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.

  • 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
