As our Founding Product Designer, you'll own Moritz's product experience end to end. You'll be our first design hire, with the mandate to define how AI-native legal work looks and feels; on a platform that automates 80% of legal work and manages communication between lawyers and clients. This is a rare zero-to-one role for someone with exceptional craft: turning complex, high-stakes legal workflows into interfaces that feel simple, fast, and inevitable. You'll set the design bar for the entire company; the product, the design system, and the culture around them — working alongside talented software and AI engineers, and directly with the founders.
