Senior Product Designer, Design System
Everlaw

Everlaw is looking for a highly-motivated and self-starter product designer with meticulous attention to detail and a process-driven mindset to lead the design of Bluebook, Everlaw's design system.

You will combine your drive for pixel-perfection with a pragmatic approach that strikes the right balance between flexibility and robustness in the components you create.

You will be a part of our Product organization which guides the strategy and development of our products. We deliver value to our users by setting our product roadmap and executing on high-quality product development with efficiency and keen attention to what users need. Our products serve as the fundamental driver of value to our users, and support the success of our business. We take pride in not only creating a powerful and intuitive user experience, but in supporting users with our product documentation and certification program.
