About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

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 those ideas into the product
Drive design through the full lifecycle, from early discovery and concept exploration through high-fidelity prototyping, usability testing, and post-launch iteration. Own the quality of the shipped experience, not just the mockup
Create scalable design systems and patterns that bring consistency across a rapidly expanding product surface while remaining flexible enough for the specialized needs of different IP workflows

Requirements

What you’ll need

6+ years of product design experience, with a strong portfolio demonstrating end-to-end ownership of complex, workflow-heavy products, ideally in B2B SaaS, legal tech, professional services, or enterprise tools for expert users
Proven ability to design for AI-powered products. You understand the unique UX challenges of LLM-based systems (handling uncertainty, surfacing confidence, designing for variable outputs, managing user trust) and you've shipped solutions that address them
Precise communication that adjusts for audience, whether you're walking an attorney through a prototype, aligning with a PM on scope, or presenting a design rationale to leadership
Extreme ownership. You drive projects to completion without waiting for direction, close feedback loops proactively, and hold yourself accountable for the experience customers actually have, not just the one you designed on paper
