What you will do

  • Embed with Legal leadership to find automation opportunities in contract review, filing drafts and subsidiary governance
  • Prototype quickly on the company's existing AI platform before recommending new builds

  • Drive adoption through walkthroughs and feedback loops

What they ask for

  • 5+ years of software engineering, shipping production systems in ambiguous, stakeholder-heavy settings
  • Hands-on experience deploying LLM applications: prompt engineering, evaluation, hallucination guardrails and human-in-the-loop design
  • Ability to embed with non-technical experts and turn their workflows into engineering requirements
  • Familiarity with legal and compliance systems: contract lifecycle management, regulatory filing workflows, entity governance and privilege-sensitive data
  • Familiarity with multi-agent orchestration, including handoffs, escalation and auditability
  • Experience in forward deployed engineering, solutions engineering or embedded technical advisory work

What they offer

  • Equity and bonus eligibility on top of base salary
  • Medical, dental, vision and 401(k) (US)
