Meet the LEAP Web team

The LEAP Web team are building the foundational platform upon which all LEAP services will be developed and delivered.

This team of Frontend Developers are a group of proactive, creative thinkers who take pride in being technologically adaptable, skilled at troubleshooting, and using their skills to facilitate great user experiences.

To achieve key project milestones this team is expanding and we're looking for 2 mid-senior level Frontend Engineers. A key focus of this team is to replicate the functionality of LEAP Desktop onto the web version. This is a crucial project within LEAP Dev and the work you do will set the foundation for the future of our core platform. You'll work in a team of experienced Frontend Engineers who can get you up to speed quickly with the legal domain, and you'll work on a blend of bug fixes/maintaining the product and pushing new ideas and innovations.
