Applied AI Role | Agentic Systems for Legal Workflows
Remote (GMT-5 to GMT+1 overlap) | Optional hubs: London / New York
Full-time | Mid-level
Our client — AI-native LegalTech company
Travel: London every 5–6 weeks
Work Authorization
* Must be eligible to work in the UK /EU
* No visa sponsorship currently available
* Must be able to travel to London every 5–6 weeks
About the Opportunity
Our client is rebuilding legal services around AI and data. Backed by $9M+ from a tier-1 US VC, they are building a Cursor-like experience where lawyers collaborate with intelligent agents on real legal work.
You will join a small, high-caliber engineering team growing from 2 to 5, with direct ownership over agent and retrieval systems used daily by internal lawyers.
This is an engineering-first applied AI role focused on shipping reliable, production-grade systems — not just experimentation.
What You’ll Build
* Agent systems that automate legal document editing and repetitive workflows
* Retrieval pipelines that ground outputs with high-quality citations
* Deep research workflows enabling step-by-step legal investigation
* Model fine‑tuning pipelines as internal data matures
* End-to-end AI features deployed into real production environments
Tech Environment
* LLM-powered and agentic architectures
* Retrieval and search systems
* Production backend infrastructure
What They’re Looking For
* Strong production experience building AI systems in Python
* Hands‑on work with LLM-powered or agentic systems
* Proven model training or fine‑tuning experience
* Ability to translate ambiguous product goals into working systems
* Track record of shipping end‑to‑end in fast environments
Nice to Have
* Experience with vector search or hybrid retrieval
* Background in collaborative editor or document workflows
* Exposure to regulated or high‑stakes domains
* Familiarity with GCP, Postgres, or Temporal
* Experience building products from zero to one
Why This Role Stands Out
* Meaningful equity in a well‑funded early‑stage company
* Unlimited budget for AI coding tools
* Real ownership of agentic infrastructure
* Annual Mallorca offsite + regular team gatherings
* Tight feedback loop with real legal users
If you have shipped real AI systems into production and care about making agents actually reliable, our client wants to meet you...
