About the Role
We’re hiring a Full Stack Engineer to build and scale end-to-end web applications across our platform. This role sits at the intersection of product, infrastructure, and applied AI, working closely with a small, fast-moving team to ship features that directly impact customers.
You’ll own development across the stack: from frontend interfaces to backend APIs, data models, and external integrations. The environment is highly iterative, with a strong bias toward shipping, learning, and refining quickly. If you enjoy operating with autonomy, working on ambiguous problems, and building systems from first principles, this role is a strong fit.
What You’ll Do
- Build and maintain full-stack features across frontend (React) and backend (TypeScript APIs)
- Design and implement scalable data models using NoSQL databases
- Integrate third-party services (e.g., APIs, auth, payments, document systems)
- Work with AI coding tools and agent-driven workflows to accelerate development
- Own features end-to-end, from initial concept through deployment and iteration
- Collaborate closely with product and design to translate requirements into shipped functionality
- Improve system performance, reliability, and developer experience over time
- Contribute to architectural decisions as the platform evolves
Qualifications
- 2–5 years of experience building production-grade web applications (excluding internships)
- Strong proficiency in TypeScript and modern React frameworks
- Experience designing and working with APIs and distributed systems
- Familiarity with NoSQL databases and flexible data modeling patterns
- Comfort using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., code generation, copilots, agents)
- Experience in a startup or high-velocity environment preferred
- Ability to operate independently and take ownership of ambiguous problems
- Strong product intuition and focus on delivering user value
Technology
We build our own proprietary legal AI for our legal team, and then give it to our customers to run their legal operations.
