We are seeking a skilled and motivated programmer and developer to join our technology team. This is an opportunity to become an integral part of our established AI development initiative. You will be a self‑starter, capable of working independently across the full development life cycle—from requirements gathering and design to implementation and support. You will play a pivotal role in enhancing our framework, which integrates Google’s Gemini into the core of our firm’s custom operational software—spanning everything from billing and invoicing to workflow and docketing.

If you are a developer passionate about applying AI to solve complex business problems and want to contribute to a successful, in‑flight technology project, this role is for you.

• Manage the full, iterative life cycle of new features, including requirements gathering, technical design, development, testing, and support.

• Collaborate directly with attorneys, paralegals, and administrative staff to refine workflows and deploy the next generation of AI‑powered features.
• Design, build, and deploy new modules that embed generative AI more deeply into our custom operational software.
• Write clean, maintainable, and well‑documented code, continuing our commitment to the security and integrity of sensitive firm and client data.
• Optimize and improve existing AI‑driven features based on user feedback and performance metrics.

• Proven experience building and maintaining business systems, with high proficiency in C# and the .NET Core framework.
• Strong experience with web development technologies, including ASP.NET MVC, JavaScript, and jQuery.
• Demonstrated experience working with RESTful APIs and integrating third‑party services.

To be considered, applicants must be legally authorized to access ITAR‑controlled data under applicable federal requirements (e.g., U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, or protected individuals under 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3)).

• Direct experience with large language models (LLMs) like Google Gemini, OpenAI’s GPT series, or Anthropic’s Claude.
• Experience with cloud platforms like Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
• Experience in the legal technology sector or an understanding of law firm operations.
• Database administration (DBA) experience.
• A portfolio of projects demonstrating your ability to build and deploy applications.
• A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
