Job description

Minimum qualifications:

• JD, LL.B., equivalent degree, or equivalent practical experience.
• 6 years of experience practicing civil law within a law firm or an in-house compliance team.

Preferred qualifications:

• Enthusiasm for moving from 1:1 client advisory work to building scalable, technology-driven systems that empower thousands of practitioners.
• Ability to deconstruct complex legal reasoning into structured logic that can inform AI behavior and user-facing audit trails.
• Ability to articulate nuanced legal requirements to technical teams and present sophisticated AI solutions clearly to legal stakeholders.
• Strong passion for the intersection of law and generative AI, with a desire to redefine the boundaries of legal tech.

About The Job

As a Legal Transformer, you will focus on the compliance legal function to help pioneer the next generation of generative AI tools designed specifically for legal. Moving away from the traditional linear model of bespoke, one-off legal advice, you will represent a paradigm shift: applying deep legal expertise to build scalable, extensible, and flexible AI-driven solutions across massive data volumes.

In this role, you will bridge the gap between compliance with legal practice and technical product development. Working alongside software developers and machine learning experts, you will help design an architecture that synthesizes tens of millions of pieces of unstructured, multi-modal data into a cohesive, real-time story. Crucially, you will ensure this platform is built with absolute auditability at its core, enabling legal professionals to see not just what determination was reached, but the precise, source-cited audit trail of why.

Artificial intelligence will be one of humanity’s most transformative inventions. At Google DeepMind, we are a pioneering AI lab with exceptional interdisciplinary teams focused on advancing AI development to solve complex global challenges and accelerate high-quality product innovation for billions of users. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery, ensuring safety and ethics are always our highest priority.

We are pushing the boundaries across multiple domains. Our global teams offer diverse learning opportunities and varied career pathways for those driven to achieve exceptional results through collective effort.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
