Founding Designer

About Us

Mage Legal is an AI-native legal technology company building core infrastructure for M&A, PE, and corporate legal teams. We operate with a small, talent-dense team and are expanding as adoption accelerates inside law firms and funds. Our focus is simple: build AI systems attorneys actually trust on live deals.

The Role

As our Founding Designer, you’ll own the visual design and user experience across Mage Legal’s marketing surface area and product-adjacent workflows. You’ll work directly with the founder to shape how sophisticated legal buyers discover, evaluate, and trust Mage Legal-from first touch to active use.

This is a hands-on role. You’ll design, iterate, and ship quickly. No bloated process, no endless reviews-just tight feedback loops and real impact.

What You’ll Do

• Design high-credibility marketing pages, landing pages, and web experiences tailored to legal and PE audiences.
• Create product-adjacent experiences (demos, onboarding flows, workflow previews) that communicate trust, rigor, and clarity.
• Design email templates, outbound assets, and other GTM touchpoints used in founder-led sales and partnerships.
• Collaborate directly with the CEO and engineering to translate product and business goals into clear visual systems.
• Run rapid iteration cycles informed by usage, conversion, and qualitative customer feedback.
• Help define and evolve Mage Legal’s brand identity and design system as the company scales.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong portfolio showcasing landing pages, B2B SaaS marketing sites, or high-trust product experiences.
• Excellent judgment around clarity, hierarchy, and credibility-especially for professional or enterprise users.
• Understanding of conversion-focused and adoption-focused design principles.
• HTML/CSS knowledge or willingness to learn; comfortable collaborating closely with engineering.
• Data-informed mindset: you care about what works and iterate based on signal, not taste.
• Comfortable operating independently in an early-stage environment with minimal design infrastructure.
• Based in or willing to relocate to San Francisco.

Nice to Have

• Experience designing for legal, fintech, dev tools, or other high-stakes professional software.
• Familiarity with AI-native products or LLM-driven workflows.
• Front-end development experience.
