What are the responsibilities and job description for the Full Stack Software Engineer position at General Legal (YC26)?
The opportunity
The legal industry is broken--lawyers bill by the hour, charge enormous sums, and take forever to respond. This means that a lot of people who need legal advice don't get it. We're using AI to solve this problem. AI takes the first pass at everything our lawyers do, so that the lawyers can focus on human interaction. We're starting with negotiating commercial contracts, and will expand quickly from there to other use cases within legal. We're reimagining what a contract can be in the AI age. We're a veteran team, with one successful exit already, who've been doing deep learning in the legal space since long before ChatGPT.
Description
General Legal is seeking a software engineer who has the passion and drive to move fast, learn new things, and drive projects through to completion. This is a unique opportunity to join us at the ground level and play a foundational role in developing a platform that will set new standards for the legal industry. There will be opportunity to grow your role as the company grows, either as an independent contributor or as an engineering manager.
