Founding Designer

About Us

Mage Legal is an AI-native legal technology company building core infrastructure for M&A, PE, and corporate legal teams. We operate with a small, talent-dense team and are expanding as adoption accelerates inside law firms and funds. Our focus is simple: build AI systems attorneys actually trust on live deals.

The Role

As our Founding Designer , you’ll own the visual design and user experience across Mage Legal’s marketing surface area and product-adjacent workflows. You’ll work directly with the founder to shape how sophisticated legal buyers discover, evaluate, and trust Mage Legal—from first touch to active use.

This is a hands-on role. You’ll design, iterate, and ship quickly. No bloated process, no endless reviews—just tight feedback loops and real impact.

What You’ll Do

• Design high-credibility marketing pages, landing pages, and web experiences tailored to legal and PE audiences.

• Create product-adjacent experiences (demos, onboarding flows, workflow previews) that communicate trust, rigor, and clarity.

• Design email templates, outbound assets, and other GTM touchpoints used in founder-led sales and partnerships.

• Collaborate directly with the CEO and engineering to translate product and business goals into clear visual systems.

• Run rapid iteration cycles informed by usage, conversion, and qualitative customer feedback.

• Help define and evolve Mage Legal’s brand identity and design system as the company scales.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong portfolio showcasing landing pages, B2B SaaS marketing sites, or high-trust product experiences.

• Excellent judgment around clarity, hierarchy, and credibility—especially for professional or enterprise users.

• Understanding of conversion-focused and adoption-focused design principles.

• HTML/CSS knowledge or willingness to learn; comfortable collaborating closely with engineering.

• Data-informed mindset: you care about what works and iterate based on signal, not taste.

• Comfortable operating independently in an early-stage environment with minimal design infrastructure.

• Based in or willing to relocate to San Francisco.

• Nice to Have

• Experience designing for legal, fintech, dev tools, or other high-stakes professional software.

• Familiarity with AI-native products or LLM-driven workflows.

• Front-end development experience.
