Senior Software Engineer

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
