Job description

About Bayshore

Bayshore builds a multi-agent compliance automation platform for enterprises. Our AI agents gather evidence, coordinate stakeholders, and drive complex reviews from intake to an auditable decision. At the core sits our legal reasoning engine, which turns legal rules and company policies into traceable, executable logic.

We work with some of the world's largest organizations, including DAX-listed and Fortune 500 companies. We're backed by Earlybird, one of Europe's leading inception funds, and are assembling an exceptional team to shape how regulated enterprises adopt AI at scale.

Our Team

We are a software company, not a law firm. 15 people across engineering, legal, and commercial, with backgrounds from Germany, Colombia, India, and Turkey. Before Bayshore, we gained work experience at RobCo, Google, BCG, and Freshfields. We work from a large loft office in Munich, close to the main station, where we also host our own events for the tech and legal tech community.

The Role

This role is for lawyers who want something more innovative: a more relevant legal profession in an AI-driven world. As a (Senior) Associate, Legal AI, you keep your legal training and add AI, product, consulting, and entrepreneurship to it. You'll work with executives at some of the world's largest companies from day one, and within weeks you own customers and projects yourself.

You don't need a technical background, but you need to understand technology and be curious how far it can go. Programming is something you'll learn at Bayshore.

What You'll Do

• Own the customer engagement
• Understand customers' processes and identify the right use cases together with them
• Analyze existing business and legal processes, policies, and regulatory requirements
• Run weekly jour fixes with customers, collect and prioritize feedback
• Plan and manage projects through to a successful overall outcome, not just individual tasks
• Turn rules into software
• Translate regulatory requirements and internal policies into automation concepts
• Codify rulesets and implement them on the Bayshore Compliance Platform
• Ensure quality before anything goes live
• Shape the product and the company
• Define product and engineering requirements together with our software engineers
• Present new features and develop presentations, manuals, and documentation
• Spot additional opportunities at the customer
• Represent Bayshore at conferences and events

What We're Looking For

• At least one completed state exam (Staatsexamen) with an excellent result; two exams are ideal. Alternatively, an outstanding degree in business law or a comparable field
• Exceptional strengths elsewhere (enterprise experience, project management, technology, legal tech, startup or consulting background) can compensate if your grades are not fully at that level
• Familiar with Claude or ChatGPT, ideally having explored how to integrate these tools into your daily work
• A solid understanding of technology, and the belief that AI can do many aspects of legal work
• High ownership, clear thinking, a preference for simplicity and shipping over talking
• Enjoy client-facing work and have the presence to hold your own with senior stakeholders
• Excellent spoken and written English; German strongly preferred
• Full-time, available as soon as possible

Nice to Have

• Programming or automation experience
• Exposure to pharma, defense, or finance
• Experience in legal tech, compliance, or consulting

What We Offer

• Responsibility from day one: customer contact from your first day, your own customers and projects within weeks
• Direct access to the top: you work with Chief Compliance Officers and other senior leaders at Global 2000 companies
• A steep learning curve: law, AI, programming, automation, product, process design, consulting, and commercial thinking in one role
• Equity from the start, growing with your responsibility
• A high-performance team that takes care of each other

How We Work

• High standards. We expect exceptional commitment and take responsibility for results: we stay on a project until the customer is satisfied.
• No hero culture. Sick is sick, vacation is vacation. Nobody should work on a laptop during time off. Customers and projects have cover, knowledge is shared, and colleagues step in for each other.
• Office-first. We work together in Munich and expect you to live here. Home office exists for sensible flexibility (a repair appointment, feeling slightly under the weather) but is not the default.
• Close team. We work, eat, and cook together, and regularly do things like surfing, padel, or high ropes courses. We also go on offsites together.
• Don't take our word for it. Ask Maria or Melanie what working at Bayshore is actually like. We'll gladly connect you.
