We are building AI-driven legal and compliance technology that will redefine how companies navigate regulation and manage compliance. Our mission is ambitious and global. With a founding team that has previously founded, scaled, and exited technology companies with billion-dollar outcomes, we’re creating something transformative and need the best minds to join us.
The RoleThis is not a traditional in-house position, but a strategic and product-focused role where your legal expertise will directly influence the technology we build. As a Legal Engineer, you will play a foundational role in shaping both our product and how we serve our customers. You’ll work at the heart of a fast-moving team to help develop a best-in-class AI product while ensuring legal integrity and professional excellence.
Key ResponsibilitiesBe a core member of the product team, acting as a subject-matter expert to ensure our product meets the highest standards. Contribute jurisdiction specific expert regulatory advice across one or more major European jurisdictions or US states. Bridge the gap between law and technology, working closely with engineers and designers in every stage of product development. This includes defining product requirements and developing training sets and evaluation metrics in collaboration engineering teams. You will also act as an expert for our first customers, gather feedback to inform product decisions, and help establish our company as a thought leader in AI and legal and compliance tech.
Who You AreYou are a hardworking and driven professional and we think you have worked 5+ years in a top-tier legal environment (e.g., leading law firm or in-house at a high-performing company), but dedication and fit matters more than tenure. We tailor our roles to the right individual. You have a strong background in advising on regulatory frameworks and navigating complex legal landscapes, with deep experience from the US, the UK, France, Germany and/or other major European jurisdictions. You are curious about new technology like AI and its intersection with legal practice, but technical expertise is not required. You thrive in high-performance environments and have a track record of delivering exceptional results. Ideally, you are based in or willing to relocate to Stockholm (with flexibility for exceptional candidates).
This is an opportunity to join a company at the ground level and have a real impact on the future of legal technology. If you're looking for a challenge that pushes the boundaries of law and AI, we'd love to hear from you.
