• Design APIs and integrations that feed data into machine-learning and NLP models.
• Work closely with data scientists and ML engineers to productionise AI features.
• Optimise performance and scalability for large-volume data processing and model inference.
• Drive engineering best practice, code quality and automation throughout the SDLC.

What we’re looking for

• Strong experience in backend .NET development — ideally with ASP.NET Core, Azure, and modern API design.
• Exposure to AI-powered applications, ML pipelines, or data-driven product environments.
• A solid grasp of distributed systems, data architecture and cloud-native patterns.
• Someone who enjoys solving complex problems and collaborating across product, AI and data teams.
• A pragmatic engineer who balances clean code with real-world delivery.

Why join them?

• Work at the intersection of AI, data and .NET engineering, shaping real-world automation products used by major legal teams.
• Flat, product-driven culture where engineers have a voice in architecture and roadmap decisions.
• Hybrid setup in New York with strong flexibility.
• Excellent growth potential — the business is scaling fast and investing heavily in AI innovation.
