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.\nThis 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.\nWhat You'll Do\nProduct Experience & Craft\nOwn end-to-end product design for Moritz's AI-powered platform - from information architecture and user journeys to high-fidelity UI\nTranslate dense legal workflows into clear, elegant interaction patterns\nSweat the details - spacing, typography, hierarchy, motion - the polish that makes software feel premium\nDefine our AI-native interaction patterns: streaming, inline editing, agent handoffs, human-in-the-loop review\nDesign Systems & Prototyping\nBuild and own Moritz's design system and component library from the ground up\nPrototype fast - in Figma or in code - and iterate on real user feedback\nPartner with engineers to ship pixel-perfect, accessible, performant interfaces\nMaster the latest AI design and development tools to multiply your output\nProduct Strategy\nWork directly with the founders to shape product direction and UX strategy\nLead customer discovery with lawyers and clients to find the pain worth solving\nTurn ambiguity into shipped product: prototype, test, refine, deliver\nAs we grow, hire and lead the design team - this role is built to become Head of Design\nWhat We're Looking For\n3+ years designing digital products people love, with a portfolio that proves world-class craft\nExperience designing complex workflows, dashboards, or B2B/productivity tools\nDeep visual and interaction design skill - you notice the 1px things others don't\nStrong product intuition: you understand what makes software feel simple and fast\nComfort working close to code - you can prototype in it and collaborate fluently with engineers\nExcellent communication - you can articulate and defend design decisions with founders, engineers, and customers\nMastery of Figma and modern design tooling\nBonus Points\nYou've been a founding or early designer at a high-growth startup\nFrontend proficiency (we use Next.js and TypeScript) - you can ship your own designs to production\nDeep familiarity with AI-native UI patterns (streaming, copilots, agentic workflows)\nBackground in legaltech, fintech, or other high-trust B2B domains\nAccessibility and performance optimization experience\nWhy Moritz\nFirst designer: total ownership of the product experience, design system, and design culture\nWork directly with both founders from day one\nBacked by Y Combinator (W26), with a $9M seed from YC, 20VC, and Urban Innovation Fund\nReal traction: enterprise clients already trust us with $3B+ in contract value\nWe're building the defining AI-native firm in a $1T+ industry\nHigh trust, high autonomy, high bar\nAccelerated growth path into Head of Design or product leadership","description_format":"text","description_chars":3259,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Legal Services","Legal AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-19T00:02:51Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":8,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":0.4,"p_active":0.548,"p_room":0.36,"age_days":58,"expected_fill_days":32,"reasons":["seen:58","win:tail","crowd:attention"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":180000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/moritz-founding-product-designer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/moritz-founding-product-designer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T03:52:51Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":5078,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":9383},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=9383"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmoritz-founding-product-designer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fmoritz-founding-product-designer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fmoritz-founding-product-designer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/moritz-founding-product-designer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmoritz-founding-product-designer"}]}
