HELP US HELP THE WORLD AGREE MORE

Juro has big ambitions: to become the go-to platform for agreeing and managing contracts globally. And we'll need help doing it.

Legal tech is on the rise, with Goldman Sachs estimating that 44% of legal tasks can be automated with generative AI. With the brand we have built and the agility of early stage we are well placed to capture this opportunity.

THE CHALLENGE

We're looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to join our Platform team.

The team’s mission is to provide resilient, scalable, stable and secure platform services on which all of Juro’s application runs seamlessly.

Day to day, you'll enhance the frontend codebase, mentor engineers, shape the technical roadmap, and oversee initiatives to boost performance and scalability. Some of the upcoming tasks and projects that you will be involved in:

- Improve the core of the frontend codebase including React routing, MobX state management, authentication, and security.

- Develop and implement best practices across the entire Frontend engineering team.

- Identify bottlenecks, performance, and scalability issues in our React application.

- Monitor the frontend part of the app, focusing on codebase quality and performance.

- Mentor and provide guidance to other frontend engineers.

- Participate in developing the technical roadmap for frontend initiatives.

- Collaborate with other frontend engineers and the Design team to develop the core of the design system.

- Enhance our frontend application build to improve its speed and implement optimisation techniques such as bundle splitting.

- Oversee and control frontend initiatives to ensure alignment with strategic goals.

- Work in a trunk-based development approach, committing code to the main branch daily, with a focus on CI/CD, robust automated testing, and quick development cycles.

WHO WE LOOK FOR

Research shows that men apply to jobs if they meet ~60% of criteria, but women and those in traditionally underrepresented groups tend to apply only if they check all boxes. If you think you have what it takes but don't meet every single point above, please still get in touch. We'd love to chat and see if you could be a great fit.

We look for people whose approach to work aligns with our values & behaviours. For this role, we particularly value:

- Mentoring: You use your technical expertise to teach others patiently, who come to you for your knowledge.

- Caring: You take responsibility for what you build because you care, and you proactively seek/give feedback to suggest improvements

- Autonomy: You learn fast and don't require a lot of supervision to work well. When you ask questions, it's to re-confirm what you work on and then continue on independently.

- Focus on results: You deliver the tasks and projects that you promise, and you don't invent new solutions if an appropriate one already exists.

On top of that, you have been part of a journey where:

- You were involved in the development of the core product features using TypeScript, Javascript, React and Node.

- You have a good understanding of and experience with native DOM API’s (e.g. drag&drop, element positioning, scrolling, etc)

- You have used any state management tools such as Redux, Flux, ReCoil, MobX (etc).

- You wrote unit and end-to-end tests using tools such as Mocha, Jest or similar.

- Bonus points if you’ve worked with Material UI and Webpack.
