## About the role

The UX challenges are hard. Attorneys review hundreds of contracts with thousands of extracted provisions. Making that feel simple and trustworthy is the job.

## What they're looking for

- Design and build features end-to-end: From Figma concepts to production React components. No handoffs, no waiting, you ship the whole thing
- Own the design system: We have a component library built on Radix UI, Tailwind CSS, and tailwind-variants. You'll evolve it as the product grows
- Obsess over details: Micro-interactions, loading states, keyboard shortcuts, error messages. The small things that separate "functional" from "delightful."
- Talk to users: Our users are M&A attorneys. You'll watch them use the product, understand their workflows, and design for how they actually work, not how you think they should
