Job description

A business owner opens a review with a contract in one hand and a salesperson waiting for an answer. They need to know which clause to worry about within four seconds, without reading a legend.

That is a genuinely hard design problem: dense legal text, a risk hierarchy, an explanation and a suggested change, on a laptop and on a phone, without turning it into a dashboard.

What you would own

• Own the review screen, the dashboard and the flow from paste to answer.
• Design for the phone first on the reading path, because that is where contracts get read.
• Keep the visual system honest: hairlines and space, one amber, no decoration that does not carry information.
• Sit in on customer calls. The person who watches someone use this should be the person who designs it.

What we are looking for

• Five or more years designing software people use to make a decision, not to browse.
• A portfolio with at least one dense, information-heavy screen you are proud of.
• You build your own prototypes, in code or close to it.
• You have a view about typography and can defend it.

How hiring runs

A thirty minute call with a founder, then a paid work session on a real problem from our backlog, three to four hours, then conversations with two people you would work with. Four steps, usually inside two weeks, and we tell you where you stand at every one.
