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 We'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 don't
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 TypeScript) — 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
