Job Description & How to Apply Below

As our Founding Product Designer, you'll own Moritz's product experience end to end. 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.

This 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.

What You'll Do Product Experience & Craft
  • Own end-to-end product design for Moritz's AI-powered platform — from information architecture and user journeys to high-fidelity UI
  • Translate dense legal workflows into clear, elegant interaction patterns
  • Sweat the details — spacing, typography, hierarchy, motion — the polish that makes software feel premium
  • Define our AI-native interaction patterns: streaming, inline editing, agent handoffs, human-in-the-loop review
Design Systems & Prototyping
  • Build and own Moritz's design system and component library from the ground up
  • Prototype fast — in Figma or in code — and iterate on real user feedback
  • Partner with engineers to ship pixel-perfect, accessible, performant interfaces
  • Master the latest AI design and development tools to multiply your output
Product Strategy
  • Work directly with the founders to shape product direction and UX strategy
  • Lead customer discovery with lawyers and clients to find the pain worth solving
  • Turn ambiguity into shipped product: prototype, test, refine, deliver
  • As we grow, hire and lead the design team — this role is built to become Head of Design
What You're Looking For
  • 3+ years designing digital products people love, with a portfolio that proves world-class craft
  • Experience designing complex workflows, dashboards, or B2B/productivity tools
  • Deep visual and interaction design skill — you notice the 1px things others dont
  • Strong product intuition: you understand what makes software feel simple and fast
  • Comfort working close to code — you can prototype in it and collaborate fluently with engineers
  • Excellent communication — you can articulate and defend design decisions with founders, engineers, and customers
  • Mastery of Figma and modern design tooling
Bonus Points
  • You've been a founding or early designer at a high-growth startup
  • Frontend proficiency (we use Next.js and Type Script) — you can ship your own designs to production
  • Deep familiarity with AI-native UI patterns (streaming, copilots, agentic workflows)
  • Background in legaltech, fintech, or other high-trust B2B domains
  • Accessibility and performance optimization experience
Why Moritz
  • First designer: total ownership of the product experience, design system, and design culture
  • Work directly with both founders from day one
  • Backed by Y Combinator (W26), with a $9M seed from YC, 20VC, and Urban Innovation Fund
  • Real traction: enterprise clients already trust us with $3B+ in contract value
  • We're building the defining AI-native firm in a $1T+ industry
  • High trust, high autonomy, high bar
  • Accelerated growth path into Head of Design or product leadership
