Lead UX Designer (AI / LegalTech)

Tl;dr: Join StrongSuit, the most advanced legal generative‑AI platform, as a hands‑on UX Designer. San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Dallas, or Remote.

About StrongSuit

We’re at the start of the most consequential technology shift in a generation, and the trillion-dollar legal industry sits squarely in its path. StrongSuit is building the legal-native AI platform that transforms litigation; we’ve raised $13M since 2023 and just won Legal Research Platform of the Year.

StrongSuit is a deeply integrated, end-to-end platform, spanning legal research, drafting, fact and timeline organization, discovery, and an agentic Assistant, all organized around a single legal matter, where insights from one workflow feed the rest.

We are making a big bet on purpose-built, interactive, visual, iterative workflows while most of the rest of the industry is betting on the command-line. The most critical key to our success is amazing design.

We work hard, ship fast, and win together.

Your Role

We’re searching for a designer who:

• Turns frontier AI into intuitive lawyer workflows, reducing cognitive load & driving elegance and consistency across our platform.
• Treats craft and speed as inseparable. Rapidly prototype, user-test, polish, and ship.
• Owns the end-to-end design stack: research → IA → wireframes → hi-fi → design QA.
• Helps us rethink onboarding, training, and our “prosumer” sales funnel.
• Wants to go “all-in” on a high-growth startup and thrives in ambiguous, 0 → 1 environments

Seniority Level

Senior, Staff, Lead, or Principal level designer. Great relevant experience is more important than high seniority.

You will report to the CEO.
