Senior Software Engineer (Frontend)

Everlaw is looking for a senior frontend software engineer who brings experience building with React+Typescript, a detail-oriented mindset, and humility in their approach. Tackling litigation with technology is a deep challenge that requires search, databases, data visualization, distributed systems, machine learning, real-time collaboration, and more. We strive to provide our users with access to all of our platform's powerful enterprise-level functionality wrapped in a best-in-class, consumer-grade interface that is intuitive and easy to use.

You'll work with autonomy across the frontend stack as a permanent member of our "Frontend Squad", but we will also encourage you to learn about our entire system and allow you to grow in areas of interest. We care about finding self-driven engineers who love their craft, write clean code, use the right tools for the job, and avoid dogma. As a result, we've been able to build sophisticated technology with a talented but relatively small team, and though our team has grown we have maintained a culture where you'll own serious features, write great software, learn a huge amount, and have a lot of fun setting your own bar. There are no sprints and no hard deadlines (!); code quality and maintainability is paramount.

Engineering is the backbone of the Everlaw Platform. We build features and functionality into the product and ensure its smooth functioning with automation and monitoring tools. We also provide data and insights to the rest of Everlaw. At our core, we like to build, and we enjoy the creative process of building software that works well, scales well, and is reliable and secure. We do this by supporting and empowering our team members to do their best work, by tackling challenging and complex engineering problems, and by nurturing and supporting each team member through mentoring, coaching, and comprehensive feedback.

At Everlaw, our mission is to promote justice by illuminating truth. Our company culture is open and vibrant and we're committed to the professional growth of our team members, offering an annual learning and development stipend and regular check-ins with managers regarding career goals. If you're looking for a place that values passion, integrity, thinking big, and a desire to learn, we'd love to hear from you! Think you're missing some of the skills and are hesitant to apply? We do not believe in the 'perfect' candidate and encourage you to apply if you feel you can bring value to our team.

This is a full-time exempt position based in our Oakland, California office with a hybrid work schedule: in office M/W/Th with the option to work from home Tu/Fr.
