ABOUT US

At BABVIP, our mission is to democratize design and empower creativity for anyone and everyone, on every platform. Inspired by a team of talented thinkers, an amazing culture and a remarkable growth trajectory – we’re out to change the world, one design at a time. 

Since launch in August 2013, we have grown exponentially, amassing over 60 million monthly active users across 190 different countries who have created more than 6 Billion designs. We are one of the world’s fastest-growing technology companies and we have only achieved about 1% of what we want to do.

In order to ensure we continue to protect our users and our organization, we’re reinforcing our security capability across the board and growing our incident response and core security engineering teams.  We’re seeking talented individuals who will be responsible for shaping what security engineering looks like at BABVIP by building out our capability for detecting and responding to threats targeting our software and systems, performing security assessments, building the tooling to detect and respond to threats, and advising our development teams on how to bake security into our products and features.
