Join an early-stage team building AI-powered contract intelligence software for enterprise legal workflows. As a senior, hands-on engineer, you will help shape the product and its technical direction, building customer-facing agentic systems from end to end.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Architect, develop, and own the user-facing application across front-end and back-end systems.

• Collaborate with engineering, product, and design partners to deliver product capabilities.
• Drive technical strategy, roadmaps, engineering practices, and measures of team success.
• Take ownership of technical projects and contribute to product decisions in a fast-changing environment.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• At least 8 years of software engineering experience, including 6 or more years building AI products professionally.
• Experience at an early-stage SaaS startup and a track record of owning software development end to end in a small team.
• Have shipped customer-facing, multi-step agentic products to production, using tool-calling and orchestration frameworks.
• Strong proficiency in Python, SQL or Postgres, and JavaScript, React, or a modern front-end framework, with experience across multiple programming languages.
• Experience with databases, CI/CD, Git, containers, Kubernetes, and at least one major cloud platform.
• A computer science degree and experience across multiple AI domains; LLM evaluation, monitoring, or model training experience is also relevant.
