Staff AI Engineer, Legal Tech & Agent Systems

Finchlegal; New York (NY); Presencial; USD 180 000 - 280 000; Tempo integral

Resumo da oferta

Finch Legal in New York City is building AI-powered legal tech to automate pre-litigation workflows. As a Member of the Technical Staff, you will own critical features end-to-end, ship quickly, and collaborate closely with product, ops, and design in a codebase where your decisions matter from day one.

This full-stack role offers ownership as the product evolves, with a focus on agent design, evaluation, and observability to improve speed, reliability, and outcomes.

Qualificações

• 3+ years building reliable, secure software in production.
• Experience shipping AI-powered products or agents beyond the prototype stage.
• Experience designing practical evals and using them to understand agent behavior, compare approaches, and improve task-completion quality.
• Proficiency in Python and comfort working with React, LLM APIs, and agent frameworks.
• Strong instincts for agent design, including context construction, model selection, tool boundaries, structured outputs, failure recovery, and human handoffs.
• A track record of turning ambiguous, real-world workflows into simple, dependable systems.
• An experimental mindset: you move quickly, measure what matters, and care more about whether an agent completes the job correctly than whether the approach is clever.

Responsabilidades

• Own critical features end-to-end in a rapidly evolving product.
• Design long-horizon agent systems - including context, tools, memory, permissions, structured outputs, and human-in-the-loop controls.
• Own the eval flywheel: turn real cases and operator feedback into benchmarks that continuously improve agent quality.
• Optimize performance through model selection and routing, context engineering, prompting, tool design, and agent observability.
• Make agents reliable across calls, documents, communications, third-party portals, partial failures, and changing case information.
• Evaluate advances in agentic AI and rapidly ship the ones that improve quality, speed, or cost.
