About The Opportunity
We are seeking a highly experienced Senior UX/UI Developer to design and build modern, intuitive, and production-ready user interfaces for next-generation AI-enabled legal applications.
This is a unique hybrid design-and-development position requiring strong expertise in both UX/UI design and hands-on frontend engineering.
The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of designing exceptional user experiences and translating those designs into functional, scalable, and accessible web interfaces using HTML, Tailwind CSS, and Vanilla JavaScript.
The development environment emphasizes lightweight, server-rendered applications rather than heavy single-page application frameworks.
The successful candidate will contribute to sophisticated AI-assisted workflows involving document review, source-linked findings, complex data tables, approval processes, and interactive user experiences.

Frontend Development
- Develop responsive, accessible, and production-ready user interfaces using HTML, Tailwind CSS, and Vanilla JavaScript.
- Convert UI/UX designs into fully functional frontend code.
- Build user interfaces within server-rendered applications and template-based component systems.

- Integrate frontend functionality into existing enterprise applications.
- Participate in Git-based version control, code reviews, testing, and release processes.
AI-Enabled Application Interfaces
- Design and develop interfaces supporting AI-assisted legal document review.
- Build user experiences for source-linked findings and supporting evidence.
- Create complex, high-density data tables and document review screens.
- Develop interfaces for long-running processes, status tracking, and approval checkpoints.

- Ensure complex AI-generated information is presented clearly and efficiently to users.
Collaboration and Quality
- Collaborate closely with software developers, product managers, and business stakeholders.
- Participate in Agile development processes.
- Troubleshoot frontend issues and improve application usability and performance.
- Ensure interfaces follow accessibility, usability, and maintainability best practices.

- Ability to standardize and maintain a consistent design language across multiple applications.
- Experience working on AI-enabled applications and related user workflows.
- Strong analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to work effectively with engineering teams, product managers, and stakeholders.
