About CORTO
We are CORTO, a cutting-edge software company dedicated to revolutionising the legal industry. Our mission is to empower legal practitioners with AI-driven solutions that streamline their workflow, boost productivity, and provide more efficient client service.
Our team of AI experts and engineers collaborate to develop intelligent software tailored to the unique needs of lawyers, paralegals, and legal assistants.
Our innovative AI solutions automate routine tasks, simplify document management, and enhance decision-making, allowing legal professionals to focus on what they do best—providing expert legal counsel.
We’re rapidly scaling from 80 to 150+ employees, with a highly technical workforce where around 90% of the team are developers and engineers. Working alongside our Sydney-based team of passionate high achievers, you’ll join a fast-growing technology business where things rarely stay the same for long - and if you’re smart, caring, and ambitious, you’ll be in great company.
Meet the AI Paralegal team
The AI Paralegal team is a high-energy, high-agency team which operates independently within CORTO/LEAP and has full ownership of the AI Paralegal product. We’re an all-star team of senior heavy hitters working at the bleeding edge of AI in legal practice. We operate the team like a startup and have startup-sized ambitions for growth and impact. Our work is deeply purposeful in moving the needle on access to justice in Australia, but we have a fun culture that involves lots of dinners and cocktails.
What you’ll do
As our first design hire you’ll play a key role in creating an elegant, delightful experience across multiple touch points. As the go-to for all things experience, you’ll operate more like a consultant than a cog and share ownership with the engineers in building something remarkable.
To make this happen you will
- Start from first principles to define the visual language and articulate the core design principles
- Bring it to life with tight execution and animation to make it feel world-class
- Establish new interaction paradigms for how humans work with autonomous AI
- Work closely with our customers to deeply understand their needs and come up with surprising insights
- Work closely with the engineers to workshop solutions in real time, give feedback along the way, and continuously iterate to move the metrics in the right direction
What you’ll bring
- A minimum of 5-10 year’s experience, including end-to-end projects calling the shots on the creative direction
- A portfolio with at least a few pieces of remarkable work and some war stories about what it took to create it
- The ability to own design end-to-end, from driving high-level creative direction to obsessing over pixels and everything in between
- A deep understanding of interaction design and the dynamics of working in a digital medium
- The energy and curiosity to tackle problems from first principles and come up with surprising insights and solutions
- The ability to inspire other members on the team and get them excited about your creative vision
- Legal experience is a bonus - but your superpower is product; you design first and foremost for humans so learning new domains and designing for them is in your DNA
You are the type of person who
- Likes to collaborate and doesn’t mind travelling from time to time to work face to face with the team
- Is not afraid to change your mind; you have strong beliefs weakly held
- Sees chaos and the lack of formal structure as a feature rather than a bug
- Doesn’t mind getting their hands dirty
- Feels physical pain if the experience isn’t right - but has the maturity and commercial nous to know how and when to compromise
- Is an independent thinker happy to start from nothing; in fact you probably prefer it that way
- Understands that AI is about to change everything and already has some opinions on how you think it will work
CORTO is an inclusive, people-first company committed to breaking down institutional barriers that keep people from reaching their potential. If you meet some, but not all the requirements above, we encourage you to still submit your application.
