In April 2021, we acquired Outlaw, which is an end-to-end, modern contract management solution that streamlines the contract lifecycle for organizations - from templated document generation to cloud-based redlining to real-time negotiation and eSigning. Unlike other contract tools, Outlaw includes an advanced proprietary word processor which enables organizations to transform existing contracts into reusable templates that are error-free and seamlessly editable with dynamic legal logic built in. We are seeking a Backend JavaScript Engineer to join Outlaw’s agile development team and continue rapidly adding new functionality to our best-in-class platform.

This job would be 80% building back-end features in NodeJS.
