About General Legal

The law firm for companies that need senior counsel without a traditional firm. Backed by Y Combinator.

About the role

The legal industry is broken — lawyers bill by the hour, charge enormous sums, and take forever to respond. This means that a lot of people who need legal advice don't get it. We're using AI to solve this problem. AI takes the first pass at everything our lawyers do, so that the lawyers can focus on human interaction. We're starting with negotiating commercial contracts, and will expand quickly from there to other use cases within legal. We're reimagining what a contract can be in the AI age.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience
  • Strong experience building and shipping production web applications
  • Ability to work effectively across the frontend and backend
  • Strong product judgment and ability to operate with significant autonomy
  • Computer Science degree or equivalent experience
  • Eligible to work in the US, and able to work in-office a minimum of 3 days a week in our SF or NY office locations
