- 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

- 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

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

- 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
