Legal Knowledge Engineer

Position Description:

We’re building the future of legal services.

Modern Family Law (“MFL”) is seeking an innovative, systems-oriented, and operationally sophisticated Legal Knowledge Engineer to help design and build the next generation of AI-native legal service delivery systems.

This role serves as the bridge between legal expertise and artificial intelligence systems. The Legal Knowledge Engineer will work closely with attorneys, product teams, developers, and AI leadership to translate legal reasoning, workflows, procedures, and institutional knowledge into scalable AI-enabled systems and operational frameworks.

The ideal candidate possesses a strong understanding of legal workflows and demonstrates the ability to structure complex legal processes into decision trees, workflow logic, prompt architectures, escalation systems, and institutional knowledge frameworks.

This role is central to MFL’s long-term strategy of building AI-assisted and AI-native legal delivery systems designed to improve accessibility, efficiency, consistency, scalability, and client experience while maintaining appropriate human oversight, ethics, and legal compliance.

The Legal Knowledge Engineer will help architect the institutional “brain” of the firm.
