Mid-Level Product Designer

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 30% 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.

Our Paperless Operations team is taking this further, digitising the full lifecycle of a case beyond the courtroom, from filing to scrutiny to registration to final judgment, into a single, continuous digital system across partner state judiciaries.

Role Overview

As a Mid-Level Product Designer on the Paperless Operations team, you'll help shape how India's courts move from paper to digital. This is a hands-on role for a designer who is energised by real-world problems, takes ownership of their work, and wants to design for users whose workflows and tech comfort look nothing like the typical SaaS audience.

We design for uniquely Indian legal contexts, varied tech adoption, language needs, and legacy processes. You'll work closely with senior designers, the product team, and our on-ground legal and operations teams, spending real time in the field to understand how users actually work.

Key Responsibilities

Run primary user research with court officials and translate observations into clear insights

Create UX flows and high-fidelity UI for web-first, workflow-heavy products
Partner with senior designers and engineers to ship pixel-perfect, usable interfaces
Help build and maintain a strong user research pipeline that keeps decisions grounded in reality
Design with empathy for users new to digital tools, prioritising clarity, trust, and ease of adoption

Qualifications

2-4 years of product design experience, ideally on workflow-driven, web-first, or B2B products
Hands-on experience with primary user research and a genuine comfort working with low-tech-savvy audiences
Willing and excited to do on-ground field research, with up to ~20% travel to partner states
