About The Position

Sandstone is seeking a Founding Product Designer to help shape the future of their AI-native legal platform.

Requirements

6+ years of experience as a Product Designer, or a related role within a high-growth B2B SaaS environment.
Front-end development experience or willingness to code with AI tools.
Demonstrated track record of entrepreneurship or of success in an unstructured environment - you’re hungry, low ego, and generative.
Empathy to understand what a customer is feeling and emotional intelligence to know what would feel natural to them.

Responsibilities

Collaborate cross-functionally to design, build, and iterate on core product features.
Own product work end-to-end: Partner with engineering to define problems, explore solution spaces, validate concepts, and ship product improvements that move key metrics. Stay involved through launch and iteration, not just handoff.
As our first dedicated design hire, set the standards, establish our design system and processes that you want to see to ensure a consistent, seamless, and thoughtful product experience.
Help us improve how we solicit and incorporate customer feedback directly into the product.
Build our design team and culture from the ground up in close collaboration with our co-founders.
