Requirements

  • 5 + years building production React/Next.js front‑ends for high‑traffic sites.
  • Portfolio that showcases pixel‑perfect UI, thoughtful motion, and responsive behavior.
  • Fluency with TailwindCSS, Vercel, and modern web tooling
  • Hands‑on experience modeling and integrating headless CMSs (we use Sanity).
  • Clear, concise communicator who collaborates tightly with designers, PMM, and engineers.

  • Comfortable hand‑coding responsive HTML emails.
  • Proven track record of squeezing every millisecond and SEO point out of a page.

Responsibilities

  • Architect and launch new landing and product pages that convert visitors into qualified leads.
  • Prototype and release microsites and interactive demos that generate demand and educate the legal‑AI community.
  • Extend and harden the Sanity CMS schema so Marketing can publish without engineering help.

  • Design directly in code when Figma comps aren’t available; unblock yourself and others.
  • Continually evaluate and upgrade the Next.js / React / Tailwind stack for performance and DX.
  • Dive into the product repo to maintain and evolve the shared design system.
  • Tackle small in‑app features when bandwidth or urgency requires

Preferred Qualifications

  • Working knowledge of motion libraries (Framer Motion, GSAP) and WebGL/three.js.
  • Background in graphic or brand design; sharp eye for typography, grid, and composition.
  • Interest in generative design and AI‑assisted creative workflows.
