## Job Description

## Responsibilities
- Own design end-to-end as the first designer, shipping fast with the founders.
- Design across a large surface area, including critical internal tools and customer-facing product for legal and medical workflows.

- Design for scale, ensuring the product works effectively for customers running thousands of cases at once, both in aggregate and for individual cases.
- Layer AI as a tool to facilitate or automate workflows seamlessly, so users barely notice it.
- Shape the design language and system from the ground up, tailored to customers and industry.
- Identify drop-offs in flows, investigate causes, and lead related projects.
- Prototype quickly, ideally in code.

## Requirements
- Have been the first or an early designer at a previous company and want to own the design function.
- Senior enough to run design solo and set your own direction.
- Able to make dense products feel simple, with a portfolio demonstrating this.
- Excited about AI-native products and how people work with them.
- Primarily a product designer who can stretch into brand.
- Fully in person in Dumbo, Brooklyn.
- Portfolio required.

## Nice-to-Haves
- Prototype fast in code.
- Experience building design systems.

## Compensation
- Competitive base salary.
- Meaningful early-stage equity.
- 15 days PTO and benefits.
