Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, a leading global law firm with offices in major commercial, legal, and governmental hubs worldwide, is seeking a Knowledge Solutions Senior Developer to join our Knowledge Solutions team.
Join a small, high-impact engineering team where your work directly shapes how attorneys and business professionals access knowledge and interact with emerging AI-driven solutions across the firm. You’ll own meaningful front-end architecture decisions, shape modern React experiences, and help define how AI capabilities are surfaced through intuitive, high-quality user interfaces.
If you enjoy autonomy, clean design, and building real products (not just tickets), this role is designed for you.
This position will reside in our Philadelphia office with a hybrid in-office/remote working schedule.
Responsibilities include:
Building modern front-end applications that power internal tools, knowledge systems, and AI-driven solutions
Developing user interfaces for AI-enabled applications, including search, summarization, and intelligent workflows
Creating search-driven experiences backed by platforms such as Azure AI Search and other data services
Building SPFx web parts that support the firm’s intranet and knowledge ecosystem
Improving performance, usability, and maintainability of existing applications
What you’ll do:
Design and build modern, scalable front-end applications using React, TypeScript, and modern web frameworks.
Turn Figma designs into fast, accessible, production-quality UI.
Own front-end architecture and make key technical decisions with minimal oversight.
Build user experiences for AI-driven features such as search, recommendations, and data-rich interfaces.
Collaborate with backend developers to integrate REST and GraphQL APIs, using schema-driven development and code generation.
Build with quality by default: strong unit test coverage (Jest, React Testing Library).
Implement feature flags to enable safe releases, experimentation, and iterative delivery.
Write code that is testable, observable, and designed for long-term maintainability.
Write and maintain clean, CI/CD-ready code that supports automated testing and seamless deployment processes.
Integrate applications with Azure App Insights for monitoring and observability.
Troubleshoot and resolve complex issues across UI and integration layers.
Ensure adherence to security, accessibility (WCAG), and performance best practices.
How you’ll work:
High autonomy with real ownership of features end-to-end
Close collaboration with a small, experienced team (no heavy bureaucracy)
Pragmatic engineering: the right tools, not just trendy ones
We favor simple, modern solutions over legacy-heavy approaches where possible
Continuous improvement mindset around code quality, performance, and developer experience
Modern development & AI tooling:
Actively use AI-assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, Codex-based tools, etc.) to accelerate development
Apply strong judgment to validate and refine AI-generated code
Help evolve team practices around developer productivity and tooling
Experience and qualifications:
6–8+ years of front-end development experience
Deep expertise in JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and modern CSS
Experience building production-grade, user-facing applications
Strong experience with GraphQL and client-side integration patterns
Experience using GraphQL code generation tools
Solid understanding of API integration and data flow
Experience working in collaborative Git environments
Comfort working in Agile teams
Nice to have:
Experience with SPFx / SharePoint Online
Familiarity with feature flagging tools (LaunchDarkly, Azure App Configuration, etc.)
Experience building or contributing to design systems or component libraries
Exposure to performance tuning and front-end observability
Familiarity with authentication patterns (OAuth, MSAL)
Experience with modern build tools such as Vite
Familiarity with Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate) and integrating low-code solutions with custom-built applications
What sets you apart:
You take pride in writing clean, testable, maintainable code
You’re a fast, independent learner who picks up new tools quickly
You care about user experience, not just functionality
You’re comfortable owning problems and driving them to resolution
You communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
What you’ll get:
High-impact work used by attorneys and business professionals across the firm
Autonomy and trust to make technical decisions
Opportunity to shape front-end standards and tooling
A collaborative team that values quality over process
