What you can expect

A high-trust, high-impact environment with ownership over mission-critical AI systems Challenging product problems at the intersection of law, language, and intelligence A collaborative team of engineers, designers, and legal experts building something new Competitive salary, meaningful equity, and a say in shaping both product and culture
