Frontend Engineer

About the role

We're looking for a Frontend Engineer who combines strong technical expertise with a deep appreciation for well-crafted UIs and seamless user experiences. You'll be instrumental in building the features that make our powerful product feel intuitive and delightful to use.

Our users, legal professionals, operate under pressure and deal with high-stakes knowledge. Your mission is to build experiences that reduce cognitive load, guide users to the information they need, and help them fully leverage our product's capabilities.

You'll collaborate closely with our product team to translate vision into reality. This role goes beyond implementation. We value engineers who contribute strategic thinking about how features should work, not just how they should be built. Attention to detail matters here, from structure and architecture to animations and micro-interactions.

You'll have significant ownership over frontend architecture decisions and a real opportunity to shape how we build our product as we scale. This is a hands-on role where you'll write and ship production code daily, but also one where your voice matters in product discussions, architectural decisions, and the evolution of our design system.

We're looking for someone who brings both humility and strong opinions, someone who can advocate for their ideas while remaining open to feedback and different perspectives.

Your responsibilities will include

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable, performant frontend code in a production environment, ensuring high code quality, reusability, and long-term maintainability

• Contribute to the frontend architecture and ensure that it scales

• Review code and contribute to a high standard of code quality and maintainability

• Participate in agile development processes

• Collaborate with product, design, and other engineers to create, design, and translate product vision into implementation

• Stay up to date with the latest industry trends and technologies

• Ensure UI decisions prioritize usability, accessibility, and reduced cognitive load for end users

• Contribute to the evolution of the design system

• Write tests and monitor frontend performance to ensure a reliable, fast experience

• Proactively identify areas for improvement and contribute ideas beyond your immediate scope
  

You're a great fit if you

• Have 4+ years of experience building and maintaining production applications with real end users using modern frontend frameworks (we're using React)

• Love creating consistent and enjoyable user experiences that guide users through legal research, document analysis, and workflow automation, delighting them at every interaction

• Have solid TypeScript experience, are comfortable with generics, type inference, and building type-safe components

• Have a sharp eye for pixel-perfect UIs and smooth micro-interactions that convey meaning and bring designs to life

• Demonstrate strong communication skills, can clearly articulate technical and visual decisions, and enjoy in-depth discussions with other team members

• Enjoy collaborating closely with the product team, understanding their vision, and elevating it by crafting user experiences that are both beautiful and functional

Bonus points for

• Experience with NextJS in production, including server-side rendering strategies, caching, and route architecture

• Familiarity with Figma and design handoff workflows

• Accessibility experience that ensures our product works for all user groups

• Experience leading frontend initiatives or mentoring other developers
