Job description

Company Overview

At Eve, we’re redefining what’s possible in legal technology. Our mission is to empower plaintiff law firms with AI-driven solutions that elevate how they operate, serve clients, and grow. We believe the future of law will be built by “AI-Native Law Firms” — firms that are managed, scaled, and optimized by intelligent systems rather than manual processes and endless administrative work. Eve’s technology augments the capabilities of attorneys across every stage of a case — from intake and document review to strategy and settlement — so they can focus on what truly matters: achieving the best outcomes for their clients. Our vision is simple yet transformative: enable every firm to operate at its highest potential through the power of AI.

Why Join Eve

• Product‑market fit: Eve is used by over 550 law firms, and we’re growing fast
• Backed by top investors: We’ve raised over $160M from world‑class partners including Spark Capital, Andreessen Horowitz (A16z), Menlo Ventures, and Lightspeed
• Built by a world‑class team: Engineers, designers, and operators from places like Scale, Meta, Airbnb, Cruise, Square, Rubrik, and Lyft are building Eve from the ground up
• AI‑Native from day one: We’re on the bleeding edge of AI, collaborating directly with teams at OpenAI and Anthropic to build best‑in‑class AI workflows tailored for legal work
• Explosive growth: We are growing 2X revenue Quarter over Quarter

What You Will Accomplish

• Architect the future: Shape Eve's core platform, from infrastructure and reliability to AI‑powered experiences used daily by hundreds of law firms. Deliver high‑quality releases, drive increased value and ensure reliability, availability, and scalability for our growing customer base.
• Drive product and technical strategy: Partner with Product, Design, and Engineering teams to turn ambitious ideas into scalable, customer‑loved products.
• Hire and develop world‑class talent: Recruit, mentor, and grow exceptional engineers and managers. Foster a culture where speed and quality coexist.
• Scale engineering at startup speed: Lead multiple high‑performing teams building Eve's most critical systems.
• Raise the bar for excellence: Build the systems, frameworks, and culture that enable a fast‑growing organization to ship with precision and confidence.
• Be a multiplier: Create conditions for teams to move faster with autonomy, ownership, and clarity.

What We Are Looking For

• Proven track record in a high‑growth startup or similar environment, plus the ability to dive in and be hands‑on if necessary.
• Deep technical expertise in system design, reliability, or large‑scale product engineering.
• Bonus: Agentic systems or more AI‑native product building experience.
• Builder mindset: Comfortable diving into technical details when needed, but focused on creating leverage and clarity for others.
• A leader who knows when to coach, intervene, or move out of the way, enabling engineers to operate with ownership and pride.
• Strong product and business intuition: You care as much about what we build as how we build it.
• Passion for AI‑driven products and a desire to help shape how this technology transforms an entire industry.
