AI timekeeping for legal professionals. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
You will be our founding engineer. You’ll report directly to our CTO and work closely with both founders on what we build, how we build it, and where the product goes next.
What they're looking for
- You have built real software. You can investigate problems without a playbook and make good tradeoffs when speed, quality, and complexity pull in different directions
- You love building great products. You want to understand why a customer is struggling before deciding what to build, and you will cross boundaries between backend systems, models, data, and interface design to get the result right
- You learn quickly and take ownership. When something you built reaches production, you still consider it yours
- Prior experience in legal technology is not required. Neither is prior experience with our exact stack. We want someone who can get deep in unfamiliar territory and emerge with a working, well-reasoned solution

Automatic timekeeping is a challenging thing to get right. We receive various streams of user activity and must determine what work happened, which legal matter it belongs to, how it should be described, and how much time should be recorded. We must do this reliably and as fast as possible, reasoning over noisy signals and producing results legal professionals can...
