Full Job Description
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.

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.


Benefits
  • Medical insurance coverage
  • Flexible PTO
  • Parental Leave
  • Centralized office equipment ordering for all employees
  • Equinox or Chelsea Piers gym membership
  • In-office perks: lunch, dinner, snacks, drinks, and more
  • Budget for intra-office travel
  • Team-building events
  • Relocation support to NYC (as needed)
