Help us take on an $8 billion industry and rewrite the way people interact with text.<p>ABOUT CASETEXT<p>Casetext's mission is to make all the world's laws free and understandable. To do this, we have amassed an enormous database of legal texts, starting with over a million U.S. judicial opinions. A community of law professors, lawyers, law students, and citizens interested in the law are annotating these cases, adding insight and explanations.<p>Casetext is disrupting an $8 billion legal research market currently controlled by a duopoly (Westlaw and LexisNexis) that has barricaded quality legal information behind a paywall.<p>YOU<p>We are looking for a front-end engineer with design talent to help us rethink the way that people read, understand, and annotate texts.<p>Casetext is a place for lawyers and lay readers to read the law and augment it with their expertise and insight. We want you to take responsibility for its look and feel, iterating quickly on feedback and relying on your own acumen to make our user experience more lightweight, responsive, and beautiful.<p>Your mission will be to iterate quickly on Casetext's client side. We are constantly parsing feedback from our users about how to improve their experience, and you'll be working with us to answer their needs. Your watchwords will be lightweight, responsive, and beautiful. Your work will be featured not only on Casetext’s site but in publications like the Wall Street Journal through the Casetext embed tool.<p>We aren't looking for experience with a particular set of languages. Instead, you should be comfortable collaborating with other engineers on a diverse software architecture. Our stack includes technologies like AngularJS, LESS, Jade, Python, and Django. You should be able to learn new languages relatively quickly and improve the quality of your code as you go, and giving and receiving feedback constantly shouldn't bother you at all.<p>You’ll be working with engineers from Google and IBM, the president of the Stanford Law Review, and former practicing attorneys.
