About the Role:
They are looking for a Software Engineer who's passionate about building products that transform how knowledge work gets done. You'll have end-to-end ownership of features that directly impact thousands of lawyers' daily work. You’ll work directly with the founding team on building the future of legal work.
Why this role matters:
Legal teams today are drowning in work. Their platform changes that, but only if they build it right. You'll be crafting the systems that make sophisticated legal work feel simple and intuitive. Your code won't just ship features - it will fundamentally change how legal teams operate, making their work faster, smarter, and more impactful.
What you'll do:
- Design and implement full-stack features that blend elegant UX with robust backend systems.
- Architect scalable solutions across their entire tech stack (React, TypeScript, Node.js).
- Shape their technical direction, making crucial decisions about architecture and infrastructure.
- Build and optimize cloud-native systems using GCP.
- Mentor and uplift other engineers through thoughtful code reviews and knowledge sharing.
- Drive innovation in both their codebase and the legal tech industry as a whole.
Impact you'll have:
- Own mission-critical surfaces end-to-end—from API to UI—that lawyers use daily to review, draft, and advise.
- Turn customer feedback into shippable specs and ship quickly, improving quality while shrinking lead time for change.
- Raise the reliability bar (observability, testing, fallbacks) so complex AI features behave predictably in high-stakes moments.
- Help build the leading legal AI platform for in-house teams.
Required Experience:
- 5+ years of experience building production-grade web applications.
- Strong expertise in modern JavaScript/TypeScript.
- Deep understanding of React and frontend architecture.
- Experience with cloud platforms (GCP).
- Track record of designing scalable backend systems.
- History of making architectural decisions that stood the test of time.
Nice to Have:
- Experience with modern ORMs (Drizzle/Prisma) and API design.
- Knowledge of DevOps practices.
- Background in building secure, compliant systems.
- Familiarity with AI/LLM integrations.
- Experience mentoring other engineers.
- Understanding of legal tech or B2B SaaS.
The Mindset:
- Problem Solver: You come alive tackling complex challenges without obvious solutions.
- Ownership-Driven: You take initiative without needing direction and focus on outcomes.
- Continuous Learner: Your curiosity drives you to constantly level up your engineering skills.
- Startup DNA: You thrive in fast-paced environments where responsibilities evolve.
