About Discernis
Discernis builds AI driven document intelligence for high stakes legal work. Because our customers handle privileged and regulated matters that most cloud AI cannot touch, we run on premises and in customer controlled environments as well as in the cloud. That makes security, reliability, and reproducibility core product features, not afterthoughts. We work with AmLaw firms and enterprise legal teams where accuracy, explainability, and data control are non negotiable.
The Role
You will build the interface where legal teams actually do their work: reviewing documents, following AI generated insights back to their cited sources, and navigating large, complex matters without losing the thread. The product's credibility with lawyers lives in this UI, where clarity, speed, and trust in what is on screen matter more than flash.
What You Will Do
Build and improve the review interface where users read, search, and annotate large document sets
Implement document viewing, citation, and navigation experiences that make AI generated results easy to verify against source material
Work against well defined backend APIs, partnering closely with our backend and AI engineers
Turn complex, data dense workflows into interfaces that stay fast and legible at scale
Contribute to a component system and front end practices that keep the product consistent as it grows
Care about accessibility, performance, and handling of sensitive data in the browser
What You Bring
Professional experience building production web interfaces with a modern framework such as React
Strong JavaScript or TypeScript, HTML, and CSS fundamentals
Comfort working with REST APIs and reasoning about client side state
An eye for turning complex requirements into clear, usable interfaces
Bonus: experience with data heavy UIs such as document viewers, large tables, search results, or annotation tools
Comfort operating in a fast moving, product focused environment

What We Do
Discernis builds AI-native document-intelligence software for legal professionals handling litigation, investigations, and other high-stakes work. Its platform analyzes entire document collections—often millions of files—using cross-document analysis to surface key evidence and inform case strategy. Designed for security-sensitive customers, it can run on premises, in a customer-controlled cloud, or in hybrid environments, keeping inference within the organization rather than using third-party AI APIs.
