Summary Generated by Built In
Filevine is a Legal AI company delivering Legal Operating Intelligence for the future of legal work. Grounded in a singular system of truth, Filevine brings together data, documents, workflows, and teams into one unified platform—where modern legal work happens with clarity and consistency.
 
Powered by LOIS, the Legal Operating Intelligence System, Filevine connects context across every matter to transform legal operations from reactive to proactive.

Fueled by a team of exceptional collaborators and innovators, Filevine’s rapid growth has earned AI awards and recognition from Deloitte and Inc. as one of the most innovative and fastest-growing technology companies in the country.

Role Summary:

At Filevine, we’re building the AI layer that powers contract review and drafting across the platform. Our team owns the Word-based contract-workflow experience end to end: fast redlines, playbook automation, clause-level analysis, and the UX lawyers rely on every day for high-stakes work.

We operate as a focused, senior, high-output group inside Filevine. We move quickly, ship directly into Word and the browser, and define how AI shows up across the contract lifecycle for thousands of legal teams. Design is central to everything we do. Lawyers notice every detail, and their trust depends on the quality and clarity of the experience we build.

Responsibilities

  • Talk to customers, sit in on review sessions, and map real workflows
  • Translate ambiguous product requirements into clear flows, UI patterns, and prototypes
  • Design and implement UI surfaces across Word add-ins and the web app
  • Build high-fidelity mocks that communicate ideas quickly to founders and engineers
  • Write production-quality React and TypeScript to improve UX without waiting on engineering
  • Define and maintain the design system, visual language, and interaction patterns
  • Simplify multi-step legal workflows into intuitive, compact interfaces
  • Validate ideas directly with users and iterate quickly based on feedback
  • Identify UX gaps, propose changes, and drive them from concept to shipped feature

Qualifications

  • Deep product taste and strong user empathy  
  • Experience designing for constrained interfaces (plugins, iOS, add-ins, extensions)  
  • Ability to run lightweight research: user interviews, workflow mapping, usability tests  
  • Strong frontend engineering skills in React/TypeScript  
  • Experience owning both design and engineering for a feature end to end  
  • Ability to create polished mocks and prototypes without a dedicated designer  
  • Comfort working in a fast-moving environment with incomplete inputs  
  • Bias toward action: you see something broken, you fix it  
  • Bonus: experience with AI products, legal workflows, or highly technical interfaces

What You'll Work On:

  • Redesigning the Word add-in pane to reduce vertical layers and improve action discoverability  
  • Mapping user contract-review workflows and turning them into cleaner UI flows  
  • Building a new design system that brings consistency to actions, drawers, modals, and toolbars  
  • Prototyping a small-screen version of a complex playbook editor  
  • Simplifying the view: progress bars, action bars, multi-document navigation  
  • Improving the UI/UX based on customer interviews  
  • Designing and implementing an updated clause-analysis UX with fewer steps and clearer decisions

Filevine Compensation & Benefits Highlights

The following summarizes recurring compensation and benefits themes identified from responses generated by popular LLMs to common candidate questions about Filevine and has not been reviewed or approved by Filevine.

  • Healthcare Strength Health coverage is described as covering the major bases (medical, dental, vision) and is often framed as decent quality. In some cases, premiums and copays are portrayed as relatively favorable, suggesting tangible value from the plans.
  • Parental & Family Support Paid parental leave is positioned as a standard, clearly offered benefit. The presence of parental leave alongside disability coverage signals baseline family-support provisions typical of growth-stage tech employers.
  • Fair & Transparent Compensation Compensation is sometimes framed as fair or reasonable relative to role expectations, with technical roles in particular appearing closer to market-aligned ranges. This creates pockets where pay is perceived as competitive even if not consistently top-of-market across the company.
