Job Details

We're building an AI-powered legal intelligence platform to reimagine the $350B enterprise legal market, one of the most underserved spaces for decades. Our team comes from Google, Meta, Airbnb, Amazon, top law firms, and startups — and we're backed by top VCs.

• Experiment with prompt engineering to connect AI capabilities into product features.
• Work directly with founders and customers, shipping fast and iterating daily.
• Example challenge: Build a “Linear‑style” legal intake system from scratch — from frontend design to backend workflows and AI‑powered automation.

What we're looking for

• 3‑7 years of experience. Early‑stage startup or ex‑founder experience is required for this role.
• Hustler mindset; comfortable in a fast‑paced, 50‑60+ hours/week startup.
• Proficient in Next.js / React / TypeScript with product sense.
• Experience collaborating closely with product designers on UI/UX.
• Familiarity with prompt engineering.
