As a Founding Designer at August, you'll lead the design function, focusing on UI/UX and brand identity for AI legal tools. You'll collaborate with engineers and legal experts to create user-friendly interfaces for complex workflows and develop a cohesive visual language.
The summary above was generated by AI

At August, we’re building AI designed for one thing: helping law firms practice better. Unlike tools built for the AmLaw 100, our focus is on midsized firms — where efficiency, client service, and competitive advantage matter most.

Our platform helps lawyers draft, review, and analyze documents at scale, turning what used to take hours into minutes. We’re trusted by forward-thinking firms across the U.S., Australia, and Asia, and backed by leading investors (NEA, Pear VC, Stanford Law) to grow globally.

We move quickly, learn directly from clients, and believe that AI is transforming the practice of law.

The Opportunity

August is building AGI for law. Our agents mimic a lawyers’ reasoning, research, and drafting, and our workflows already outperform lawyers in third-party evaluations. We’re targeting mid-market law firms, automating their legal work and allowing them to provide our tools directly to their clients. Join August at an early stage as we scale our agents to process thousands of documents simultaneously and create outputs exceeding human-level accuracy.

As a Founding Designer at August, you’ll own the design function end-to-end—shaping the product experience, refining our brand identity, and setting the design culture. You’ll work closely with the founders, engineers, and legal experts to craft intuitive interfaces for complex AI workflows and create a brand that resonates with law firms worldwide

What You'll Do
  • Lead design for product and brand—owning UI/UX, visual identity, and marketing materials.

  • Translate complex legal AI workflows into simple, intuitive user experiences.

  • Partner with engineers to prototype, test, and ship AI-native interfaces at speed.

  • Develop a consistent visual language across product, website, and external communications.

  • Help build the foundation of August’s design culture, processes, and standards.

About You
  • 2+ years of professional design experience (product, brand, or both).

  • Strong portfolio showcasing polished product design and/or brand systems.

  • Proficiency with modern design tools (Figma or equivalent) and comfort with rapid iteration.

  • Ability to design elegant solutions for complex workflows.

  • Comfortable working at an early stage company with ownership and autonomy.

Benefits
  • Medical insurance coverage

  • 401k (including employer match on contributions made while employed by Ramp)

  • Flexible PTO

  • Parental Leave

  • Centralized office equipment ordering for all employees

  • Health and Wellness stipend for gym memberships

  • In-office perks: lunch, snacks, drinks, and more

  • Budget for intra-office travel

Why Join August
  • Founding Impact: Shape not just your role but the company.

  • Uncapped Upside: Competitive base + commission, early equity ownership.

  • Top-tier Team: Work alongside people who move fast, think clearly, and care deeply.

  • Category-Defining Work: Help build the first true AI agents for the legal profession.
