Legal Engineer

About the Role

Join an early-stage legal technology team as the bridge between legal needs, customers, and product development. You will help turn legal work into polished, reliable AI-powered workflows and support clients from onboarding through ongoing use.

What You'll Do

• Map customer commercial needs into tailored legal workflows and lead platform onboarding.

• Review and validate AI-flagged legal issues across client documents and filings.

• Turn customer feedback and lawyer needs into clear product requirements for engineering.

• Improve prompts, modules, and automated workflows to make the platform more reliable.

• Build and refine legal workflows using AI tools, MCP servers, and command-line tools.

What We're Looking For

• At least 2 years of combined experience in legal practice, legal technology, law firm innovation, or an in-house legal function. Relevant experience typically ranges from 2 to 8 years.

• A legal background, such as a JD, 1 to 2 years of legal practice, or experience at a legal technology company.

• Hands-on experience building with AI tools, including AI coding assistants, MCP servers, command-line tools, or code-generation workflows. A computer science degree is not required.

• Experience translating legal needs into automated workflows, prompts, or product requirements, and the ability to spot contract issues and assess AI-generated legal work.

• A resourceful, fast-moving approach, ideally with experience in an early-stage startup or software customer onboarding and implementation.
