About the company

The client is building an AI-native platform for modern law firms.


Legal work is evolving rapidly, but much of the industry's workflow continues to rely on fragmented software and manual processes. The team is building an intelligent platform that helps law firms streamline work across the entire legal lifecycle, including document screening, drafting, filing, research, compliance, and other high-value legal workflows.

Their founding team combines deep expertise across both law and technology, giving us a unique perspective on how AI can fundamentally reshape legal operations while maintaining the precision and reliability that the profession demands.


We're looking for engineers who want to build products from first principles, move quickly, and help define the future of AI in legal technology.


About the role

We're hiring a Lead Engineer to help build the core platform from the ground up.


This is a high-ownership role. You'll work across backend systems, AI infrastructure, product architecture, and deployment, collaborating directly with the founders to design and ship features that reach customers quickly.


If you enjoy solving hard engineering problems, shipping fast, and working in a small, ambitious team, we'd like to talk.


What You'll Build

  • AI-powered legal workflows for law firms
  • Agentic systems for drafting, screening, and legal document analysis
  • Reliable backend services and APIs
  • Retrieval and knowledge systems for legal intelligence
  • Evaluation pipelines to improve AI quality and reliability
  • Internal developer tooling and scalable platform infrastructure


What We're Looking For

  • Around 5 years or more of software engineering experience
  • Strong Proficiency in at least one backend language: Python (FastAPI or Django), or Node.js
  • Experience working with at least one database: MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, or another relational database
  • Understanding of modern AI application architecture, including concepts such as: Agentic systems AI SDKs Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Prompt engineering Evaluation frameworks (Evals)
  • Strong system design and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to ship production-quality software quickly
  • High ownership and bias toward execution
  • Comfortable learning new technologies as the product evolves


Nice to Have

  • Experience building products in Compliance, FinTech, RegTech, or LegalTech
  • Experience deploying and operating AI-powered production systems
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms and modern deployment workflows
  • Experience working in an early-stage startup
  • Experience leading teams or mentoring people


What We Value

  • High agency
  • Strong engineering fundamentals
  • Curiosity and continuous learning
  • Fast execution without compromising quality
  • Clear communication and collaborative problem solving


Why Join Us

  • You'll be joining at the earliest stage of the company and will help shape both the product and the engineering culture.
  • This is an opportunity to work directly with founders who combine legal and technical expertise, solve meaningful problems for the legal industry, and build AI systems that are used every day by legal professionals.
  • If building from zero excites you more than maintaining legacy systems, we'd love to hear from you
