Configurable legal AI platform built for midsized firms.
The Role
As a Senior Frontend Engineer, you will build UIs using React and TypeScript, prototype product features, and develop AI workflows for legal tasks.
Summary Generated by Built In

At August, we’re building AI designed for one thing: helping law firms practice better. Unlike tools built for the AmLaw 100, our focus is on midsized firms — where efficiency, client service, and competitive advantage matter most.

Our platform helps lawyers draft, review, and analyze documents at scale, turning what used to take hours into minutes. We’re trusted by forward-thinking firms across the U.S., Australia, and Asia, and backed by leading investors (NEA, Pear VC, Stanford Law) to grow globally.

We move quickly, learn directly from clients, and believe that AI is transforming the practice of law.

The Opportunity

August is building AGI for law. Our agents mimic a lawyers’ reasoning, research, and drafting, and our workflows already outperform lawyers in third-party evaluations. We’re targeting mid-market law firms, automating their legal work and allowing them to provide our tools directly to their clients. Join August at an early stage as we scale our agents to process thousands of documents simultaneously and create outputs exceeding human-level accuracy.

As a Frontend Engineer at August, you will design and scale production-grade agents that perform legal tasks with expert-level reasoning. You’ll work closely with the founders, legal experts, and product team to deploy AI systems in high-stakes workflows used by real lawyers across the globe.

What You'll Do
  • Build intuitive and optimized UI/UX using React and TypeScript for workflows that integrate reasoning LLMs and agentic architectures.

  • Zero-to-one product development: rapidly prototype, evaluate, integrate, and test new product features in close partnership with our customers and legal team.

  • Develop new AI native workflows: implement streaming, long-running tasks, procedural UX, etc. for new AI tasks, finding the balance between state-of-the-art and pragmatism.

About You
  • 2+ years experience building production-quality frontend applications.

  • Proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript, React, and Next.js.

  • Proven ability to create polished, intuitive user interfaces with attention to detail.

  • Comfortable working at an early stage company with ownership and rapid iteration.

Why Join August
  • Founding Impact: Shape not just your role but the company.

  • Uncapped Upside: Competitive base + commission, early equity ownership.

  • Top-tier Team: Work alongside people who move fast, think clearly, and care deeply.

  • Category-Defining Work: Help build the first true AI agents for the legal profession.

  • Fast Growth: Scale your career as we scale the company.

  • Exceptional Early Traction: >4x revenue growth in the past four months.

  • Global Reach: Our clients span 4 continents and use August in multiple languages and jurisdictions

  • Frontier of Applied AI: August has access to proprietary data inaccessible to foundation model providers. We build agents to automate all challenging knowledge work.

  • Strategic investors: Backed by NEA and exceptional seed investors Pear VC and Afore Capital, August has the capital to execute

Benefits
  • 100% medical & dental insurance coverage for you

  • 401k (including employer match on contributions made while employed by Ramp)

  • Flexible PTO

  • Parental Leave

  • Centralized home-office equipment ordering for all employees
