ABOUT THE ROLE

Join an early-stage legal technology team building AI-powered software for contract review and other legal workflows.

This is a high-ownership role in a fast-paced environment with an in-person, six-day workweek.

• Collaborate with attorneys and AI engineers to turn legal workflows and review practices into reliable software.

• Make pragmatic architecture and tooling decisions that support rapid delivery and future growth.

• Write maintainable, production-quality code and take responsibility for the reliability of features after launch.

• Help establish engineering standards, culture, and hiring practices as the team grows.

• Prioritize customer experience and work closely with teammates to deliver product improvements.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Three to four years of professional engineering experience, including experience building and shipping production software at an early-stage company or as a founder.

• Full-stack skills, including TypeScript and React, a modern backend stack, and relational databases.

• Hands-on experience building features with AI or large language models, professionally or through personal projects.

• Experience owning features from conception through production deployment, making sound engineering trade-offs, and building reliable systems for complex workflows.

• A completed computer science degree, strong product instincts, and the ability to work with ambiguity and minimal process.

• Legal technology, document processing, or experience working directly with domain experts is helpful.
