Role
Who you are
- This U.S.-based Senior Frontend Engineer role requires 7+ years of experience to lead a small team building web applications, centered on strong Svelte/SvelteKit expertise and working knowledge of React and Vue. Key technical requirements include modern JavaScript/TypeScript, responsive CSS, API integration, and automated testing, alongside cross-functional leadership from concept to release. Bonus qualifications include .NET/C# exposure, design system experience, and interest in AI-driven UX patterns
- 7+ years of professional frontend development experience building production web applications
- Hands-on production experience with Svelte (or SvelteKit), including building reusable components and managing component state and reactivity
- Working proficiency in React, Vue — enough to read, maintain, debug, and extend existing code in both frameworks. You won't need to be an expert in either, but you should be comfortable navigating both codebases
- Strong fundamentals in modern JavaScript (ES2020+); comfort with TypeScript or willingness to ramp up quickly
- Solid HTML, CSS, and responsive design skills — including familiarity with modern layout techniques (Flexbox, Grid) and CSS preprocessors or utility frameworks
- Experience consuming and integrating with REST or GraphQL APIs, including handling async state, errors, and edge cases gracefully
- Familiarity with frontend testing tools (Playwright, Jest, Vitest, Cypress, or similar) and a habit of writing tests alongside features
- Working knowledge of Git and modern software development workflows: code review, CI/CD, branching, and Agile/Kanban delivery
- Demonstrated attention to UI/UX quality, accessibility (WCAG basics), and frontend performance
- Ability to work remotely and independently within the United States, and to collaborate effectively with non-technical stakeholders
- Willingness to learn our users' challenges and understand how your work directly affects them
- B.S. in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent professional experience
Desirable
- C# / .NET experience, or familiarity with reading and integrating against a .NET-based application backend
- Backend development experience — building and maintaining APIs, services, or database-backed business logic alongside frontend work
- Experience with component libraries, design systems, or building shared UI infrastructure used by multiple teams
- Familiarity with state management patterns at scale (Svelte stores, Redux, Zustand, React Query, Context patterns)
- Exposure to cloud-hosted environments (AWS) and deployment tooling (Octopus, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar)
- Familiarity with the legal tech domain or other workflow-heavy SaaS products
- Interest in AI-assisted UX patterns and integrating LLM-powered features into the frontend
What the job involves
- Work and Lead a small team that owns, builds, and innovates on major new and existing product features
- Coordinate with team management and quality assurance personnel on releases of new features
- 100% remote work within the United States
Our take
Law firms, corporate legal teams and government agencies are under increasing pressure to handle more work, more data and tighter timelines, all without increasing costs. As a result, demand is growing for legal technology that can automate routine tasks, organize complex information and also help laywers work faster and more accurately. AI has become a key part of this change, and today it's hard to find interest in legal tech that doesn't have AI at its core.
Filevine is a good example of how this shift is playing out, Founded in 2014, the company began as a software-as-a-service platform helping legal teams manage cases, documents, billing and payments in one place. Over time though, Filevine has expanded into what it now calls a Legal Operating Intelligence System, bringing intelligence into the full lifecycle of a legal matter. And in recent years, the focus has moved strongly toward AI, as most of the company's revenue comes from its AI products rather than from its original software.
This growth shows just how well its aligned with where the market is heading, and with $400M from major investors, it continues to expand its platform, adding AI tools that connect across legal workflows. By bringing together case management, depositions, contracts and drafting into a single system, Filevine has positioned itself as a central operating platform for modern legal teams.
