Founding Designer
August is building the future of legal work. Our agentic AI transforms how lawyers retrieve knowledge, reason through documents, and automate complex workflows — giving legal teams a massive edge.
We’re a high-energy team backed by Tier 1 VCs. In just a few months, we’ve landed law firms and have seen 4x growth last quarter— and we’re growing fast.
Founded by alumni of Wachtell Lipton, Blackstone, DoorDash, Columbia, and NYU Law, we’re in the earliest innings of a generational shift. Join us and help redefine how legal work gets done.
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
