Lighthouse / Design Engineer

Role

We’re looking for a design engineer to own the frontend stack across multiple products, and craft new, beautiful interfaces for both the legal operations team and our customers.

You might be a good fit if:

• You have strong engineering skills coupled with a strong creative vision and great taste.
• You like designing powerful user interfaces without compromising on usability or aesthetics.
• Have high agency, especially for independent research.
• Want to invent new interfaces to harness large language models.
• You’ve been building great products for a while. This manifests in different ways, but most of us have been shipping products for over three years.

Culture

• Lighthouse is an engineering-led company. We get to pick/veto what we build.
• We’re a flat org with no managers (engineering or product).
• We work in bi-weekly sprints, with one meeting on Monday to check in and demos on Friday with everyone at the company. You can plan the rest of the week however you like.
• We spend a considerable chunk of time with users (the legal operations team, or customers) to find and pick what to build. Some projects our team has worked on include:
  • A real-time, collaborative text editor using CRDTs
  • A custom PDF templating and rendering engine
  • A legal "IDE" in React, Typescript
  • Finetuning LLMs
• We ship multiple times a day, with a preference for testing ideas out quickly and polishing over time.

Pay and Benefits

• We sponsor visas, obviously.
• Competitive base and equity, scales with experience.
• Health, dental, vision, 401k.
• Equipment/office stipend.
• Bi-annual team off-sites in cool places.
• In person in SF preferred, hybrid possible.
