Mid Software Engineer (Frontend) (UK Remote)
Office & Dragons is a building a Transaction Development platform: helping lawyers and their clients develop bespoke contracts for complex deals (like M&A and IPOs) in a simple, rapid and scalable way. We are harnessing the power of automation, data, and machine learning to solve deeply ingrained problems within the legal industry – tedious, repetitive, work and lack of data-driven insight stemming from unavailability or inaccessibility of structured data.

We are looking for a passionate and driven Mid-Level Frontend Software Engineer to join our growing team. This is an opportunity to join a fast-growing legal tech start-up working with the world’s top law firms and backed by leading legal tech incubators. Come make a significant impact with your work, and grow your career alongside our company, all while facing intellectually stimulating challenges.
