Job description

An AI legal startup has passed $1m in annual recurring revenue, with demand growing faster than its team can deliver. It combines lawyers, AI and purpose-built software to provide startups with an outsourced in-house legal function.

Joining as one of the first ten hires, you’ll work directly with the CEO and CTO to turn legal expertise into products and automated workflows. There is scope to build a team as the business grows.

The role

You’ll own the quality of the platform’s legal workflows, from understanding a customer’s commercial needs to making sure the finished experience works accurately from start to finish.

That means configuring onboarding and contract workflows, checking AI outputs for legal accuracy, improving prompts and translating feedback from customers and lawyers into clear product requirements. You’ll use tools including Claude Code and workflow builders to make improvements yourself, working with engineers on more complex changes.

What you’ll bring

• Typically 3–8 years’ experience in legal practice or legal technology, with the ability to interpret contracts, spot commercial issues and validate legal outputs.
• A track record of improving legal processes through technology, whether in practice, an in-house team, law firm innovation or a legal tech product role.
• Practical experience using AI beyond basic chat, including building prompts, automations or repeatable workflows.
• Evidence of owning a workflow or product improvement from identifying the problem through implementation and testing.
• The pace and independence to deliver in a small startup team.

A JD or practising background is preferred, although substantial legal technology experience can substitute. Software engineering expertise is not required.

You must be able to work in San Francisco five days per week. Visa sponsorship is unavailable.
