About the role

We’re looking for a Design Engineer to help shape and ship Libra’s AI workspace for legal professionals. You’ll turn complex ideas into simple, high-quality experiences, moving from early exploration through to production code. This is a 50/50 design-engineer role where you’ll work across Figma and GitHub, closely partnering with Product Design and Product Engineering to keep ideas strong from concept to implementation while helping the team prototype, validate, and ship quickly. You’ll operate at the intersection of design, engineering, and applied AI, helping define new ways for legal professionals to research, draft, review documents, verify sources, and collaborate with intelligent systems.

What you’ll do

• Design and ship product experiences from early concepts through to polished production interfaces

• Work directly in the front-end codebase through pull requests, code reviews, testing, and release

• Partner with Product Design and Product Engineering early to shape elegant, feasible solutions

• Build functional prototypes that make complex ideas tangible and help the team test assumptions quickly

• Define interaction patterns for AI agents, legal documents, citations, generated content, and multi-step workflows

• Use AI coding and prototyping tools to accelerate exploration and implementation without compromising judgment or craft

• Translate design intent into reusable, responsive, and accessible components and product patterns

• Build accessibility into the product from the start, applying WCAG standards across interaction, navigation, content, and implementation

• Help keep Figma, shared components, and the production experience aligned as the product evolves

• Use customer feedback, research, analytics, and session replays to identify and improve critical product experiences

• Raise the quality bar across typography, spacing, motion, microcopy, loading states, empty states, and edge cases

• Operate with autonomy in a fast-moving environment where many AI interaction patterns are still being invented

What we’re looking for

• Strong experience designing and building sophisticated digital products

• A true 50/50 design engineer, equally credible in product design and front-end implementation

• An exceptional eye for visual design, interaction quality, and detail

• Strong front-end fundamentals, including TypeScript, React, HTML, and CSS

• Fluency in Figma and confidence working in GitHub and production codebases

• Experience taking features from exploration and prototyping through to release and iteration

• Strong product judgment and the ability to simplify complex, information-dense workflows

• Experience using AI tools as a meaningful part of your design and development process

• A strong understanding of responsive design, reusable components, scalable UI architecture, and WCAG accessibility standards

• Strong cross-functional instincts and the ability to collaborate with designers, engineers, product managers, and domain experts

• High ownership, clear communication, and genuine comfort with ambiguity

Nice to have

• Experience designing AI-native products, copilots, agents, or generative interfaces

• Experience with enterprise software, professional tools, or document-heavy workflows

• Experience in legal technology, research products, or knowledge-management systems

• Experience building or scaling a design system and component library

• Familiarity with component tooling such as Storybook

Our Interview Practices

To maintain a fair and genuine hiring process, we kindly ask that all candidates participate in interviews without the assistance of AI tools or external prompts. Our interview process is designed to assess your individual skills, experiences, and communication style. We value authenticity and want to ensure we’re getting to know you—not a digital assistant. To help maintain this integrity, we ask to remove virtual backgrounds and include in-person interviews in our hiring process. Please note that use of AI-generated responses or third-party support during interviews will be grounds for disqualification from the recruitment process.

Applicants may be required to appear onsite at a Wolters Kluwer office as part of the recruitment process.
