Full Stack Product Engineer in London

Norton Rose Fulbright is a global law firm with more than 3,000 lawyers advising clients across locations in the United States, Europe, Canada, Latin America, Asia, Australia, Africa and the Middle East. We provide a full scope of legal services to the world’s preeminent corporations and financial institutions. Our vision is to be a world class business, profitable, ambitious, cooperative and considerate, supporting our clients and people through our global business principles of Quality, Unity and Integrity.

We are building a new R&D capability focused on developing data-driven and AI-enabled products for legal services and the wider business of law. The Full-Stack Product Engineer will own the user-facing applications through which lawyers and business teams use R&D products. This is a frontend-led full-stack role: you will turn complex, document- and data-heavy workflows into clear, useful and well-crafted experiences, while building the integrations and application services needed to take products from concept to controlled use.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own the frontend architecture and user experience for R&D products, from early prototype through controlled production release.
• Build accessible, responsive web applications and internal tools using modern TypeScript, React and Next.js patterns.
• Turn workflow discovery, user feedback and product requirements into simple user journeys, interfaces and technical delivery plans.
• Create intuitive experiences for AI-assisted work, including search, document review, structured outputs, evidence and citation views, workflow tasks and human-review steps.
• Apply strong visual and interaction-design judgement to hierarchy, information density, loading, empty and error states, and progressive disclosure.
• Build and maintain reusable frontend components in line with the R&D design system, partnering with product design to improve consistency and delivery speed.
• Develop application-specific APIs and integrations where needed, while using shared AI, data and platform services for common capabilities.
• Integrate approved data sources, search and retrieval services, Microsoft 365 sources, document repositories and business systems into usable workflows.
• Deploy and operate responsive React and Next.js applications in Azure, using approved hosting, environment configuration, release, monitoring, health-check and support patterns.
• Implement secure application authentication, authorisation and data-access controls using Microsoft Entra ID and approved Azure services.
• Write maintainable code with unit, integration and end-to-end test coverage; use Docker, Git, code review and CI/CD throughout delivery.
• Build and maintain application-level release processes, supporting reliable deployment, rollback, troubleshooting and continuous improvement.

Essential Skills and Experience:

• At least three years’ professional experience in full-stack software engineering, gained in a product or SaaS environment.
• Strong TypeScript and React experience, preferably including Next.js or a comparable production web framework.
• Good backend capability with Node.js, Python or comparable server-side technologies, including APIs and enterprise integrations.
• Demonstrable experience deploying and operating responsive React or Next.js applications in Azure.
• Experience implementing enterprise authentication and authorisation using Microsoft Entra ID.
• Experience integrating AI-enabled features into user-facing applications.
• A strong eye for product design and usability.
• Experience with secure coding, sensitive data, Docker, Git, automated testing and CI/CD.
