About the role

- Magazine's 5000 Fastest-Growing Private Companies in America.
Responsibilities
- NetDocuments sits on the context layer of the legal industry - the documents, matters, and relationships that constitute the working memory of a law firm.
- Our products increasingly turn that position into structured, permission-aware legal intelligence: maps of matters, semantic layers, and agentic capabilities that let AI start work already understanding what a matter is about, rather than re-reading five thousand documents to figure it out.
- NetDocuments is seeking a Manager of Legal Engineering to own the substantive legal quality of that intelligence - and to build the discipline of legal engineering inside our R&D organization.
- This is a build role at the center of R&D.
- You'll operate as a player-coach: a senior individual contributor who also builds and leads a small, special-forces team of legal engineers, working across every product team in R&D.
- Build the evaluation discipline for legal AI at NetDocuments.
- Design and run evaluation harnesses that define what "good" looks like for legal work product, briefs, analyses, extractions, and agent outputs, and prove with rigor that each iteration of our products is better than the last.
- Develop our legal skill strategy. Author, test, and validate the skills (structured, executable domain knowledge) that let agents perform substantive legal tasks correctly, and build the testing scaffolding that validates they actually matter.
- Define legal taxonomy and structure. Bring frameworks like practice-area ontologies, document typologies, and matter lifecycles into a coherent semantic layer that agents and products can rely on.
- Hire and lead a small team of legal engineers while remaining deeply hands-on yourself.
Requirements
- If you have any concerns or questions about communications you have received, please send them to hrgroup@netdocuments.co m so our team members can review.
- you know that a litigation matter lives and dies on its claims, parties, key events, and procedural posture, and you can express that knowledge in a form an agent can use.
Nice to have
- Define legal taxonomy and structure.
- Work across all of R&D.
- Genuine fluency with modern AI development.
- A careful, methodical, rigorous mind.
Compensation
- The posted cash compensation for this position includes on target earnings, base salary and variable if applicable.
- Some roles may qualify for overtime pay.
