About the role

You'll work closely with our Founders and Engineering team to ship features and improve performance across backend systems -- from databases to data ingestion to AI systems.
This is a high-ownership, high-impact role where you'll directly shape the future of Phaselaw's technology.

Phaselaw is rebuilding the legacy eDiscovery industry from the ground up, empowering in-house legal teams with tools for document production that bypass the existing services-heavy approach.
We're looking for a Backend Engineer to help us build and scale our core product.

3+ years of experience in backend development, ideally with startups or fast-moving teams.
Strong expertise in Python for backend development.
Strong database expertise, including Postgres and/or Elasticsearch.
Experience with modern infrastructure management, including Terraform, Kubernetes, and CI/CD.

Your work will directly shape the product and the future of the company.
High ownership, deep collaboration with company and technical leadership.
Our team is kind, collaborative, inquisitive, and inclusive - and we want to keep it that way.
We have high standards for quality and ethics, and help each other learn in order to reach our objectives.
We think technology is best built by teams with a diversity of background, thought, and experience.
👒 Every team member is a human first, and we strive to create a culture and environment that supports your career goals and respects all of the hats you wear in life, not just the ones that earn you a paycheck.
Collaborate closely with the team and customers to shape the future of the product.
