MEET AVANITA

Avantia Law is redefining legal services through AI-powered innovation. Since our launch in 2019, we’ve experienced exceptional growth, helping top-tier investment funds and asset managers handle routine legal and compliance work faster and more cost-efficiently.
We are powered by AI but committed to our people.
We offer a culture of trust and flexibility to employees. We have an office in London for those wishing to spend some portion of their working time with colleagues, but employees are also welcome to work predominantly remotely. We have a truly diverse workforce, with members of staff coming from all corners of the world. There are around 100 of us at Avantia, so we’re small and friendly enough for you to get to know everyone and make an impact – but big enough to offer you great career prospects.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help us build and optimise AI-powered tools that integrate with internal web applications, MS Word, and MS Outlook. You’ll work closely with senior engineers, our CTO, and stakeholders to design, build, and maintain high-quality, production-ready solutions.
This role is ideal for someone with strong experience in Python development and a good understanding of AWS. If you’re excited about working on the backend of AI-driven applications and want to gain hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure, this is a great opportunity for you!

REQUIREMENTS

• Experienced with backend development (APIs, databases, web frameworks like Flask or FastAPI).
• Proficiency with Python
• Familiarity with (or interest in) AWS services (S3, Lambda, OpenSearch).
• Eagerness to learn about DevOps practices (CI/CD, infrastructure as code, cloud security).
• A problem-solving mindset and willingness to take on new challenges.
• Start-up experience would be advantageous but not essential - you should thrive in small teams and be willing to roll your sleeves up.

• Develop and maintain backend services for internal-facing web applications.
• Build APIs that power AI-driven document processing and workflow automation for the firm’s legal tools (KYC Compliance & Contracts)
• Translate user feedback and requirements into functional production solutions
• Work with AWS services (Lambda, OpenSearch, S3) to manage and optimize our infrastructure.
• Monitor and troubleshoot production systems, ensuring reliability and performance.
