Our Mission

Role Summary:
As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll own major parts of our AI stack. You’ll prototype zero-to-one workflows, design multi-step and RAG-based pipelines, and push features into production that real attorneys use within days, not quarters. You’ll work across backend, orchestration, retrieval, and product-integrated AI systems.
Everything you ship will directly shape how legal teams review, revise, and negotiate contracts inside Word and the browser.
Responsibilities
- Own major product surfaces that rely on retrieval, structured reasoning, and multi-step AI pipelines
- Prototype, evaluate, and productionize new AI workflows for contract review, clause-level analysis, playbook enforcement, and multi-document tasks
- Improve our internal LLM orchestration layer, prompt-library, evaluation tooling, and RAG strategies
- Partner with founders and our in-house legal team to design and validate new features
- Build backend services that support multi-tenant enterprise customers and high-volume workloads
- Ship quickly: small PRs, fast iteration cycles, functional releases every week
Qualifications
- 7+ years of engineering experience
- Strong backend engineering skills and ability to build production systems end to end
- Experience shipping ML or LLM-powered products at scale
- Experience with retrieval, embeddings, experimentation, and evals
- Ability to design multi-step pipelines and agentic workflows
- Strong instincts around latency, reliability, and fallback strategies
- Ability to prototype in days and productionize in weeks
- High standards for correctness, reliability, and UX quality
- Bonus: Go, Next.js/React, Postgres/pgvector, Cloud Run, multi-provider LLM orchestration
What You'll Work On:
- Designing a multi-step agent that analyzes an entire contract, applies playbooks, generates redlines, and formats them into Word-ready output
- Improving a retrieval layer that handles 300+ page agreements or mixed corpuses of PDFs, templates, and prior negotiations
- Building a system that scores clause-level correctness using structured evaluation datasets
- Creating a streaming, long-running workflow for contract review with checkpoints, retries, and deterministic outputs
- Designing a prompt-library and golden-file test suite that guarantees consistent outputs across multiple LLM providers
