Senior Frontend React Engineer

We’re building the future of legal services.

Modern Family Law, a fast-growing national law firm specializing in family law, is seeking a Senior Frontend React Engineer.

We are building a new technology product for family law, where the quality of the user experience matters because clients and attorneys will rely on it for real legal workflows. This is a greenfield build integrating enterprise systems, payments, data and AI capabilities, and the frontend architecture established in this role will support the product as it grows.

The ideal candidate is a systems builder who enjoys solving complex operational problems through thoughtful engineering and intelligent automation.

They are highly organized, technically curious, operationally minded, and energized by the opportunity to help redesign legal service delivery through scalable AI infrastructure and workflow systems.

This individual should possess the ability to:

Client application

React and TypeScript.

Build tooling

Vite.

Frontend architecture

Component architecture, application state, routing, forms, validation, error handling, and reusable design patterns.

API integration

The frontend integrates through API contracts owned by the Senior Backend API Engineer, working closely with the Senior Backend Platform Engineer on the underlying domain services and application data.

Identity and security

Role-aware experiences and secure handling of sensitive client information. Backend services are authoritative for authentication and authorization enforcement.

AI-enabled experiences

The product incorporates AI, retrieval and knowledge services. You do not need to be an ML engineer, but you should understand how to design clear, reliable interfaces around AI-enabled workflows.

Quality

Accessibility, performance, responsive behavior, browser compatibility and automated frontend testing.
