About the role

About the Role

Join an early-stage legal technology team as the bridge between legal, customers, and product. You will turn legal needs into reliable AI-powered workflows and help ensure customers are onboarded successfully.

What You'll Do

* Map customer commercial needs into tailored legal workflows on the platform.

* Review and validate AI-flagged legal issues for accuracy and completeness across documents and filings.

* Translate customer feedback and lawyer needs into clear product requirements for engineering.

* Improve prompts, modules, and automated workflows to make the platform more useful and reliable.

* Build and refine legal workflows using tools such as Claude, MCP servers, and CLI tools.

What We're Looking For

* At least two years of combined experience in legal practice, legal technology, law firm innovation, or an in-house legal function. Relevant experience is expected to be within the two-to-eight-year range.

* A JD or prior legal practice experience, or experience working in legal technology.

* Hands-on experience building with AI tools such as Claude, MCP servers, CLI tools, or code-generation tools; a computer science degree is not required.

* Experience translating legal needs into automated workflows, prompts, or product requirements.

* Strong contract judgment and the ability to assess AI-generated legal work for accuracy and completeness.

* Comfort working independently in a fast-moving, early-stage environment.
