About the role
We're looking for a Founding Engineer to join a 4–5 person team building AI infrastructure for trial attorneys. You'll own frontend craft for the primary AI interface and go deep on agent architecture — orchestrators, sub-agents, tool-use patterns, and the eval loops that keep AI output reliable enough to hold up in a courtroom. This is a high-ownership, high-range role where you'll move between polished UX work and core agent infrastructure, often in the same week.
Responsibilities
- Build and ship features across the entire stack — frontend (React, Next.js, TypeScript), backend, and AI systems — often within the same day
- Take full ownership of third-party integrations (Clio, iManage, Salesforce, and others) from scoping to deployment
- Work closely with a small team of 3 full-stack engineers and 2 data engineers to optimize system stability and performance
- Develop and maintain AI-powered features including document extraction, agent orchestration, RAG pipelines, and anti-hallucination scaffolding built for litigation attorneys
- Contribute to backend optimization and system upgrades to improve reliability at scale
- Move fast when issues arise — this is a startup where adaptability and urgency are part of the job
