Job description

About Eve
Eve is redefining legal technology for plaintiff law firms, and we're building the team that will take us there. We help firms handle more cases, recover more for clients, and grow with AI that works across every stage of a case, from intake through resolution. The next generation of great plaintiff firms will be AI-Native, and Eve is how they get there.

If you're someone who takes ownership, stays curious, and wants to build AI that's already changing how law is practiced, this is where you belong.

Overview

Product-market fit: Eve is trusted by over 1000+ law firms and growing fast. Backed by top investors with over $160M raised, and built by a world-class team of engineers, designers, and operators. AI-Native from day one, collaborating with leading AI partners to build workflows tailored for legal work. We are experiencing explosive growth, with revenue increasing quarter over quarter.

What You Will Accomplish

As a Senior Engineering Leader, you’ll be responsible for the platform engineering organization—leading and scaling high-impact engineering teams that enable Eve’s Applied AI products. This includes integrations, ingestion pipelines and infrastructure that supports all critical applications. You’ll combine technical depth, product intuition, and organizational leadership to drive the roadmap, execution, and quality across Eve’s product surface area.

• Build the platform foundation for AI-native legal work: Own the job framework, data platform, ingestion systems, and retrieval infrastructure that power Eve’s AI workflows, including OCR, transcription, structured extraction, vector stores, search, and scalable document processing.
• 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 leading multiple teams or managers in a high-growth startup or similar environment.
• 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.

Final compensation will be determined based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to relevant experience, skills, interview performance, and the scope and level of the role and candidate.
