Accomplishing this begins with a great team that cares about our customers, our values and each other.

About the Job

MinuteBox is building a modern legal tech platform used by enterprise law firms around the world. Our product manages complex corporate entities, legal documents, and compliance workflows at scale.

We are a lean, high-output engineering team that values architectural clarity, correctness, and developer velocity. This role sits at the core of the product, spanning high-concurrency backend systems and a high-performance, fine-grained reactive frontend.

As a Full Stack Engineer, you’ll help design and build distributed systems that power mission-critical legal workflows, where performance, consistency, and reliability matter every day.

Key Responsibilities

• Performance Engineering
  • Optimize large, data-heavy user interfaces using TKO’s fine-grained observable model.
  • Eliminate unnecessary re-renders and performance overhead common in Virtual DOM frameworks.
• System Design & Development
  • Design, develop, and maintain backend services and APIs using Go and TypeScript (Bun).
  • Contribute across the full stack, from backend services to frontend architecture.
• Architectural Stewardship
  • Implement Actor-based state management and state-machine-driven workflows.
  • Build resilient, concurrent systems that manage complex legal processes with high consistency.
• Cloud Infrastructure
  • Deploy, manage, and scale services on Google Cloud Platform (Cloud Run, Firestore, BigQuery).
  • Work with Docker and CI/CD pipelines via GitHub Actions.
• AI-Augmented Development
  • Integrate AI-assisted tooling (Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini) into daily development workflows to accelerate delivery and improve quality.
• Quality & Testing
  • Maintain a high bar for correctness and reliability using Bun, Biome, and Playwright for end-to-end testing.
  • Contribute to a culture of confident, frequent shipping
    

Prerequisites

• Experience: 5+ years of professional software development experience.
• Backend Expertise: Strong proficiency in Go for building scalable, concurrent services.
• Frontend Reactivity: Deep understanding of observable-based architectures (TKO, MobX, SolidJS) and why they outperform Virtual DOM approaches at scale.
• Systems Thinking: Experience with, or strong interest in, the Actor pattern and state-machine-driven system design.
• Cloud Native: Hands-on experience with GCP (preferred) or another major cloud provider.
• Pragmatic Mindset: Comfortable navigating complex systems and choosing the right abstraction or tool for the problem at hand
  

Preferred/Nice to Have

• Experience working in Legal Tech or enterprise document management systems.
• Background in PDF manipulation or complex document processing.
• Familiarity with or contributions to open-source projects.
• Experience with the Bun and/or Biome ecosystems.
• Exposure to large, long-lived codebases with evolving architectural constraints
  

About the Role

• Permanent salaried employee
• Hybrid work environment
• Salary commensurate with experience
