Role Summary: As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll own major parts of our AI stack. You’ll prototype zero-to-one workflows, design multi-step and RAG-based pipelines, and push features into production that real attorneys use within days, not quarters. You’ll work across backend, orchestration, retrieval, and product-integrated AI systems. Everything you ship will directly shape how legal teams review, revise, and negotiate contracts inside Word and the browser.

Qualifications 7+ years of engineering experience Strong backend engineering skills and ability to build production systems end to end Experience shipping ML or LLM-powered products at scale Experience with retrieval, embeddings, experimentation, and evals Ability to design multi-step pipelines and agentic workflows Strong instincts around latency, reliability, and fallback strategies Ability to prototype in days and productionize in weeks High standards for correctness, reliability, and UX quality
Bonus: Go, Next.js/React, Postgres/pgvector, Cloud Run, multi-provider LLM orchestration
What You'll Work On: Designing a multi-step agent that analyzes an entire contract, applies playbooks, generates redlines, and formats them into Word-ready output Improving a retrieval layer that handles 300+ page agreements or mixed corpuses of PDFs, templates, and prior negotiations Building a system that scores clause-level correctness using structured evaluation datasets Creating a streaming, long-running workflow for contract review with checkpoints, retries, and deterministic outputs Designing a prompt-library and golden-file test suite that guarantees consistent outputs across multiple LLM providers Apply Now
