Product Designer

You enjoy owning not just how it looks, but how it works.

You’re not here to decorate screens—you’re here to design real, working products from the ground up. You think in user journeys, edge cases, flows, and outcomes. You ask why before you sketch, and you care just as much about usability and clarity as you do about aesthetics.

We’re Open Legal
, and we’re on a mission to democratize access to justice
. We’re building tools that make legal services simpler, smarter, and more accessible—starting with small law firms and the people they serve.

As our first Product Designer, you’ll define the product experience from 0 to 1. You’ll work directly with engineers and founders. There are no product managers, no red tape—you are the owner of the user experience, from research and flows to final pixels and documentation.

• Lead design end-to-end
  Own everything from initial sketches to high-fidelity Figma files. Design the flows, interactions, and visuals—and refine them post-launch.
• Talk to users
  Conduct interviews, usability tests, and synthesize feedback into actionable insights. Know what matters to our customers, not just what looks good.
• Understand the landscape
  Research competitors, uncover white space, and help us build a product that feels inevitable.
• Write, explain, and document
  Create detailed specs, UX notes, and expected outcomes. You’ll define how things work, and make sure engineering has what they need to bring your designs to life.
• Design for what’s coming
  You’ll define test cases, help identify edge cases, and think beyond launch.

• 2–5 years of experience designing digital products
• A strong portfolio showing thoughtful UX work and real product impact
• Proficiency in Figma and a strong grasp of interaction design
• Great written and verbal communication—you can explain the “why” behind every pixel
• High ownership—you want to be part of early decisions, not just downstream execution
• Comfort in ambiguity and startup environments

• Experience working without a PM or QA—where design is the spec
• Familiarity with SaaS, legal tech, or AI-driven products
• Ability to write clear product expectations or test cases
• Comfort in startup-style roles where you wear multiple hats

• Mission-driven work: Help make the legal system more accessible and understandable
• Full ownership: You’re not just designing screens—you’re shaping the product
• Direct impact: No red tape. Just you, users, and a team that ships
• Design-first culture: We believe product design is product strategy
• Flexible & remote-friendly: We care about outcomes, not location
