About Intelligent Legal Solutions (ILS)

At Intelligent Legal Solutions (ILS), we’re transforming how fund formation and private equity legal work gets done. Our flagship product, ProVision, is a legal tech SaaS platform that streamlines fund documentation and workflows for law firms and institutional fund managers.

We’re still early, but we have a clear product-market fit, a deep understanding of our buyers, and an ambitious roadmap. We operate at the intersection of legal, private equity, and workflow automation, and we’re building the go-to platform for fund formation teams globally.

This is a rare opportunity to join a lean, high-calibre team that is seeing significant traction in the marketplace. The bar is high, the work is hands-on, and the impact on the company’s growth, brand, and revenue will be direct and visible.

We move fast, take ownership, and stay close to our customers. We value clear thinking, simplicity over complexity. If you want to do the best work of your career in legal tech, we’d love to build with you.

About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Front-End Developer to lead the design and implementation of ProVision’s user interface. You’ll own the client-side experience end-to-end - crafting performant, elegant, and maintainable React applications that empower lawyers and fund managers to work more efficiently.

The successful candidate will collaborate closely with Product Managers, UX Designers, and Backend Engineers from decomposition through delivery, building highly usable, accessible, and responsive UI that meets enterprise standards. They will share ownership of the agreements with the back-end - helping define them upfront and making sure they hold up all the way to delivery.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Build and maintain complex React 18 applications using TypeScript, Redux Toolkit, Ant Design, and Vite.
• Translate product and UX designs into pixel-perfect, performant front-end components.
• Integrate REST APIs and WebSockets for dynamic data interactions with the Django backend.
• Drive UI/UX consistency, accessibility (WCAG), and cross-browser performance.
• Implement robust front-end testing (Jest/Vitest, React Testing Library, Storybook).
• Participate in Agile ceremonies and collaborate closely with backend and QA teams.
• Contribute to front-end architecture decisions, component libraries, and developer tooling.
• Conduct code reviews, promote clean coding standards, and mentor junior developers.
• Work with the back-end team and the FE Tech Lead from the decomposition stage: shape the agreements, split epics into deliverable front-end slices, and surface integration risks at refinement rather than at code review.

Must-Have Requirements

• 7+ years of proven experience as a Front-End or Full-Stack Developer in a modern SaaS environment.
• Deep expertise in React 18, TypeScript, Redux Toolkit, RTK Query, Vite, and Ant Design.
• Strong understanding of state management, asynchronous data flows, and modern UI patterns.
• Experience integrating RESTful APIs and WebSocket endpoints.
• Proficiency in Git, CI/CD pipelines, and Agile delivery.
• Strong debugging and performance optimisation skills for large-scale React apps.
• English at B2+ level, sufficient for daily communication with the team.

Preferred Requirements

• Familiarity with Python/Django backends and REST API design.
• Experience with Storybook, ESLint, Prettier, and front-end build optimisation.
• Exposure to AWS CloudFront, S3, and CI/CD deployment workflows.
• Understanding of authentication (JWT/OAuth2) and role-based access patterns.
• Knowledge of data-rich interfaces and document-centric UIs (tables, nested forms, editors).

Personal Attributes

• Detail-oriented engineer with a passion for exceptional UX.
• Collaborative team player comfortable in multi-disciplinary Agile teams.
• Proactive and resourceful problem-solver.
• Committed to quality, scalability, and continuous improvement.
• Communicates early and in writing - raises contract and scope questions at refinement, not after the code is written.

How We Work

• We work in Scrum, with several development teams working on the same platform.
• All requirements are well described by QA and BA in Jira/Confluence.
• Development is highly supported by AI tooling with mandatory human review.
• The architect supports architectural decisions and oversees system consistency.
• Manual and automated QA to ensure regression is not introduced.
• Multitenant, scheduled releases, handled by the Delivery team.
• Front-end and back-end work as separate teams, but against one shared agreement.
