About the Opportunity
Our client is rebuilding legal services from the ground up. Backed by $9M from a tier-1 US VC the team is creating a Cursor-like environment where lawyers collaborate with AI agents on real legal work.
You will join a small high-caliber engineering team growing from 2 to 5 with direct ownership over systems used daily by real lawyers.
This is a product-first backend role where reliability safety and extensibility are mission-critical.

Nice to Have
- Experience building products from zero to one or early-stage startup experience
