Job description

Orbital is the AI platform for real estate legal work.

Real estate shapes the world around us: our homes, our workplaces and our cultural landmarks. It’s the infrastructure that powers everyday life and is the world's largest asset class. Yet behind every single deal, real estate and legal teams work hard to navigate decades-old complexity; manually connecting documents, hidden obligations, geo-spatial context, and multiple parties into a path forward. We connect the legal and physical record, so that path is clearer than ever before. Our mission is to make real estate transactions faster, clearer, and less manual.

Here, you'll be part of changing how the deals behind the largest asset class get transacted, and will help shape the future of real estate.

A bit about us:

• We’re building at the forefront of AI technology, without losing the deeply human expertise our clients depend on.
• Orbital is built with former practising real estate lawyers and 250+ years of combined legal expertise. We're purpose-built for the complexity of real estate: accelerating due diligence, drafting and negotiation, and deal coordination with legal-grade precision.
• We've just raised a $60m Series B, led by Brighton Park Capital, to accelerate our global expansion – $75m raised to date.
• We're trusted by 5,000+ real estate professionals, spanning UK Magic Circle and US Am Law 100 firms, to household names like M&S. Leading firms like BCLP, Orrick, Goodwin, Womble Bond Dickinson and Clifford Chance rely on Orbital to remove the busywork, freeing legal and real estate teams to focus on sharp judgment, standout client service, and closing deals faster.
• Working at Orbital means joining a bold, ambitious team, with the trust to take ownership and make a real impact from day one.

What You’ll Do:

• Build products where AI is at the core, helping engineers move faster and focus on the most interesting problems
• Own meaningful features and contribute to the foundations of Orbital’s next phase of growth
• Push the boundaries of AI by integrating frontier models into real production use cases
• Influence technical decisions and product direction to solve customer problems
• Continuously improve our engineering practices using AI tools and modern techniques

What We’re Looking For:

• Passionate about building products that transform real-world workflows
• Excited by the potential of AI and actively find ways to leverage it
• Experience building modern web applications (React, TypeScript, Next.js)
• Strong collaboration skills to work with product, engineering, and domain experts
• Eager to experiment, learn, and iterate rapidly

Benefits & Compensation:

• Competitive salary range
• Equity options in a fast-growing startup
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
• Flexible working hours and location
• Personal development budget and learning opportunities
• Free lunch on Wednesdays and Deliveroo budget for late nights
• Cycle-to-work scheme

Security is everyone’s responsibility at Orbital. We ask all team members to follow our security policies, complete regular awareness training, and handle sensitive data with care in line with ISO 27001 standards. Spot something unusual? Reporting risks or incidents quickly helps us maintain the strong culture of security and compliance we all depend on.

At Orbital, we’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. We especially welcome applications from people who are traditionally underrepresented in tech. Even if you don’t meet every single requirement, or if the right role isn’t listed yet, we’d still love to hear from you.

This hiring range is a reasonable estimate of the base pay range for this position at the time of posting. Pay is based on several factors, which may include job-related knowledge, skills, experience, and business requirements.

Everyone who works with Orbital goes through background screening before they start. It's part of how we keep Orbital secure, for the people who work here and for the client information we're trusted with.
