About The Role

A well-funded AI-powered legal tech startup (Series B) is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join their small, high-velocity team in New York City.

  • Develop and integrate large language model (LLM)-powered features to drive the core platform.
  • Contribute to a high-energy, in-person, collaborative culture focused on shipping quickly.
  • Mentor and help recruit engineers as the team scales.

What We're Looking For

Required

  • 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.
  • Background at a high-growth, venture-backed startup.
  • Willingness to work on-site in the NYC office.

Nice To Have

  • Experience with LLM integrations and AI agent workflows.
  • Demonstrated interest in legal tech or document-heavy workflows.
  • Familiarity with Go or Rust.
