Staff AI UX Product Designer

LegalZoom is on a mission to help people navigate the legal system with confidence and clarification. As a leader in online legal services for over 25 years, we combine technology, attorney-led solutions, and expertise to protect the aspirations, lives, and legacies of millions of customers. If you're ready to contribute to a collaborative, diverse, and distributed group of creative thinkers and problem-solvers, we can't wait to meet you. This hybrid position will work remotely as well as onsite in our Sherman Oaks office. Human-in-the-Loop At LegalZoom, we operate with a human-in-the-loop model, where AI enhances human judgment rather than replacing it. We believe the strongest outcomes for our customers come from thoughtfully integrating human expertise with AI capabilities to improve accuracy, safety, and decision-making. To align with our AI-integrated operating model, our interview process will assess AI fluency, curiosity, and measurable/impactful workflow integration. Overview LegalZoom's product design team works at the intersection of problem solving, craft, and code. Our customers come to us at high-stakes moments in complex, trust-centered decisions, and their expectations for how that experience should feel are evolving fast. The product needs to simplify that complexity, drive real value, and deliver cohesive product and brand experiences throughout. That means modernizing our core design system, raising the bar for how design creates impact on user experience and trust, and building coherent experiences across platforms. It also means working in code: exploring design directions quickly through prototyping, then applying our craft to build high-quality working code and hand off directly to engineering. As an AI UX Designer (internally, Staff Product Designer), you own problem areas end to end while staying flexible to work across any area of the business where design can drive value. You maintain and raise the quality bar for the team, and you leverage AI to drive individual and team efficiencies, stronger workflows, and a culture of continuous improvement. We're looking for designers with startup experience who have designed, built, and launched zero-to-one products. You're hands‑on with AI tools and workflows, and you move seamlessly between ambiguity and skilled execution. You Stand Out If You've worked at a startup and can point to products you shipped that drove measurable customer or business outcomes. You've been designing and building with AI as your primary toolkit for two or more years, with a clear impact on what you delivered. You work fast through ambiguity: you find the right problem, generate ideas, and get to a working version quickly. You spot opportunities and act on them, whether that means prototyping an unsolicited concept or picking up a rough idea and making it real. You will Frame ambiguous problem spaces and explore genuinely different product directions before converging on one. Identify gaps in the design system and build new patterns and components that integrate with its architecture. Build and ship functional prototypes at production quality using real data and real interactions. Take features from requirements to shipped experience using AI development tools, contributing directly to front‑end implementation. Evaluate AI-generated work against your design intent and refine it directly. Collaborate with product and engineering on roadmap priorities, and use AI to move faster through design iteration and validation. Mentor peers and raise the craft and quality bar for the team. You have Strong design fundamentals: you defend a direction with evidence and explore meaningfully different approaches before converging. Comfort working from ambiguity, before a problem has a spec or a system has documentation. A strategic perspective: you connect the decision in front of you to where the product and team are headed. Experience building products from zero to one at a startup, an internal venture, or a small team inside a larger organization. High autonomy: you can scope your own work, make design calls with incomplete information, and ship without waiting for perfect conditions. Sustained, daily experience building with AI development tools (Claude Code or equivalent) as a core part of how you design. Fluency with Git and GitHub: branches and pull requests as part of how you ship. Experience scaffolding prompts and context to keep AI output consistent across a project. A track record of extending a design system, building what it needs rather than working around what it has. Clear communication and the ability to influence people who don't report to you. The salary range for this role is ($140,500-$224,800). Actual compensation offered will depend on several factors including but not limited to: geographic location, work experience, education, skill level, and/or other business and organizational needs. In addition, an annual bonus, incentive bonus and/or restricted stock units may be provided as part of the compensation package.
