The market leading software we develop and support is used by more than 100,000 lawyers and their staff in small and medium sized law firms.

Working alongside our international team of passionate high achievers, you\'ll join a fast-growing technology business where things seldom stay the same for long. With more than 1000 smart, caring and ambitious 'LEAPsters' working together across Australia, Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, Poland and New Zealand, you\'ll find yourself in good company here.

Family Law is a division of LEAP Legal Software which specialises in software solutions for our Family Law vertical. This is a one-of-a-kind team paving the way for a new structure in LEAP which focuses on tailored products for specific verticals of law. This team includes experienced legal professionals, developers, designers, and client-focused operational experts. We have in-house Australian Family Lawyers who are the experts in guiding the direction that our products take, along with a mature client feedback function.

You'll join a team of Full-Stack Developers who take full ownership of their products. You\'ll own the maintenance and evolution of one of our most critical applications (written in Angular), and work on translating new ideas and concepts with a family law focus into intuitive, high-performing web applications. Working closely with your team of lawyers, product, client operations, and beyond, you\'ll help shape solutions that help family lawyers help people. The work you\'ll do initially will be 50% frontend (Angular) and 50% backend (.NET).

To make this happen, you will:

• Take ownership of the planning, design, implementation, and support of our Family Law applications.
• Work closely with our Directors and Managers to understand project requirements and translate them into actionable development tasks. You\'ll act as a bridge between product vision and technical implementation, providing insights and recommendations where necessary.
• Identify technical challenges and devise innovative solutions to overcome them, leveraging your autonomy and expertise to drive the prototyping process forward.
• Design and develop high-quality, responsive UI using Angular and other web frameworks, ensuring a seamless and engaging user experience.
• Improve the architecture of front-end components, optimising code for performance, scalability, and maintainability.
• Work closely with UX designers
• Take ownership of front-end components, driving the technical direction and setting coding standards.
• Participate in agile methodologies such as stand-ups, sprint planning and retrospectives.

• Familiarity with version control systems and collaborative development workflows.

Even better, if you

• Your work matters. Helping lawyers help people sits at the heart of everything we do. We solve real world problems that improve and support local, everyday law firms. So they can do their best work for the people in the communities they serve.
• Make an impact. You won\'t be another 'cog in the wheel\' here. We give full trust and autonomy for you to be heard, to work on big & complex projects - and to make a real difference.
