## Job description

### About the Company

Adalat AI is building an end-to-end justice tech stack that automates manual and clerical pain points in courtrooms, giving judges back time to focus on what matters most: decision-making and delivering justice. Our solutions - from AI-powered transcription in Indian languages to case-flow management and document navigation - are now deployed across 9 states, covering nearly 20% of India’s judiciary. Backed by leading technology companies and funders, and incubated at MIT and Oxford, Adalat AI is working to eliminate judicial delays and expand access to timely justice. Founded by a team with backgrounds in law, technology, and economics from Harvard, Oxford, MIT, and IIIT Hyderabad, we are scaling rapidly across India and the Global South.

### Role Overview

As **Lead Product Designer**, you will own design for **Adalat AI’s flagship product** and help define the design vision across our growing product suite. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who has led small to mid-sized design teams in fast-moving environments and enjoys **product ownership.**

You’ll work closely with the founders to define product vision, and with our on-ground legal partnerships team to embed **user-first, research-driven practices** across the design process.

This role is less about pixel-perfect mobile UI and more about **systems thinking, product strategy, team leadership, and taste**.

### Key Responsibilities

### Product Leadership & Ownership

-   Own problem definition and solution design for Adalat AI’s core product areas
-   Partner with founders to shape roadmap decisions, trade-offs, and long-term product and design vision
-   Lead major feature revamps and workflow improvements
-   Design for unique constraints of Indian Judiciary: multilingual usage, varying digital literacy, legacy legal processes

### Design & Team Leadership

-   Design **with and for AI** with focus on human-in-the-loop workflows, explainability, and trust in AI-assisted features
-   Lead, mentor and hire junior designers for our growing design team
-   Set a high bar for craft, critique, and user-first decision-making
-   Establish scalable design processes while staying lightweight and execution-focused

### Systems, Research & Scale

-   Spearhead Adalat AI’s **design system**
-   Lead **AI-assisted design initiatives** to improve velocity and consistency
-   Build a **strong user research and voice of customer pipeline** with the partnerships team to ground decisions in real courtroom insights

### Qualifications

-   8-10 years of product design experience, with 2-3 years leading a team
-   Experience owning complex B2B or workflow-heavy products
-   Strong systems thinking and experience building or scaling design systems
-   Comfortable working directly with founders and senior stakeholders
-   Portfolio showing product thinking, shipped work, and leadership impact

**Nice to have:** Familiarity with legal-tech or gov-tech, experience with AI-driven audio-first products

### What You Will Achieve in a Year

-   Launch multiple text-based AI-powered tools for judiciary
-   Build and scale our design system to serve thousands of judges and law staff
-   Design for one of India’s most complex and impactful systems: the judiciary
-   Shape both our flagship product and the design culture behind it
-   High ownership, real-world impact, and room to define how design operates at scale
