THE ROLE: Patent attorneys are among the most analytically demanding users you'll ever design for. Their workflows are high-stakes, deeply nuanced, and largely unchanged for decades, until now. The Senior Product Designer is the person who makes AI feel intuitive, trustworthy, and indispensable in their hands. You won't be pushing pixels in isolation. You'll be deeply embedded with the customers who use Patlytics every day: patent litigators building claim charts under deadline pressure, prosecution teams managing sprawling portfolios, IP strategists making million-dollar decisions on prior art. Your job is to understand how they think, where they struggle, and what "better" actually looks like in their world, then design the experiences that get them there. This is a role for a designer who is obsessed with how people actually use products, not just how they look. You'll spend real time with attorneys at AmLaw 100 firms and Fortune 500 IP departments, watching them work, pressure-testing your designs in context, and iterating until the experience earns their trust. You'll shape how some of the world's most sophisticated professionals interact with cutting-edge AI, making complex retrieval, reasoning, and analysis feel effortless. The ideal candidate has always been drawn to the messy, human side of design: the research sessions that upend your assumptions, the deployment where you realize the workflow breaks in a way you didn't anticipate, the moment a skeptical user says "this actually works." Now they want to do that full-time, at the frontier of AI, in one of law's most consequential domains. YOU WILL: - Design end-to-end experiences across Patlytics' core workflows, including patent search, claim charting, portfolio analysis, prosecution, and litigation support, ensuring every interaction helps users leverage AI with confidence and clarity - Be the voice of the customer in every design decision. Conduct user research directly with patent attorneys, IP counsel, and legal operations teams. Sit in on deployments. Watch real usage. Let what you learn reshape what you build - Make AI legible. Design interfaces that surface AI-generated insights (prior art results, claim mappings, portfolio analytics) in ways that are transparent, verifiable, and actionable. Help users understand what the AI did, why, and how to act on it - Stay at the forefront of AI interaction design, keeping up with the latest in LLM-powered interfaces, retrieval-augmented generation, agentic workflows, and emerging patterns for human-AI collaboration, then bring
