Founding Product Designer for AI Legal Platform

Finchlegal; New York (NY); On-site; USD 215,000 - 260,000; Full time

Job summary

Finch is building the applied AI platform for consumer law in New York City. We’re seeking a product designer with 4–10+ years of experience to own the end-to-end design of our external-facing case management product and to work closely with engineers, attorneys, and paralegals.

You will probe real workflows, extend design into internal tools, and contribute to a fast-growing, mission-driven team focused on expanding access to justice.

Qualifications

• 4-10+ years of product design experience with direct ownership of complex workflows.
• A demonstrated habit of doing discovery before designing by spending time with the people doing the work.
• Experience designing operationally intensive software, such as B2B or workflow-heavy products.
• Comfort thinking in code and working closely with engineers, carrying decisions through implementation.
• A track record of forming and defending design decisions with clear reasoning while staying collaborative and receptive to feedback.

Responsibilities

• Own product design end-to-end for our external-facing case management product, from discovery through implementation.
• Sit with attorneys and paralegals, watch how they work in Finch’s tools and systems such as Filevine, and identify friction before proposing a solution.
• Turn individual stakeholder requests into solutions that work across the product, rather than one-off fixes that create clutter elsewhere.
• Work closely with engineering and the codebase, shipping simple copy, layout, or styling changes yourself where it makes sense.
• Help extend the external product experience into our internal paralegal tools as the two converge.
• Bring a clear point of view to design reviews, explain your reasoning, and push back constructively while remaining open to new evidence.
