Visa: Green card and visa support available
Hiring: 2 engineers

About the Role

We’re hiring a Senior Software Engineer to join a high-growth AI startup focused on building cutting-edge generative AI tools for the legal domain and beyond. As one of the first ten engineers on the team, you'll take ownership of core systems, ship high-impact features, and help shape both the technical direction and team culture from the ground up.

This is a deeply technical IC role ideal for engineers who love solving complex algorithmic problems and enjoy building elegant, production-grade software. If you want to work on real-world applications of LLMs, from contract analysis to AI agents that generate code on the fly, this is the place to do it.

What You’ll Do

  • Ship high-leverage features across the stack, from LLM-powered backend services to performant front-end interfaces

  • Own projects end-to-end—from design to deployment—in a fast-moving, startup environment

  • Work directly with founders and senior engineers to shape the product, infrastructure, and internal tools

  • Push the boundaries of generative AI with creative, pragmatic engineering solutions

What We’re Looking For

  • 3+ years of experience in full-time software development, ideally with a track record of shipping full-stack products

  • Strong CS fundamentals and a degree in Computer Science or related field

  • Experience solving technically complex problems (e.g., in AI, fintech, crypto, or other hard-tech sectors)

  • Recent hands-on engineering experience (not primarily managerial)

  • Full-stack fluency with technologies like React, Redux Toolkit, Next.js, Node.js, Firebase, PyTorch, and Azure

  • Interest or experience in working with LLMs or other AI systems

  • High velocity, strong ownership mentality, and comfort with ambiguity

Traits That Are a Strong Fit

  • Former founders or early engineers at venture-backed startups

  • Product-minded builders who enjoy writing clean code that solves real user problems

  • Comfortable working onsite 5 days a week in San Francisco

Not the Right Fit If You…

  • Are looking for remote work or part-time flexibility

  • Have outdated technical experience or limited IC work in the past 2 years

  • Rely heavily on coding bootcamp training without practical experience

Join us to help reinvent how businesses engage with contracts—and build real, production-grade AI tools that deliver impact today.
