High-Impact Backend Role | AI-Native Legal Platform
- New York / On-Site
- Full-time | Mid–Senior
- Our client — AI-native Legal Tech company
- Travel:
London every 5–6 weeks
Work Authorization
- Must be eligible to work in the USA
- No visa sponsorship currently specified
- Must be able to travel to London every 5–6 weeks
About the Opportunity
Our client is rebuilding legal services from the ground up. Backed by $9M+ from a tier-1 US VC
, the team is creating a Cursor-like environment where lawyers collaborate with AI agents on real legal work.
You will join a small, high-caliber engineering team growing from 2 to 5, with direct ownership over systems used daily by real lawyers.
This is a product-first backend role where reliability, safety, and extensibility are mission-critical.
What You'll Build
- Core product APIs powering matters, documents, chats, and permissions
- Agent-facing backend primitives enabling safe autonomous actions
- Production infrastructure focused on reliability and observability
- Systems that remain auditable, reversible, and correct in real legal workflows
Tech Environment
- Python (core backend language)
- Postgres (primary datastore)
- Cloud infrastructure (GCP preferred)
What They're Looking For
- Strong production experience with Python backend systems
- Proven API and data model design capability
- Experience translating product goals into reliable backend architecture
- Track record of owning systems end-to-end in fast environments
- Comfortable working remotely with required time zone overlap
Nice to Have
- Experience building products from zero to one or early-stage startup experience
- Experience with Postgres at scale
- Exposure to Temporal or background job systems
- Familiarity with GCP environments
- Background in collaborative or workflow-heavy SaaS
Why This Role Stands Out
- Meaningful equity in a well-funded early-stage company
- Unlimited budget for AI coding tools
- Real product ownership from day one
- Annual Mallorca offsite + regular team gatherings
- Tight feedback loop with real legal users
Early-stage, real users, real ownership — if you build backend systems that must work flawlessly in production, we'd love to meet you...
