  • Lead zero-to-one product development: rapidly prototype, assess, integrate, and test new features in close collaboration with our clients and legal experts.

  • Innovate new AI-native workflows: design streaming, long-running tasks, procedural UX, etc., for new AI functionalities while balancing cutting-edge technology with practical application.

About You

  • A minimum of 2 years of experience in developing production-quality frontend applications.

  • Expertise in JavaScript/TypeScript, React, and Next.js.

  • Demonstrated ability to create polished and intuitive user interfaces with a keen eye for detail.

  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced early-stage company environment, taking ownership, and iterating quickly.

Why Join August

  • Be part of a pioneering team that is reshaping the future of legal practice.

  • Engage in meaningful work that directly impacts the efficiency and effectiveness of law firms.

  • Enjoy a collaborative culture that values innovation, creativity, and forward-thinking solutions.
