Founding Patent Engineer

New York, Stockholm
Full-time
Visa Sponsorship

About the role

We're hiring a patent professional who wants to shape the future of their field, not just practice in it. You'll be the domain authority inside the company: the person who knows what "good" looks like and makes sure our AI meets that bar. You'll lead the domain side of customer engagements with top IP firms and Fortune 500 IP teams, turn real litigation workflows into product, and work directly with engineering to improve how our agents reason about claims, prior art, and infringement.

What you will do

  • Join enterprise demos and pilots as the domain expert
  • Onboard customers: train teams, configure workflows, ensure first-week value
  • Set and enforce the quality standard for AI-generated analysis - claim charts, prior art mappings, infringement assessments - against the bar you know from practice
  • Translate what patent professionals need under real pressure into product decisions and feature priorities
  • Work with engineering to improve how our agents reason about claims, prior art, and infringement

What we are looking for

  • 2+ years of patent experience - litigation and invalidity experience is a plus, but we value anyone who has done serious patent work and knows what quality looks like
  • Have personally drafted claim charts and conducted prior art searches
  • Curious about AI and ready to be hands-on in shaping how it handles the work you have been doing manually
  • You want ownership and impact, not billable hours
