About the role
- We're targeting mid-market law firms, automating their legal work and allowing them to provide our tools directly to their clients.
Responsibilities
- Own deployments end-to-end: architect, build, and ship August into production at law firms - scope the integration, write the code, run the cutover, and stay on it until it's stable. You decide what "done" means.
- Build the integrations that touch everything: ship the adapters, webhooks, and APIs that wire August into iManage, NetDocs, SharePoint, Outlook, and Word add-ins
- implement SSO/SAML/OIDC, tenant isolation, and ingestion pipelines that hold up at enterprise scale.
- Thrives in high-ownership, fast-moving environments: you're energized by ambiguity, can context-switch between deep technical problems and high-level architecture discussions, and take pride in building things that actually work in the wild.

- We build agents to automate all challenging knowledge work.
Nice to have
- 3+ years of production software engineering experience (full-stack or platform)
- you're a strong generalist who can navigate an unfamiliar codebase quickly, debug hairy integration issues, and ship reliable code under real constraints.
- Strong command of TypeScript/JavaScript (React/Next.js) and at least one backend language (Python preferred)
- comfortable writing API clients, data transformation scripts, and lightweight services from scratch.
Skills
- Today, legal work is done the way it has been done for a century - manually, by humans, in six-minute increments.
- Every contract drafted from scratch.
- Every memo researched line by line.
- Every matter running through layers of review that someone is paying for at hundreds of dollars an hour.
- That is about to change.
- The implication is not faster lawyers - it is a fundamentally different way that legal services get bought and procured.
- Our agents mimic a lawyers' reasoning, research, and drafting, and our workflows already outperform lawyers in third-party evaluations.
Benefits
- Medical insurance coverage
- Parental Leave
- Equinox or Chelsea Piers gym membership
- In-office perks: lunch, dinner, snacks, drinks, and more
- Uncapped Upside: Competitive base + commission, early equity ownership.
- Engineering instincts that favor shipping: you default to the smallest working solution, add observability from day one, and treat each deployment as a learning loop - not a one-time project.
