Role Summary:

We’re looking for a senior or staff-level frontend engineer to own core product surfaces across Word and the web app. You’ll set the bar for UI quality, drive architectural decisions, and collaborate closely with design, backend, and AI engineering.

Define and evolve the frontend architecture, component patterns, and design system

Own the UX for core workflows like redlining, clause comparison, and playbook creation

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
