StellenbeschreibungppWhat if the AI agents you architect empower legal professionals to act with sharper judgment and greater leverage, using tools that are themselves AI-native and multiply what you and your team can ship? /p pOur agent platform team builds and ships using AI-native engineering practices: agentic coding tools that let a small, senior group move at a pace well beyond traditional engineering throughput. That's how this team builds the infrastructure, tooling, and observability our AI agents need to run reliably at scale, often several efforts at once. We're also in the middle of rethinking how we deploy and operate agents in production, pushing quality and safety checks earlier in the pipeline and raising our bar for release velocity and stability. As our Lead AI Engineer, you'll set technical direction across that portfolio, moving fluidly between the initiatives that matter most and shaping how a highly capable, senior team builds the next generation of legal AI agents. /p h3About The Role /h3 ul liSet technical architecture and direction across the team's highest-priority initiatives, spanning core agent infrastructure, new internal tooling, and production reliability. /li liProvide hands‑on technical leadership wherever it matters most, flexing across the team's highest-priority initiatives rather than being locked into a single fixed workstream. /li liArchitect and build production AI agent systems on top of modern LLM APIs, agent SDKs, and orchestration/runtime infrastructure, designed to scale and integrate cleanly with existing platform services. /li liDesign agent observability and evaluation practices (tracing, automated evals, and quality/drift detection) so regressions in agent behavior get caught before they reach customers. /li liAdvance how the team deploys and operates AI agents in production, deepening practices like progressive/feature‑flagged rollout and earlier‑stage quality signals so releases get both faster and safer over time. /li liDrive cross‑cutting design reviews and technical decisions (RFCs/ADRs) to keep new systems coherent as multiple initiatives move in parallel. /li liMentor and raise the technical bar for a senior engineering team, including how they use AI‑native, agentic development practices to multiply their own output. /li liPartner with product and engineering leadership to translate strategic priorities into concrete system architecture and sequencing decisions. /li /ul h3About You /h3 ul liExtensive experience architecting and shipping production software systems, including hands‑on experience building AI/LLM‑powered products or agentic systems (not solely classical ML/data science). /li liDirect experience building with modern LLM APIs, agent frameworks/SDKs, or agent‑to‑tool integration protocols. /li liA track record of setting technical direction across multiple concurrent initiatives, not just delivering one project end‑to‑end. /li liStrong backend engineering fundamentals, including distributed systems design, service architecture, and cloud infrastructure. /li liExperience designing for production reliability and observability: monitoring, evaluation pipelines, incident response, and quality regression detection. /li liDemonstrated ability to mentor senior engineers and influence technical culture and practices. /li liComfort operating with high autonomy on a fast‑moving, senior‑heavy team that builds with AI‑native/agentic engineering practices. /li /ul h3Additional Preferred Qualifications Include /h3 ul liExperience leading architecture for developer‑facing platforms, plugin/extension systems, or integration ecosystems. /li liFamiliarity with progressive delivery practices (feature flagging, phased rollout, blue/green deployment) at scale. /li liExperience pushing a team toward elite software delivery practices: progressive delivery, shift‑left quality/testing, and the kind of engineering discipline reflected in metrics like deployment frequency, lead time, and change failure rate. /li liExperience with managed agent runtime infrastructure (e.g., AWS Bedrock AgentCore or similar). /li liDomain expertise in legal, regulated, professional‑services, or other fiduciary domains is a plus, but not required. /li /ul h3What’s in it For You? /h3 ul liHybrid Work Model: We’ve adopted a flexible hybrid working environment (2‑3 days a week in the office depending on the role) for our office‑based roles while delivering a seamless experience that is digitally and physically connected. /li liFlexibility Work‑Life Balance: Flex My Way is a set of supportive workplace policies designed to help manage personal and professional responsibilities, whether caring for family, giving back to the community, or finding time to refresh and reset. This builds upon our flexible work arrangements, including work from anywhere for up to 8 weeks per year, empowering employees to achieve a better work‑life balance. /li liCareer Development and Growth: By fostering a culture of continuous learning and skill development, we prepare our talent to tackle tomorrow’s challenges and deliver real‑world solutions. Our Grow My Way programming and skills‑first approach ensures you have the tools and knowledge to grow, lead, and thrive in an AI‑enabled future. /li liIndustry Competitive Benefits: We offer comprehensive benefit plans to include flexible vacation, two company‑wide Mental Health Days off, access to the Headspace app, retirement savings, tuition reimbursement, employee incentive programs, and resources for mental, physical, and financial wellbeing. /li liCulture: Globally recognized, award‑winning reputation for inclusion and belonging, flexibility, work‑life balance, and more. We live by our values: Obsess over our Customers, Compete to Win, Challenge (Y)our Thinking, Act Fast / Learn Fast, and Stronger Together. /li liSocial Impact: Make an impact in your community with our Social Impact Institute. We offer employees two paid volunteer days off annually and opportunities to get involved with pro‑bono consulting projects and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives. /li liMaking a Real‑World Impact:We are one of the few companies globally that helps its customers pursue justice, truth, and transparency.
