About Wordsmith

Wordsmith is the AI platform built for in-house legal teams. Draft, review, and research contracts faster — with answers your team can trust. Backed by General Catalyst and Index.

About the role

Legal engineers are how Wordsmith wins: lawyers who shape the product, deploy it with customers and prove what AI can do for an in-house team. The best of them are not looking for jobs. They're senior associates, in-house counsel and legal ops leads who haven't yet heard a strong case for leaving law. You'll find them, assess both their legal judgment and their technical aptitude, and convince them this is the next step in their career. This is not a coordination role. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

More about this role

Wordsmith is building the legal operations platform for in-house teams, and we are growing fast.

We believe in-house legal is becoming one of the most important functions in the AI era. Every business is moving faster, but legal work is still too often scattered across inboxes, chats, documents, and disconnected systems.

Wordsmith brings that work into one system. Requests come in from across the business, AI agents handle the routine, lawyers stay in control where judgment matters, and every step is captured as work happens.

We are built for in-house legal, not law firms. Our goal is to help legal teams move faster, reduce unnecessary external counsel spend, and become a function the business can run with.
