Full Description

Remote (GMT-5 to GMT+1) | Full-time | Mid-Senior £100,000 – £200,000 + meaningful equity 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...
