Requirements
- 7+ years of professional frontend development experience building production web applications.

- Strong fundamentals in modern JavaScript (ES2020+); comfort with TypeScript or willingness to ramp up quickly.
- Solid HTML, CSS, and responsive design skills — including familiarity with modern layout techniques (Flexbox, Grid) and CSS preprocessors or utility frameworks.
- Experience consuming and integrating with REST or GraphQL APIs, including handling async state, errors, and edge cases gracefully.

- Work and Lead a small team that owns, builds, and innovates on major new and existing product features
- Coordinate with team management and quality assurance personnel on releases of new features
- 100% remote work within the United States
- Familiarity with frontend testing tools (Playwright, Jest, Vitest, Cypress, or similar) and a habit of writing tests alongside features.
- Working knowledge of Git and modern software development workflows: code review, CI/CD, branching, and Agile/Kanban delivery.
- Demonstrated attention to UI/UX quality, accessibility (WCAG basics), and frontend performance.
- Ability to work remotely and independently within the United States, and to collaborate effectively with non-technical stakeholders.
- Willingness to learn our users' challenges and understand how your work directly affects them.
- B.S. in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent professional experience
Nice to Have:
- C# / .NET experience, or familiarity with reading and integrating against a .NET-based application backend.
- Backend development experience — building and maintaining APIs, services, or database-backed business logic alongside frontend work.
- Experience with component libraries, design systems, or building shared UI infrastructure used by multiple teams.
- Familiarity with state management patterns at scale (Svelte stores, Redux, Zustand, React Query, Context patterns).
- Exposure to cloud-hosted environments (AWS) and deployment tooling (Octopus, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar).
- Familiarity with the legal tech domain or other workflow-heavy SaaS products.
- Interest in AI-assisted UX patterns and integrating LLM-powered features into the frontend.
