Role

Summary:

We’re seeking a mid‑to‑senior Frontend Engineer to help lead the development of a new greenfield application, working closely with engineering and QA to deliver high‑quality, scalable features. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in autonomous environments, collaborates well across teams, and brings a strong focus on performance, usability, and modern frontend best practices.

• Lead the architecture and innovation of the frontend, designing sophisticated, reusable component libraries and UI patterns in Svelte
• Build responsive, intuitive interfaces tailored to complex legal workflows, including real‑time collaboration, data visualization, and AI‑powered features (e.g., document summaries, case insights)
• Optimize frontend performance and scalability to handle large datasets such as case files, timelines, and analytics dashboards
• Own the complete lifecycle of major features—from gathering requirements and prototyping through implementation, testing, CI/CD deployment, and post‑launch monitoring
• Enforce engineering excellence by conducting thorough code reviews, writing comprehensive tests (unit, integration, end‑to‑end), and maintaining strong observability
• Collaborate closely with product managers, UX designers, backend engineers, and legal domain experts to translate complex user needs into elegant, high‑impact solutions
• Actively participate in cross‑team planning, design reviews, sprint ceremonies, and frontend standards discussions
• Communicate technical trade‑offs, UI decisions, and user impact clearly to both technical teams and non‑technical stakeholders, while helping shape the frontend roadmap and standards

• Proven production experience building complex, data‑intensive single‑page applications (SPAs) that handle large datasets and real‑time interactions
• Strong, demonstrable portfolio showcasing exceptional UI/UX design, responsive layouts, high performance optimization, and full accessibility compliance (e.g., WCAG)
• Solid understanding of backend integration, with bonus preference for experience consuming .NET / C# APIs
• Exposure to AI‑enhanced user interfaces, intelligent features (e.g., summaries, insights), or tools built for legal, technical, or workflow‑heavy domains
• Prior work in regulated industries or applications managing high‑stakes, sensitive data is highly valued
• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate UI decisions, user flows, and technical trade‑offs to non‑technical stakeholders and cross‑functional partners
• Growth mindset, strong collaborative approach, genuine passion for mentoring others, and proven track record of independently owning and delivering high‑impact features under tight, ambitious timelines
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field preferred—equivalent experience, certifications, or demonstrated expertise with a strong production track record considered equally

• Tackle meaningful challenges in legal tech with direct impact on thousands of users
• Work with a modern, evolving frontend stack (Svelte‑focused) alongside a robust .NET backend
• Autonomy and ownership—lead UI initiatives from concept to production
• Collaborative, supportive culture with regular learning opportunities and architecture discussions
• Competitive salary, equity, full health benefits, generous PTO, and company‑wide recharge days
