Job description

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

LOCATION

This role is on-site in New York City. Candidates must be willing to work from the NYC office full-time.
