Context

We're working with an early stage company building an AI product for law firms. They're the "legal operating system" for startups, serving attorneys and small businesses.

You'd take over the whole codebase and build across the full stack, which is built on typescript, react, next and postgres. You'd also own the UX/UI flows, screens, and building out the design system.

You'll report directly to the founder and have core ownership over the application. The goal here is to both ship new features and maintain momentum by enhancing the build systems and deployment pipeline as the product gains more users.

About You

Roughly in order of importance:

  • You have experience with TypeScript, React and Postgres
  • You have owned the full build of a production application
  • You have built design systems and UI flows without a designer
  • You have built agent harnesses or internal dev tooling
  • You've reported directly to non-technical leads
  • You have 7+ years experience
