Senior Software Engineer (Frontend)

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. You’ll shape the workflows that thousands of legal teams use every day.

This is a role for someone who wants real ownership, fast iteration cycles, and broad influence inside Filevine’s most technical and user-facing product area.

Responsibilities

• 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
