Charm Security-Lead Product Designer

Charm is on a mission to break the scam spell. We're building the world's first Scam Defense AI platform that proactively protects people from social engineering attacks and human-centric fraud. Using proprietary behavioral science models, we combine psychology and AI to prevent scams before they happen, not just detect them after the damage is done.

This is a rare opportunity to join us at the ground floor and have outsized impact as we revolutionize how financial institutions protect their customers from the hundreds of billions in annual losses caused by scammers who exploit human psychology.

As our Lead Product Designer, you'll shape the user experience of our AI agents and copilots that literally save people from financial and emotional devastation. You'll design interfaces that need to work under high-stress situations. When customers are being actively scammed, while maintaining trust, clarity, and calm.

Your designs will directly impact:

• Prevention Agent: Real-time customer protection interfaces that intervene during active scam attempts
• Copilot: Tools for fraud analysts and call center agents analyzing conversations in real-time
• Customer-Facing Agent: Self-serve interfaces where vulnerable users seek help and emotional support
