ABOUT THE ROLE
A well-funded, Series B legaltech startup is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join their growing engineering team in New York City. This company is redefining legal services by combining AI with human expertise — helping businesses review and negotiate contracts in hours rather than days. You'll be a full-stack engineer with a frontend emphasis, building intelligent, lawyer-facing tools that power a cutting-edge contract review platform.
This is a pivotal early engineering role where you'll work closely with leadership to shape the technical foundation of the product. Visa sponsorship is available.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Design, build, and deploy scalable systems and agentic AI tools to accelerate contract review workflows.
- Own end-to-end product development across the stack, with a strong focus on intuitive, lawyer-facing interfaces.
- Collaborate directly with founders to define technical priorities and establish a robust, maintainable codebase.
- Develop and integrate large language model (LLM)-powered tools into the core platform.
- Contribute to a high-energy, in-person engineering culture focused on shipping quickly and iterating fast.
- Mentor junior engineers and help recruit talent as the team scales.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Must-haves:
- 3+ years of full-stack development experience.
- Proficiency in TypeScript and Python.
- Hands-on experience with modern frontend frameworks — React, Vue, or Svelte.
- Experience building frontend AI tools, agents, or interfaces.
- Prior experience at a high-growth, venture-backed startup.
- Willingness and ability to work on-site at the NYC office.
Nice to have:
- Experience with LLM integrations and building agentic workflows.
- Demonstrated interest in AI applications within the legal or professional services space.
- Familiarity with Go or Rust.
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
- Salary: $250,000 – $300,000 USD annually
- Competitive equity package
- Visa sponsorship available
