About The Opportunity

We're hiring on behalf of an AI-native law firm rebuilding legal services from the ground up.

Legal is a trillion-dollar industry still operating on legacy workflows. This company is changing that by embedding AI directly into how legal work gets done — enabling lawyers to focus on judgment and outcomes, not low-leverage manual work.

Backed by $9M+ funding from a tier-1 US VC, the product is already used daily by real lawyers on real cases. Its still early — and this is a chance to shape the product foundation.

The Role

This is a frontend product engineering role focused on building the user layer where trust in AI is earned.

You will translate powerful backend and agent capabilities into clear, controllable, high-trust interfaces for legal professionals.

Think:

Cursor-like environments for legal work
Agent interaction surfaces
Document review workflows
Complex, state-heavy product UX

This is not a ticket-taking frontend role — it's product engineering with strong system awareness.

What You'll Build

High-trust agent interaction interfaces (chat, actions, citations)
Document review & editing workflows (diffs, comments, apply/reject flows)
Matter views, dashboards, and workflow states
Scalable UI patterns in Next.js + TypeScript
State architectures enabling rapid feature shipping

Core Requirements

What We're Looking For

Strong hands-on experience with Next.js and TypeScript
Proven frontend product engineering experience
Experience designing scalable UI patterns
Strong state management experience
Solid understanding of backend API integration
Ability to translate product goals into user workflows

Strong Plus

Document editors, dashboards, or workflow tools
Early-stage startup experience
AI-driven or data-heavy products
Collaborative UI features (comments, multi-user states)
Legal tech or B2B SaaS exposure

Candidate Profile

You likely:

Think in systems, not just components
Care deeply about UX clarity and trust
Ship fast and iterate from real feedback
Thrive in ambiguity and early-stage environments
Are comfortable working closely with product and domain experts

What's Offered

£100k–£200k base
Meaningful equity ownership
Unlimited budget for AI coding tools
Annual offsite in Mallorca
Remote-first culture
Optional London or New York office access

Important Notes

Must work within GMT-5 to GMT+1 timezones
Must be able to travel to London every 5–6 weeks (expenses covered)
Work authorization required in country of residence

Why This Role Stands Out

True early-stage product impact — build from the ground up
AI-native product with real usage
Tight feedback loop with lawyers
Small, high-caliber engineering team
High ownership + high trust environment

If you want to shape the future of AI-driven legal workflows and build products used on real cases from day one, this role is built for you...
