Build and ship AI features across our entire product suite, including our core legal outcome prediction engine
Architect scalable TypeScript solutions for complex legal AI problems
Pioneer internal tooling that empowers non-technical team members to contribute production code through AI-assisted development

Good grasp of ML/AI concepts and architectures
Location & Authorization
Must be based in or willing to relocate to the San Francisco Bay Area
US work authorization required (OPT acceptable)
Ideal Candidate
You see AI coding tools not as shortcuts, but as force multipliers that require skilled engineering judgment. You\'re excited about empowering non-developers to contribute meaningful code. You thrive in a collaborative, no-silos environment where everyone touches everything. You want to be part of a small team where your contributions directly shape both the product and how we build it.
