About this role
We're looking for a Founding Engineer to join a 4–5 person team building AI infrastructure for trial attorneys. You'll own frontend craft for the primary AI interface and go deep on agent architecture — orchestrators, sub-agents, tool-use patterns, and the eval loops that keep AI output reliable enough to hold up in a courtroom. This is a high-ownership, high-range role where you'll move between polished UX work and core agent infrastructure, often in the same week.
Responsibilities
Build and ship features across the entire stack — frontend (React, Next.js, TypeScript), backend, and AI systems — often within the same day
Take full ownership of third-party integrations (Clio, iManage, Salesforce, and others) from scoping to deployment
Work closely with a small team of 3 full-stack engineers and 2 data engineers to optimize system stability and performance
Develop and maintain AI-powered features including document extraction, agent orchestration, RAG pipelines, and anti-hallucination scaffolding built for litigation attorneys
Contribute to backend optimization and system upgrades to improve reliability at scale
Move fast when issues arise — this is a startup where adaptability and urgency are part of the job
What happens next
Skip the application pile. I get you in front of the people who decide.
Confirm the fit
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I pitch you to the company
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
A meeting lands on your calendar
When the company wants to meet, I get the call on your calendar. You just show up.
Culture & values
Founder-led, high-ownership culture where engineers operate with full autonomy
Engineers are expected to drive projects end-to-end independently
Work directly alongside the founder as a true product partner shaping decisions
Team moves fast across the full stack with diverse technical responsibilities
Strong product taste and technical range expected from all team members
High bar for work quality because stakes are high in litigation domain
Team embraces AI-native workflows with critical review of all outputs before shipping
No passive execution; active contribution expected
Primarily NY/NJ-based with strong preference for NYC and Eastern Time overlap
In-person gatherings approximately once per quarter
Environment suited for those who thrive in ambiguity and want seed-stage startup ownership
Know someone who'd be great for this?
