Senior​/Principal Software Fullstack Engineer

At Laine, we’re building the next generation of legal tooling—a cutting‑edge AI product that turns complex drafting into a fast, guided, and secure experience. We blend thoughtful product design with modern engineering to help people and licensed lawyers work smarter, not harder. If you’re excited by high‑impact problems, a crisp product vision, and shipping real features used in the wild, you’ll feel at home here.

• Take fullstack ownership of features, developing end-to-end user experiences from the React frontend down to the Node.js backend.
• Integrate LLMs and external AI services into robust, secure, and highly usable core features.
• Improve performance, scalability, observability, and security across the platform.
• Write clean, well-tested code; contribute to design docs and lead code reviews.
• Partner closely with product and design teams to understand the "why" behind the features you build.

• A strong product mindset—you care just as much about solving the user’s problem as you do about the technical implementation.
• Solid software engineering fundamentals and a track record of shipping production systems.
