Founding Head of Engineering

About Us

We are the #1 AI lawyer for small to midsize businesses. We combine AI, our own law firm, and an expert feedback loop to deliver fast, compliant, high-quality legal work at a fraction of the cost and turnaround time of traditional firms. We grew revenue 1,500% last year.

What you will be doing:

• Take ownership of the vision and development of agentic AI.
• This is a technical leadership and hands-on role for someone who has already built agentic AI systems and has improved them while in production.
• You will own architecture and delivery, and set the engineering standard for how this work gets done.
• You will work directly with lawyers to translate legal workflows into reliable AI systems.
• You will also serve as a team lead and play a critical role in hiring, managing and scaling the AI engineering team.
• Architect expert feedback loop, agents and knowledge base
• Develop an agent architecture with a knowledge base which can be used to dynamically insert expert feedback based on user context.
• Determine the process to convert feedback from our legal team's daily operations into knowledge base updates which can rapidly improve agent performance.
• Build evaluation infrastructure - including LLM-as-a-judge evals, feedback capture and regression testing.
• Establish best practices for versioning, testing, deployment, and observability.
• Build features to gather user context while minimizing user effort (e.g., using web search and integrations like email, google drive) and using long-term and short-term memory to improve performance.
• Build tools to facilitate lawyer input into knowledge base updates, evals and other inputs to the agentic system that improve quality of results over time.
• Monitor production systems, flag and resolve bugs
• Stay on the frontier of both AI and legal AI

• Built systems with reasoning about goals, planning, tool calls and subagents
• Built context management and memory for agentic systems
• Built LLM-as-a-judge or similar evaluation frameworks
• Built expert-in-the-loop systems where domain experts continuously improve accuracy
• Experience working in an AI-native development manner using tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or similar
