Software Engineer – Frontend

LawVu is the AI-native operating system for in-house legal - the foundational layer that powers the entire legal function. Our intelligent platform connects legal intake, matters, contracts, spend, and reporting in one connected workspace, enabling legal teams to work smarter, move faster, and deliver measurable business value.

 

Trusted by leading organizations including Discord, Employment Hero, Etsy, and many more, LawVu is helping legal teams transform from reactive service providers into strategic business partners.

 

Founded in New Zealand, LawVu is a fast-growing global software company with customers and employees across North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Backed by leading venture capital firms, including Insight Partners and Airtree Ventures, we're creating a new category of LegalOS software purpose-built for modern in-house legal teams.

This is a front-end-focused Software Engineer role within our Workspace Intelligence team. You will help build AI-powered experiences that make complex legal workflows simpler, faster, and more intuitive for LawVu customers around the world.

You will work primarily with TypeScript (Angular), building scalable user interfaces, reusable components, and reliable application flows. You will work closely with Product Managers, UX Designers, QA professionals, backend engineers, and data specialists to turn customer and business needs into high-quality product experiences.

Our frontend application includes complex enterprise workflows, asynchronous data flows, REST API integrations, shared UI components, design-system patterns, and AI-powered interactions. You will contribute across the full software development lifecycle, including technical design, implementation, automated testing, troubleshooting, documentation, code review, and delivery.

This is more than a development role. It is an opportunity to deepen your frontend engineering expertise while gaining exposure to AI products, enterprise SaaS architecture, cloud-native systems, and globally used software. You will be supported by experienced Senior and Principal Engineers who are invested in your technical growth and engineering judgement. 

Specifically, you will:

• Build and evolve AI-powered user experiences using TypeScript.

• Develop reusable, maintainable standalone components and frontend patterns.

• Work extensively with RxJS, signals, asynchronous workflows, and application state.

• Integrate frontend features with REST APIs and backend services.

• Build intuitive experiences for complex legal and business workflows.

• Apply accessibility, responsive design, performance, and cross-browser best practices.

• Write and maintain automated unit, integration, and end-to-end tests.

• Participate in technical design discussions and architectural decisions.
• Review code and contribute to front-end engineering standards.

• Troubleshoot issues across development, testing, and production environments.

• Use AI coding assistants and development tools to improve engineering productivity.
• Work directly with Product, Design, QA, and Engineering stakeholders to refine solutions.

• Contribute to continuous improvements in the front-end architecture and developer experience.
