About the role

  • The Principal, Applied AI Enablement role sits at the intersection of legal practice and applied AI - closer to an in-house R&D function than a traditional legal team role.
  • This is a role for a tech-forward, innovative, engineer or product builder.
  • This role is about applying AI to the substance of legal work: the research, analysis, judgment calls, contract review, and regulatory tracking that lawyers do every day.

Responsibilities

  • Develop a clear point of view on what AI is genuinely capable of in a legal context today, what's just around the corner, and where human lawyers should remain firmly in the loop.
  • Build the case for which opportunities are worth investing in and which aren't, based on impact, feasibility, and legal risk.
  • Build, prototype, and ship AI tools and agents
  • Design and build AI-powered tools - assistants, agents, retrieval systems, evaluators - that handle real legal work end-to-end or in close collaboration with legal team members.
  • Configure and orchestrate these tools across the data and systems they need to be useful (document repositories, knowledge bases, relevant internal sources), working within IT, Security, and Legal Ops-governed infrastructure - not around it.
  • Develop the documentation, examples, and attorney-facing training that helps legal team members understand both how to use AI tools and where their judgment must remain the decision-maker.
  • Legal Ops, IT, and Security own those system layers, and anything that touches them requires their involvement.

Requirements

  • Hands-on experience with applied AI - prompting, agents, evaluations, RAG, fine-tuning - and a genuine curiosity about where models are headed.
  • Hands-on experience with modern AI techniques: prompting, agentic workflows, retrieval-augmented generation, evaluations, and the basics of fine-tuning or model selection.
  • Required
  • 4+ years of relevant experience building, deploying, or applying AI products and tools - at an AI-forward technology company, a startup, a law firm innovation team, or in-house.
  • Strong technical fluency: comfortable configuring platforms, working with APIs and data, and reasoning about integrations, permissions, and guardrails.
  • A track record of shipping - getting things into the hands of real users, learning from how they're used, and iterating.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills across legal, technical, and business audiences. You are a teacher and can bridge the gap between technical and plain language vocabulary.
  • Preferred
  • Experience building AI products in regulated, compliance-sensitive, or high-stakes domains (legal, healthcare, financial services, trust & safety).
  • Comfort with a pilot model: building something new within a defined team, measuring it rigorously, and helping make the case for broader rollout if it works.
  • Why This Role Matters
  • AI is changing what's possible in legal practice on a timeline measured in months, not years. This role is our bet that the right way to capture that opportunity is to put a dedicated builder inside the legal team and have them ship.
