Job description

About the Role

Join an early-stage product engineering team building enterprise contract intelligence software in the legal technology sector. You will help develop a customer-facing AI product and shape its technical direction from end to end.

What You'll Do

  • Architect, build, and own the user-facing application across frontend and backend systems.

  • Develop and ship production AI agents that support complex, multi-step contract workflows.

  • Collaborate with engineering, product, and design teammates to turn product needs into reliable software.

  • Set engineering practices, contribute to technical strategy, and guide roadmaps.

  • Define and implement measures of success for the team and its products.

  • Initiate and lead technical projects in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment.

What We're Looking For

  • At least 8 years of software engineering experience, including 6 or more years building AI products professionally.

  • Experience building production software at a SaaS startup, ideally at an early or growth stage, and owning development end to end within a small team.

  • A track record shipping customer-facing, multi-step agentic products that use tools and orchestration, rather than only RAG chatbots or internal tools.

  • Strong Python and SQL/Postgres skills, plus hands-on experience with JavaScript, React, or another modern frontend framework.

  • Proficiency across multiple programming languages, with experience using databases, Git, CI/CD, and agent frameworks.

  • Exposure to Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.

  • A computer science degree and broad engineering experience across AI domains; experience with LLM monitoring, evaluation, or model training is a plus.

  • Comfort working through challenging, ambiguous problems and demonstrating career growth through sustained roles.
