Full Job Description
The Work

Design is central to what we build. Our work is responsible for critical legal and medical workflows; the job is all about maximizing simplicity while minimizing loss of fidelity. Our customers do not care about the latest model update or extraction pipelines. They care about results: getting full information as quickly as possible. You'll be the one 'behind the curtain', modulating the experience between the two extremes.

You'll be our first designer, own design end to end, and ship fast with the founders. You are someone who likes to:
  • Design across a large surface area with many different stakeholders. You will spend as much time on critical internal tools as you will customer facing product.
  • Simplify extremely large contexts. Medical records are comprised of messy, conflicting, scanned, duplicative, and largely faxed information, ingested thousands of pages at a time.
  • Design for scale. Customers run thousands of cases at once, so the product has to work just as well in aggregate as it does for individual cases.
  • Layer in AI as a tool, not an outcome. Every workflow should be facilitated or automated with AI, and the user should barely realize that it's there.
  • Shape our design language and system from the ground up, within the context of our customers and industry.


Who we're looking for
  • You've been the first or an early designer somewhere and want to own the function.
  • You're senior enough to run design solo and set your own direction.
  • You make dense products feel simple, and your portfolio shows it.
  • You notice the drop-off in a flow, dig into why, and bring us the project.
  • You're excited about AI-native product and how people work with it.
  • You prototype fast, ideally in code.
  • You're primarily a product designer who can stretch into brand.


Non-negotiables
  • Fully in person in Dumbo, Brooklyn.
  • A portfolio.


Tools

Built on shadcn and Tailwind. No design system yet, so you'll build it. Figma or code, we don't mind how you get there.

Compensation

Competitive base salary, meaningful early-stage equity, 15 days PTO, and benefits.
