Job Description & How to Apply Below

The Senior UI – UX Architect will serve as the creative and strategic lead for the Firm’s next generation of AI‑driven digital experiences, with a specific focus on the unique challenges of Agentic Applications.

The role-holder will define a modern look and feel that transforms complex, autonomous back-end processes into intuitive, trust-based user interfaces, prioritizing user adoption, transparency, and seamless human‑AI collaboration.

By bridging the gap between sophisticated AI reasoning and human-centric design, the individual will ensure the Firm’s AI tools feel like "smart collaborators" rather than opaque "black boxes".

Main responsibilities:

Strategic Design and AI Enablement:
  • Architect Agentic Interfaces:
    Design user interface patterns for agentic workflows, including planning and task decomposition visibility and reflection loops that explain how and why an agent reached a decision
  • Generative UI (GenUI) Leadership:
    Lead the use of dynamic UI components that adapt in real-time based on AI outputs, moving beyond static screens to context‑aware, co‑created interfaces
  • Human‑in‑the‑Loop (HITL) Orchestration:
    Develop shared control patterns that enable users to validate, intervene in, or override autonomous actions in high‑risk legal and professional workflows
  • User Adoption Strategy:
    Drive user adoption by reducing cognitive load through text‑first interfaces and scannable, artificial intelligence‑generated summaries that prioritize clarity
Modern Aesthetics and Operational Excellence:
  • Define "Modern Look & Feel":
    Establish and maintain a modern design language that reflects industry trends such as Glassmorphism, Neo‑Brutalism, and Luminous Accents to create a tactile, depth‑oriented experience that reflects cutting‑edge technology
  • Motion as Feedback:
    Implement purposeful motion design and micro‑interactions to provide clear feedback on artificial intelligence processing states
  • Design System Governance:
    Build and govern an AI‑ready design system with reusable components that scale across globally distributed teams and multiple platforms
Governance, Risk, and Trust Calibration:
  • Explainability & Transparency:
    Embed explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) cues into the UI, using step‑by‑step reasoning trails and confidence levels to build user trust
  • Ethical AI Design:
    Partner with Risk and Compliance to ensure interfaces prevent over‑reliance on AI by clearly communicating uncertainty and potential hallucinations
  • Accessibility & Inclusivity:
    Ensure all AI‑driven components meet global accessibility standards (WCAG), making intelligent tools usable for all practitioners regardless of ability
Skills and experience:
  • Extensive experience in UX/UI design, with a strong portfolio of complex SaaS or enterprise applications
  • Experience in AI design patterns, including designing for ReAct, Reflection, and multi‑agent systems
  • Proficient in React or Angular, enabling the ability to bridge the gap between design prototypes and production‑ready code
  • Expert knowledge of Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and emerging AI‑powered design tools (for example, Galileo and v0.dev)
  • Experience designing for data‑heavy, professional services environments, where precision, auditability, and accuracy are non‑negotiable
  • Understanding of the sociotechnical dynamics of trust in AI, specifically how to align perceived system capabilities with actual performance
