ISMG Careers • Full-time • West Windsor, New Jersey, United States • $110k - $150k / year • 5d ago

About Us

ISMGis a global intelligence firm and media powerhouse, leading the way in cybersecurity, enterprise IT, and digital transformation. With 10+ brands, 38 digital media properties, and over 400 premier events annually—ISMG connects a network of over 2M executives, decision-makers, and innovators with the insights and opportunities they need to stay ahead.

Apollo is the proprietary creation of ISMG's AI & Innovation team. It's an internal hub of AI-powered applications and workflows, custom-built for our various business units (Editorial, Marketing, Events, Sales, HR, etc.). It streamlines operations with intelligent automation and data-driven insights, and transforms how teams access critical cybersecurity insights by exclusively leveraging ISMG-verified sources—so teams move faster with confidence.

The Opportunity

ISMG is building a portfolio of AI-native intelligence products — audience analytics reporting, an AI-generated daily cybersecurity newscast, and a sourced Q&A system built on our conference archive. Every one of them is currently limited by the same thing: the interface.

We have the pipelines, the data warehouse, and the models. What we do not have is anyone who owns what a CISO actually sees. As our AI Product Designer, you would be that person.

This is a founding design-engineering role on a small team, with unusual latitude and unusual visibility. What you ship goes in front of security executives, ISMG’s editorial organization, and enterprise clients.

What You’ll Do

Own the front-end and interaction design for the team’s AI products end to end — from stakeholder conversation to deployed application.
Conduct lightweight user research, prototype workflows, and validate designs with clients and internal users before and after release.
Translate complex AI and reporting workflows into clear information architecture and task-oriented experiences.
Solve the interaction problems specific to AI output: how confidence is communicated, how citations surface, how a reviewer approves or rejects a machine-generated draft, and how uncertainty reads without eroding trust.
Build quickly with AI-assisted development tooling, then rehome that output into ISMG’s Azure environment — Microsoft Entra ID authentication, App Service or Static Web Apps, and Azure DevOps pipelines.
Establish the design system this team does not currently have: components, states, data visualization patterns, and an accessibility baseline.
Build and maintain Figma libraries, design tokens, and a practical design-to-code handoff process.
Design for enterprise realities: role-based access, dense data, audit trails, exports, responsive behavior, and accessible interaction patterns.
Instrument everything through Application Insights and bring adoption and usage data back into the roadmap.
Partner directly with the AI Innovation Manager on API contracts and data access, and with business units across editorial, marketing, and sales on what they actually need.

What You Bring to the Table

3 to 5 years of experience in enterprise front-end / UI/UX product development and design.
Strong understanding of user flows, interaction patterns, responsive UX, and intuitive interface design.
Experience with user-centered product discovery and demonstrated design judgment, able to synthesize user feedback and make evidence-based UX decisions around refinements.
Advanced proficiency in Next.js, React, TypeScript, modern CSS, and semantic HTML.
Strong knowledge of enterprise UX fundamentals: accessibility & performance, responsive behavior, role-based access, dense data / visualization.
Experience using Claude for prototyping and Claude Code with VS Code/Cursor to turn UI/UX requirements into production-ready frontend code.
Advanced design-system capability and expertise in Tailwind CSS, design tokens, themes, and dark mode.
Experience with cross-platform mobile/tablet design, implementing solutions for compatibility and optimal UI/UX across various handheld devices.
Strong knowledge of WCAG, ARIA, and Core Web Vitals.
Exceptional attention to detail with a strong eye for spacing, typography, motion, responsiveness, and visual issues AI-generated code may miss.
Experience with GitHub/Bitbucket code repositories and CI/CD workflows for team collaboration and deployments.
