Legal Engineer

FluxCap | New York City or Washington, DC | Hybrid | Full-time

Help turn legal expertise into software other lawyers can use.

Strong cases should get their day in court. FluxCap helps lawyers connect the law, evidence, and strategy of a case so they can take on bigger opponents and win on the merits, regardless of the size of their team. Our initial focus is antitrust, with expansions across complex litigation.

Founded by Jonathan Kanter and Doha Mekki, former leaders of the Justice Department’s Antitrust Division, FluxCap brings together former DOJ lawyers and engineers from Palantir and Meta. We’re backed by Y Combinator, Bloomberg Beta, and other investors.

You’ll work with litigators and software engineers to shape how FluxCap helps lawyers build a case. You’ll bring litigation experience and legal judgment to product development: identifying what lawyers need, mapping out how to evaluate whether the evidence supports an argument, and testing the product’s analysis to see where it falls short.

You’ll also work directly with lawyers using FluxCap. You’ll learn how they approach their cases, help them use the product, and bring what you learn back to the team.

This role combines substantive legal analysis with building and improving software. You won’t be writing code, but you should enjoy learning new tools and working through problems with engineers.

• Work with lawyers using FluxCap to understand their cases and where the product can help.

• Develop and refine the legal guidance behind our research and case-development workflows, starting with antitrust.

• Help design tools for legal research, evidence gathering, and case strategy.

• Turn legal judgments into examples and evaluation criteria that engineers can use to improve the product.

• Test new features on realistic legal problems and give specific feedback on what works and what needs to change.

• Work with customer's counsel to configure and apply FluxCap’s platform to their work. Legal engineers do not provide legal advice or legal services to clients.

• J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school; bar admission in any U.S. jurisdiction preferred but not required.

• Experience with complex litigation, especially on the plaintiffs’ side or in government enforcement.

• Strong research and writing skills, with a sharp eye for when an argument goes beyond what the law or the record supports.

• Ability to explain your reasoning clearly to lawyers and engineers.

• Comfort working through unfamiliar problems and revising your approach as you learn.

• Curiosity about AI and an interest in improving how legal work gets done.

Antitrust, consumer protection or IP experience is especially relevant. Experience with legal technology or AI tools is helpful. Coding experience isn’t required.

• Annual base salary of $150,000-$250,000, depending on experience, plus potential equity

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance

• 401(k) with an employer match

• Company-paid life insurance and short-term disability

• Learning and professional development budget
