Posted 3 years ago
What we need:
We are looking for a talented and passionate front end engineer to help us continue to provide our customers with a powerfully simple user experience. You should be experienced with Javascript, (semantic) HTML, and (maintainable) CSS and enjoy using them to build user interfaces that solve real problems for customers. Experience with one or more Javascript frameworks like React or Angular is helpful, but what we’re really looking for is an understanding of core JS fundamentals and ability to work in any framework (we use React and Backbone). You won’t be a team of one though — you’ll be collaborating closely with other front-end engineers and our Product team (product designers and product managers) to build prototypes, and with our full stack engineers to plan and build features. We are looking for someone who is looking to make a big impact and is just as happy working in a team as they are independently.

The problem
We live in a world where data is no longer information. It’s noise. It’s multiplying by the second. It’s ALL discoverable. And it’s making legal discovery -- the process of searching and reviewing evidence for disputes and investigations -- a total nightmare: complex, insecure and extremely costly. Logikcull’s powerfully simple cloud-based software automatically organizes and culls the data noise to help quickly find the signal. That’s why it’s the go-to solution for more than 1500 in-house legal teams, law firms and government organizations who rely on it to make discovery insanely fast, affordable and secure.  

About us
Our mission is to accelerate the democratization of powerfully simple discovery software. Today, the discovery process is compromised by the explosion of data in disputes and investigations -- 97% of which is noise, completely irrelevant to the matter at hand, and making discovery ridiculously expensive. By empowering organizations of all kinds with user-friendly, self-serve software that automatically organizes and culls the noise, we’re disrupting an $80 billion dollar industry, helping ensure that people and businesses get a fair shake in our legal system, and making access to information fast and affordable for all.
