Vue.js Frontend Software Developer Lead at Avvoka

Worldwide

<h2><strong>We’re Avvoka</strong></h2><p>We build drafting technology that's transforming the way the world contracts - our platform helps legal teams move faster through contracts using automation and AI, without taking judgement away from the lawyers in control. We believe technology should amplify expertise, not replace it.</p><p>Avvoka is trusted by over 20% of the AmLaw 100 law firms, global banks and enterprises, and we've grown largely through product strength. With headcount and revenue contuining to scale rapidly year on year, we're now moving from a product-led path into a globally recognised legal-tech brand.</p><p>We're at an inflection point: evolving how the world's most sophisticated legal teams work — and building a company where thoughtful people can do the best work of their careers.</p><h2> <strong>Why join us</strong><span> </span> </h2><p>This role is a chance to own the frontend quality bar for a product that legal teams rely on every day — where clarity, speed, and trust matter. You’ll lead how we build and evolve our Vue.js application: shaping patterns, performance, accessibility, and developer experience, while still being hands-on in the code.</p><p>You’ll work with a tight, pragmatic product and engineering group that cares about craft and outcomes, not theatre. We move quickly, but we don’t ship chaos — you’ll help us build a frontend that scales with our customer base and keeps our UI simple even as workflows get more powerful.</p><p>At Avvoka, you’re building in a space that’s changing fast. Legal teams are adopting automation and AI, but they still need control, auditability, and great UX. If you enjoy turning complexity into calm, intuitive experiences — you’ll have real impact here.</p><h2><strong>Role details</strong></h2><p><strong>Department:

composition.</p></li> <li><p>Make key calls on how we evolve our UI foundations (design system, component library, patterns) to scale safely.</p></li> <li><p>Keep the engineering experience strong: tooling, local dev speed, CI stability, and maintainable conventions.</p></li> </ul><h3>Build product experiences that users trust</h3><ul> <li><p>Deliver high-quality features end-to-end in a complex, workflow-heavy application (drafting, review, collaboration, automation).</p></li> <li><p>Raise the bar on performance, accessibility, and UX polish — especially in high-usage, high-stakes screens.</p></li> <li><p>Collaborate with Product and Design to turn ambiguous problems into simple, testable solutions.</p></li> </ul><h3>Improve quality, reliability, and release confidence</h3><ul>

product work predictably (e.g. delivered N major features per quarter, reduced cycle time by X%).</p></li> <li><p>Raised team quality and consistency (e.g. introduced patterns/testing that reduced

structure, patterns, state management, and pragmatic trade-offs.</p></li> <li><p>Comfort working closely with Product/Design — translating messy requirements into clean execution.</p></li> <li><p>A quality mindset: performance, accessibility, and maintainability are part of “done”.</p></li> <li><p>A contractor’s operating style: clear communication, predictable delivery, and ownership of outcomes.</p></li> </ul><p><strong>Bonus points if:</strong></p><ul> <li><p>You’ve built workflow-heavy B2B products (permissions, complex forms, collaborative UI, or document-like experiences).</p></li> <li><p>You’ve led a migration (e.g. Vue 2 → Vue 3, legacy state → modern state, webpack → Vite).</p></li> <li><p>You’ve worked with a design system and helped teams adopt it
