Product Designer (UX/UI)

nu:legal is building the first AI platform that takes legal, regulatory, and bureaucratic processes off companies' plates end-to-end. Not for law firms, but for the companies themselves, from mid-sized businesses to fast-growing teams that finally want their legal handled without the hassle. We're a small, ambitious team in Berlin/Potsdam.

You own the entire design area as the first and central designer in the company. That means no art director and no huge structure. Instead, real influence, real responsibility, and a product you shape from the start.

Tasks

• Own UX as your core focus: plan and run user tests with real users, analyze them, and turn the insights directly into product improvements.
• Evolve the nu:legal product, from UX concept through UI design to implementation in Figma.
• Actively maintain and grow our existing design system, components, tokens, and patterns, so it scales with the product and stays usable for engineering.
• Work closely with engineering, marketing, and management, iteratively and directly.
• Beyond the product, help shape what we show the outside world: brand, marketing assets, and website.

Requirements

• At least 3 years of professional experience in product design / UX and UI. You can independently run a complete design process.
• You're a Figma pro: components, variants, auto layout, design tokens, design library.
• You can make and defend clear, well-reasoned design decisions, even when you're the only designer in the room.
• You're good at reducing complexity: not leaving things out, but making them understandable.
• You're comfortable with AI tools and ready to use them to optimize and rethink processes.
• You bring your own ideas, work in a structured way, and take ownership of the entire design area.
• You question existing workflows and product decisions, are open to real innovation, and use AI actively as a tool.

Benefits

• Competitive salary plus equity. You build with us, you participate in the upside.
• Real design ownership over a product from day one.
• Direct collaboration with the founders and a small, ambitious team.
• Regular home-office days and one month of remote work anywhere.
• Top equipment (laptop, design monitor).

Application Process

• Intro call (~30 min): a first read on both sides and a check against the honest "What to expect".
• Design interview: we go through your portfolio, your process, and your UX decisions together.
• Practical design task: compact and on real problems, not a throwaway test.
• Meet the team.
• Final conversation with the CEO/founder.
• Offer.
