About this role

Filevine is forging the future of legal work with cloud-based workflow tools. We have a reputation for intuitive, streamlined technology that helps professionals manage their organization and serve their clients better. We’re also known for our team of extraordinary and passionate professionals who love working together to help organizations thrive. Our success has catapulted Filevine to the forefront of our field—we are ranked as one of the most innovative and fastest-growing technology companies in the country by both Deloitte and Inc.


Our Mission

Filevine is building the seamless intersection between legal and business by creating a world- class platform to help professionals scale.


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
