This is a pivotal early engineering role where you'll work closely with leadership to shape the technical foundation of the product. Visa sponsorship is available.

-
Own end-to-end product development across the stack, with a strong focus on intuitive, lawyer-facing interfaces.
-
Collaborate directly with founders to define technical priorities and establish a robust, maintainable codebase.
-
Develop and integrate large language model (LLM)-powered tools into the core platform.
-
Contribute to a high-energy, in-person engineering culture focused on shipping quickly and iterating fast.
-
Mentor junior engineers and help recruit talent as the team scales.
What We're Looking FOR
-
Must-haves:
-
3+ years of full-stack development experience.
-
Proficiency in TypeScript and Python.
-
Hands-on experience with modern frontend frameworks — React, Vue, or Svelte.
-
Experience building frontend AI tools, agents, or interfaces.
-
Prior experience at a high-growth, venture-backed startup.
-
Willingness and ability to work on-site at the NYC office.
-
Nice to have:
-
Experience with LLM integrations and building agentic workflows.
-
Demonstrated interest in AI applications within the legal or professional services space.
-
Familiarity with Go or Rust.

Salary: $250,000 – $300,000 USD annually
-
Competitive equity package
-
Visa sponsorship available
