We’re looking for a founding full-stack engineer to join an early-stage, high-impact startup at the intersection of AI and law. You’ll be one of the first hires, owning features end-to-end-from talking to users and scoping problems to building and iterating solutions.
If you’re excited to shape a product that’s trusted by top-tier professionals in a high-stakes environment, and want to help define both engineering culture and technical foundations, this is for you.

Collaborate directly with users to deeply understand workflows and pain points
Influence engineering best practices, product direction, and team growth
What We’re Looking For
3+ years of experience in full-stack or backend development
Proficiency with Python, TypeScript, and modern frameworks like Next.js
Strong product sense and ability to work autonomously
High attention to detail and bias for action
Excellent communication skills
Bonus: Experience or interest in legal tech or document-heavy domains
Why Join
Be part of a ground-floor team shaping a next-gen AI product
Work with real users at leading firms in a rapidly evolving industry
Backed by YC and top-tier investors
Own a meaningful equity stake
Move fast, ship often, and work on genuinely hard and impactful problems
