What is LegalBuzz
LegalBuzz is a platform that's changing how law firms get found, trusted, and chosen in the age of AI. When people need a lawyer today, they're not just searching Google — they're asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI-powered search engines to recommend one. Most law firms have no idea this is happening, let alone how to show up in those results. That's the problem Legabuzz solves. We give law firms the tools to rank higher across both traditional search and AI platforms, turning them into the names that get recommended when it matters most. Think AI SEO, smart marketing automation, and sales tools — all built specifically for the legal industry. It's a brand new category, and we're leading it.
Alongside the core model, we design and build websites for our law firm clients — so this role spans a real, revenue-generating platform and a portfolio of live client web projects.
About the Role
Your main project is getting our custom CRM live — the platform that powers the ConveyancerPlus sales team end-to-end, from the moment a lead lands through to a confirmed, paid-up instruction.
We need someone who is confident coming into this role and managing the project end-to-end from day one. This isn't a hand-holding role. You'll take ownership of the CRM — shipping features, fixing bugs, managing releases, keeping the test suite green and the platform healthy in production and make the calls on what ships and when. You'll also take on web projects for our law firm clients alongside the core build.
If you like owning the whole thing rather than a slice of it, this is the role.
What You'll Do
- Get the custom CRM live and own it end-to-end: React/TypeScript frontend, Supabase backend, and the Stripe/Mailgun/Twilio integrations that drive the sales workflow
- Build and maintain law firm client websites: deliver and support a portfolio of web projects for our partner firms alongside the CRM
- Write and review SQL migrations, RLS policies, and Deno edge functions
- Run the release process: triage issues, prioritise the backlog, ship fixes, and verify before they go out
- Maintain and extend the Playwright E2E suite (currently 852/899 passing — get us to 100%)
- Monitor production: deploys, database health, Stripe webhooks, email/SMS deliverability
- Switch test integrations (Stripe, Twilio, Mailgun) to production keys for go-live
- Keep documentation and the internal knowledge base current
Tech Stack You'll Work With
Languages: TypeScript (frontend + edge functions, ~95% of the codebase), SQL (PostgreSQL migrations, RLS policies), JavaScript (config/scripts), HTML/CSS (Tailwind, minimal custom CSS)
Frameworks & platforms:
- React 18 + Vite 5 + Tailwind CSS + shadcn/ui
- Supabase (Postgres, Auth, Edge Functions on Deno, Storage, Realtime)
- Stripe (payments), Mailgun (email), Twilio (SMS/voice)
- Vercel (hosting), GitHub Actions (CI), Playwright (E2E tests)
Must-Have Skills
- 4+ years TypeScript / React in production
- Solid PostgreSQL — schema design, RLS, performance
- Hands-on Supabase (or equivalent BaaS) including edge functions
- Stripe Checkout + webhooks in production
- Git/GitHub PR workflow, CI/CD with GitHub Actions
- Playwright or equivalent E2E framework
- The confidence and judgement to own a live platform and multiple client website projects end-to-end, with minimal oversight
Nice-to-Have
- UK conveyancing or legal-tech domain experience (quotes, disbursements, stamp duty, Land Registry fees, BSA, leasehold rules)
- Mailgun, Twilio, Vercel production experience
- Sales CRM / pipeline product experience (pipelines, lead scoring, callbacks, nurture sequences)
- Email deliverability, merge fields, and automation triggers
How You'll Work
- 100% remote, async-first, outcome-focused — we care about what ships, not hours logged
- Standard Git/GitHub workflow: feature branch → PR → review → merge
- An internal ops dashboard for tracking tests, releases and the backlog
- Clear guardrails on test data and live service usage
