The role
One in three transactions in a core legal sector currently fail, with complaints disproportionately high. This firm is rebuilding that process from the ground up, operating as both a regulated legal entity and a technology company. They are not a tooling vendor, but a direct disruptor, applying AI to a deeply entrenched, high-friction industry.
You will join a small, generalist engineering team as an early member. This is a seat to shape product direction from day one, shipping features within your first week. It is not a role to execute a pre-defined backlog; you will talk to users, form hypotheses, and iterate to define what gets built, working directly with the founding engineers and reporting to the founder.
The work
- Drive product definition from user problems, not a handed-down backlog. You will own the "what" and the "why".
- Ship production features within your first week. This team moves fast, with direct impact.
- Build and scale AI agents and LLM-powered systems. This goes beyond simple prompting; expect complex workflow automation.
- Work across the full stack, with a focus on backend depth, in a TypeScript environment.
- Contribute to the foundational architecture and technical strategy of a rapidly evolving platform.
- Experience driving product direction at an early-stage startup. You define the problems, not just solve them.
- Proven ability to scale full-stack TypeScript projects in production, with significant backend depth.
- Hands-on experience building or customizing AI workflows and LLM-powered systems. You understand the underlying mechanics, not just the API.
- A user-first mindset, translating real-world problems into robust technical solutions.
- Comfort with high ownership and autonomy in a small, flat team.
This is a rare seat at an early-stage, AI-native firm tackling a complex, high-value problem. Roles like this are often oversubscribed and hard to find through traditional channels.
