About the Role

A well-funded, Series B legaltech startup is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join their growing engineering team in New York City. This company is redefining legal services by combining AI with human expertise — helping businesses review and negotiate contracts in hours rather than days. You'll be a full-stack engineer with a frontend emphasis, building intelligent, lawyer-facing tools that power a cutting-edge contract review platform.

This is a pivotal early engineering role where you'll work closely with leadership to shape the technical foundation of the product. Visa sponsorship is available.

What You'll Do

  • Design, build, and deploy scalable systems and agentic AI tools to accelerate contract review workflows.

  • Own end-to-end product development across the stack, with a strong focus on intuitive, lawyer-facing interfaces.

  • Collaborate directly with founders to define technical priorities and establish a robust, maintainable codebase.

  • Develop and integrate large language model (LLM)-powered tools into the core platform.

  • Contribute to a high-energy, in-person engineering culture focused on shipping quickly and iterating fast.

  • Mentor junior engineers and help recruit talent as the team scales.

What We're Looking For

Must-haves:

  • 3+ years of full-stack development experience.

  • Proficiency in TypeScript and Python.

  • Hands-on experience with modern frontend frameworks — React, Vue, or Svelte.

  • Experience building frontend AI tools, agents, or interfaces.

  • Prior experience at a high-growth, venture-backed startup.

  • Willingness and ability to work on-site at the NYC office.

Nice to have:

  • Experience with LLM integrations and building agentic workflows.

  • Demonstrated interest in AI applications within the legal or professional services space.

  • Familiarity with Go or Rust.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary: $250,000 – $300,000 USD annually

  • Competitive equity package

  • Visa sponsorship available

This role is on-site in New York City. Candidates must be willing to work from the NYC office full-time.
