Overview

LegalZoom is seeking a Senior Web Designer, Design Systems to create intuitive, scalable, high-performing experiences across our marketing web platform.

This is a hands-on UX/UI design role combining strong visual craft, systems thinking, and a bias toward shipping. You’ll use AI throughout your daily design process, working across Figma, AI-assisted code editors, and our component-based CMS to design, prototype, build, and ship.

You’ll own and evolve our marketing web design system while helping lead its transition toward an AI- and code-first system that can be reliably used by both people and AI agents.

You will

Steward and evolve the web design system

• Serve as the primary UX/UI practitioner leading the evolution of the marketing web design system, from foundations and tokens through design patterns and production components.

• Apply strong UX/UI design skills to simplify customer journeys and create intuitive, commercially effective experiences.

• Bring a high bar for visual craft, typography, hierarchy, interaction, responsive design, and accessibility.

• Refactor legacy experiences, correct visual or structural drift, and evolve the system rather than creating unnecessary one-offs.

• Champion UX/UI and design system standards through reviews, documentation, critique, and implementation support.

Design, build, and ship with AI

• Use AI throughout your daily UX/UI design process - from exploration and prototyping through component creation, implementation, and QA.

• Move fluidly between Figma, AI-assisted code editors, and our CMS, choosing the fastest way to explore and validate an idea.

• Prototype directly in code with AI and push implementations further yourself when appropriate.

• Ship day-to-day web improvements as well as larger revamps of pages and site sections.

• Proactively improve processes using AI to collaborate across brand, SEO, product marketing, partnerships, product, and engineering on campaigns and major brand moments.

Build an AI- and code-first design system

• Help evolve our design system from primarily Figma-driven to increasingly code-first and AI-native.

• Define the rules, specs, prompts, tokens, UX/UI patterns, and constraints AI agents need to use the system correctly.

• Design components for both human and AI use, making intended behavior and constraints explicit.

• Test AI-generated experiences against UX/UI, brand, accessibility, and design system standards.

• Turn successful AI-assisted design and development workflows into repeatable practices for the team.

You have

• 5-8+ years of experience in UX/UI design for web marketing experiences, with significant experience building or evolving design systems.

• A strong portfolio demonstrating UX/UI thinking, visual design craft, and design system work.

• Hands-on experience using AI in your design process. You should already have tools, workflows, and opinions about where AI improves your work.

• Fluency in Figma and component-based UX/UI design, with the technical fluency to work in an increasingly code-first environment.

• Comfort using AI-assisted coding tools to prototype and build. You don't need to be a front-end engineer, but code shouldn't be a boundary.

• Strong knowledge of responsive UX/UI design, accessibility, design tokens, components, and prototyping.

• Component-driven CMS experience, such as Builder.io, is a strong plus.

• Experience designing conversion-oriented experiences where trust and clarity matter; legal, financial, healthcare, or similarly regulated categories are a plus.

• Excellent visual judgment and strong communication and critique skills.

• Enthusiasm for helping define how AI changes UX/UI design and design systems at scale.
