Role Summary:

  • Work closely with design to set interaction patterns, reduce cognitive load, and ship polished interfaces for non-technical users
  • Collaborate with backend and AI teams to integrate LLM features with predictable, stable UX
  • Raise the engineering bar across performance, accessibility, reliability, and code quality
  • Mentor other engineers and help shape the engineering culture as the team scales
  • Partner with product and founders on roadmap strategy, scoping, and delivery
  • Qualifications

  • 6+ years of frontend engineering experience with deep expertise in React and TypeScript  
  • Strong architectural instincts and experience building complex, data-heavy, user-facing products  
  • Ability to break down ambiguous problems and drive from concept to shipped solution  
  • Track record of owning large product surfaces end-to-end  
  • High standards for UI polish, edge-case behavior, and accessibility  
  • Comfort working closely with design and product leadership 
  • Bonus: experience with Microsoft Office add-ins, LLM-powered products, or legal tech
