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.

Lead development of complex, high-impact product areas across the web app and Word add-in
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
