ABOUT THE ROLE:

Join a stealth-mode, venture-backed legal AI startup that’s transforming the future of legal operations for in-house teams. Our next-generation platform serves as a dynamic bridge between business and legal, automating triage, contract redlining, document drafting, and intelligent Q&A through customizable AI agents. With strong early traction and the backing of leading VCs, we’re on track for a major launch in Fall 2025.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Architect & Implement Scalable Systems: Lead the design, development, and deployment of core backend and full-stack architecture using React, Node.js, TypeScript/JavaScript, and GCP.
  • End-to-End Product Ownership: Drive feature delivery across the stack—from requirements gathering with founders and legal SMEs, to testing, deployment, and monitoring in production.
  • Technical Vision & Leadership: Set the engineering vision, establish best practices (code reviews, CI/CD, security), and help define our culture of technical excellence.
  • Mentorship & Team Building: Recruit, onboard, and mentor engineers; foster a collaborative and high-performance environment.
  • DevOps & Infrastructure: Oversee cloud infrastructure, optimize for scalability, performance, and reliability, and champion DevOps best practices.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with product, legal, and business stakeholders to align engineering priorities with company objectives.
  • Shape the Future: Play a foundational role in evolving into a senior leadership position (CTO, Head of Engineering) as the company scales.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS ROLE:

You’ll be instrumental in building the foundational engineering systems of a high-impact legal AI platform, surrounded by world-class technical founders. This is a rare opportunity to define architecture, shape culture, and grow into a senior leadership role—while tackling some of the most exciting challenges at the intersection of AI, SaaS, and legal technology
