Job description
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. LOIS reads, understands, and reasons across your data to surface insight, automate complexity, and give professionals the clarity and confidence to see more, know more, and do more. 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
