Full Job Description
About The Role

We're seeking a Design Engineer to bridge the gap between design and engineering at GC AI. In this role, you'll help shape our design system implementation, architect front-end solutions, and ensure seamless user experiences across our platform. You'll be instrumental in creating intuitive interfaces that transform how legal professionals work, making sophisticated legal tasks feel simple and accessible.

Why This Role Matters

Legal teams today are drowning in work. Our platform changes that, but only if we build it right. As a Design Engineer, you'll be crafting the visual systems and interactions that make sophisticated legal work feel simple and intuitive. Your work won't just look good - it will fundamentally change how legal teams operate, making their work faster, smarter, and more impactful.

What You'll Do
  • Architect and implement complex UI components and systems that balance aesthetics with technical performance.
  • Lead the technical implementation and evolution of our design system across our marketing.
  • Create prototypes to explore new interaction models and validate design concepts for legal workflows.
  • Establish best practices for front-end development and component architecture.
  • Mentor engineers on design principles and implementation techniques.
  • Develop tools and processes to improve design-to-development workflow.
  • Contribute to design reviews.
  • Champion accessible, responsive, and performant user interfaces for legal teams.
  • Build marketing landing pages.


Impact You'll Have
  • Define the visual language and interaction patterns for AI-native legal workflows so teams complete reviews faster and with more confidence.
  • Turn ambiguous user pain points into elegant, production-ready interfaces that measurably reduce time-to-answer and error rates.
  • Establish a reusable design system that speeds up iteration across product, growth, and integrations surfaces.
  • Partner with AI + product engineering to make complex model behavior legible through clear affordances, states, and explanations.


Required Experience
  • 5+ years of experience in front-end development with a strong design sensibility.
  • Expert-level knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript, and React.
  • Deep experience with modern front-end frameworks (React preferred).
  • Strong understanding of design systems and component-based architecture.
  • Experience implementing complex UI animations and interactions.
  • Proven ability to translate design concepts into production-ready code.
  • Strong communication skills to effectively collaborate with both design and engineering teams.
  • Experience with accessibility standards and best practices.


Nice To Have
  • Experience with Framer.
  • Understanding of legal tech or B2B SaaS.


A Note On Pace

We're building something new in a once-in-a-generation shift in technology and the legal industry, so we move at a relentless pace. We expect urgency, ownership, and good judgment even when things aren't perfectly clear. If you need structure and consensus to do your best work, this isn't the right place for you. If you thrive in ambiguity and growth, work with intensity, and want real responsibility, keep reading. We're excited to meet you.

Location Policy

This is a remote role unless you fall within the following parameters. If you live within approximately 50 miles of our San Mateo, CA or Provo, UT office, the position follows a hybrid schedule with in-office days on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.
