Lead AI Engineer

About the Role

Join an early-stage team building AI-powered contract intelligence software for enterprise legal workflows. As a senior, hands-on engineer, you will help shape the product and its technical direction, building customer-facing agentic systems from end to end.

What You'll Do

• Architect, develop, and own the user-facing application across front-end and back-end systems.

• Build and ship production agentic workflows that use tools and orchestration to solve complex contract-related problems.

• Collaborate with engineering, product, and design partners to deliver product capabilities.

• Drive technical strategy, roadmaps, engineering practices, and measures of team success.

• Take ownership of technical projects and contribute to product decisions in a fast-changing environment.

What We're Looking For

• At least 8 years of software engineering experience, including 6 or more years building AI products professionally.

• Experience at an early-stage SaaS startup and a track record of owning software development end to end in a small team.

• Have shipped customer-facing, multi-step agentic products to production, using tool-calling and orchestration frameworks.

• Strong proficiency in Python, SQL or Postgres, and JavaScript, React, or a modern front-end framework, with experience across multiple programming languages.

• Experience with databases, CI/CD, Git, containers, Kubernetes, and at least one major cloud platform.

• A computer science degree and experience across multiple AI domains; LLM evaluation, monitoring, or model training experience is also relevant.

• Comfort working through ambiguous, challenging problems and using AI coding tools in day-to-day development.
