Founding Product Engineer
About the Role
Join an early-stage legal technology team as a Founding Product Engineer, building core software that helps transform how legal work gets done. You will work closely with attorneys and AI engineers to turn real-world legal workflows into reliable, production-ready products, while helping establish engineering practices as the team grows.
What You'll Do
Build and own full-stack product features, from data models and backend systems to interfaces used by attorneys and clients.
Partner with attorneys and AI engineers to translate legal workflows and review playbooks into software.
Make pragmatic architecture and tooling decisions that support rapid development and future growth.
Write maintainable code, support production reliability, and take ownership of features through deployment and ongoing use.
Contribute to engineering culture, standards, and hiring as the team expands.
What We're Looking For
One to three years of experience building and shipping production software, ideally at an early-stage company or as a founder.
Full-stack development skills, including TypeScript and React, a modern backend stack, and relational databases.
Hands-on experience building with AI or large language models, professionally or through personal projects.
Experience owning features end to end, building data models and user-facing interfaces, and making sound engineering trade-offs under time constraints.
Strong product judgment, communication skills, and comfort working with ambiguity in a fast-moving, high-ownership environment.
Legal technology, contract management, document processing, or experience working directly with domain experts is helpful.
Compensation & Benefits
Salary range: $140,000 to $180,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is not available.
Location
On-site in San Francisco, California, with an in-person schedule of six days per week.
