Job Title: Product Designer (Early-Stage)

Role Type: Full-time

Location: San Francisco (In-office)

Compensation Range: 120,000 – 200,000 base salary + equity

An exceptional designer is being sought to join a fast-growing AI-native legal technology company in San Francisco. This is an early-stage opportunity to play a crucial role in shaping the product, user experience, and overall design strategy. The designer will work closely with leadership, marketing, and engineering to create intuitive, user-centric designs that meet customer needs. Ideal candidates are comfortable spanning product design, branding, and marketing collateral.


What the Role Owns

The designer will lead the entire creative and design process, including:

  1. Working directly with the founding team to define user interactions and product behaviors
  2. Collaborating with founders to shape product strategy and roadmap priorities through a design lens
  3. Owning all aspects of design: web, marketing, brand identity, and product UI/UX
  4. Optimizing every surface for speed, usability, and accessibility
  5. Operating in fast, iterative cycles—the team maintains no backlog
  6. Translating core operating principles into product decisions:
  7. Cycle time is key: Shipping quickly and iterating is the standard
  8. Quality matters: Work stands on its own without excessive oversight
  9. No backlogs: Building only what is needed, exactly when it is needed
  10. FITFO (Figure It The Freak Out): Independent problem-solving is expected
  11. Ownership mindset: Thinking and acting like an owner, not a task-taker


Who the Company Is Looking For

Required experience and traits:

  1. 3+ years of experience in product design
  2. Demonstrated experience as a 0→1 product designer, focused on shipping exceptional products rapidly
  3. A strong portfolio showing thoughtful, user-centered design with measurable outcomes
  4. Proficiency in Figma and modern design/prototyping tools
  5. A self-description as relentlessly resourceful
  6. A customer-first mindset with genuine passion for solving real-world problems
  7. Ability to move fast, with proven experience in high-velocity teams
  8. Excitement about artificial intelligence and shaping the future of work


What the Team Values in People

The company looks for individuals who:

  1. Ship every day: Launch frequently. Know how to descope aggressively to get results fast.
  2. Maintain fast cycle times: Think in hours, not days; days, not weeks; weeks, not months. Push the pace and use speed as a competitive weapon.
  3. Are generative: Have more ideas than time. Do not require someone to provide constant direction.
  4. Are resilient: When bad news arrives, respond with “good.” Do not give up easily.
  5. Are customer obsessed: Talk to customers regularly. Do whatever it takes to make them succeed.
  6. Like to run hard: Recognize that life is short, and that working twice as hard can often yield ten times the results.


Compensation & Benefits

  1. Competitive base salary
  2. Relocation and visa support: Assistance is available for successful applicants moving to San Francisco, including support for visa and green card applications where applicable.
  3. Medical benefits: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans to suit the needs of the employee and their family.
  4. Unlimited PTO: Time off to recharge, stay healthy, and bring the best self to work.
  5. Office extras: A generous office space in downtown San Francisco includes snacks, coffee, a dedicated exercise/workout space, and regular team-building events and activities.


To Apply

Qualified candidates should submit a resume and a link to their portfolio, along with a brief note describing a time they shipped a design feature under aggressive time constraints and what they learned from the experience.
