Job description

Finance & Legal · New York City · FullTime · Entry level

A Junior Counsel role typically asks for a law degree and bar admission, strong legal research and writing, and care with detail. A strong candidate can read rules closely, turn them into clear guidance, and work well with engineers and operations staff. At a company building AI agents that embed legal and regulatory rules, comfort with structured, precise legal reasoning matters.

How it fits the AI era

AI is changing legal work by drafting, summarizing and checking rules at speed, so junior lawyers spend less time on routine review. What stays human is judgment: deciding what a rule means, where it applies, and how to explain it to non lawyers. This role sits close to that shift, helping translate law into something a system can follow.

How it builds AI experience

The AI experience here comes from working alongside people who build agents that encode legal rules, learning how rules become structured logic. A candidate can build this by studying how regulation is written, trying legal research tools, and learning basic data and prompt concepts. Curiosity about how AI systems handle legal text helps.

Worth showing

• Legal research and writing
• Regulatory rule analysis
• Clear plain writing
• Careful attention to detail
• Interest in legal tech
