About Navys

Navys is a venture backed legal technology company building enterprise workflow software for private capital markets.

The platform replaces manual, email driven legal processes with a structured system that enables funds lawyers, GPs and LPs to execute complex transactions more efficiently. Navys is focused on real legal workflows, not generic AI tools or document summarisation, and is designed to support production grade, enterprise use cases.

Navys is building core infrastructure for how funds legal work is done, with a strong emphasis on execution, clarity and real world impact.

You will shape how lawyers and fund professionals interact with the product by building responsive, intuitive and reliable interfaces. You will work closely with design, product and backend engineering to deliver high impact features in an evolving and technically ambitious environment.

Engineering Contribution and Collaboration

• Work closely with design to deliver production ready interfaces
• Help define and establish frontend best practices, tooling and testing infrastructure
• Collaborate closely with product and engineering to align frontend delivery with broader platform priorities

Candidate Profile

• At least 3 years of experience building and shipping modern frontend applications
• Deep proficiency with Type Script and React in production environments
• Experience working with Azure based infrastructure such as Azure App Services or Azure Dev Ops
• Strong understanding of component based architecture and frontend state management
• Experience operating in fast paced startup environments with high ownership
• Strong problem solving and analytical skills
• Strong communication and collaboration abilities
• Experience with frontend testing frameworks such as Jest, Cypress or Playwright
• Familiarity with design systems and component libraries such as Storybook, Chakra UI or MUI
• Experience working on B2B enterprise software or legal tech products
• Understanding of secure frontend development practices
• Strong eye for UX, interaction design and usability

What Navys Offers

• Competitive salary plus meaningful equity at an early stage
• Ownership of core user facing product experiences
• Direct influence on frontend architecture and engineering standards
• Close collaboration with engineering leadership, product and design
• Opportunity to grow into senior frontend or broader engineering roles as the team scales
