Product Designer

Fable Security is tackling the most critical challenge in cybersecurity: human errors. Human error is the #1 cause of security breaches, yet employees lack effective ways to learn what they need to stay secure. Fable is here to change that.

Fable's mission is to prevent cyber attacks by harnessing AI to transform human behavior and improve human defenses. We use the best practices from GenAI and behavioral systems to automatically identify your employees at risk, curate hyper-personalized Gen-AI video briefings, and deploy at the most relevant time, enabling employees to make the best security choices everywhere they work.

Backed by Redpoint Ventures and Greylock Partners and founded by early Abnormal Security team members, Fable is solving cybersecurity’s biggest challenge in a multi-billion-dollar market. Our team includes alumni from Meta, Twitter, Flexport, and top-tier universities like Waterloo, Columbia, Berkeley, Purdue, CMU, Stanford, UCLA, and USC. We are experiencing explosive growth, making this a career-defining opportunity to join and shape the future of security.
