Senior Frontend Engineer
August is building the future of legal work. Our agentic AI transforms how lawyers retrieve knowledge, reason through documents, and automate complex workflows — giving legal teams a massive edge.
We’re a high-energy team backed by Tier 1 VCs. In just a few months, we’ve landed law firms and have seen 4x growth last quarter— and we’re growing fast.
Founded by alumni of Wachtell Lipton, Blackstone, DoorDash, Columbia, and NYU Law, we’re in the earliest innings of a generational shift. Join us and help redefine how legal work gets done.
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.
