About the Role

Set the technical direction for the backend, AI orchestration, and identity systems for CoCounsel, our advanced AI offering. Partner closely with AI/ML engineers, researchers, product, and identity and platform teams to deliver world-class legal content and AI experiences at scale.

Responsibilities

• Own identity and trust at the core: Set the direction for how users, agents, and services authenticate and authorize across CoCounsel Legal.
• Own the design and evolution of authentication and authorization across CoCounsel Legal.
• Partner with security, platform, and compliance teams on multi-tenancy isolation, data residency, privilege protection, and audit trails.
• Lead and/or design initiatives that cut across AI, product, identity, and infrastructure.
• Mentor staff and senior engineers, raising the bar on AI integration practices, system design, code quality, and security.
• Be the expert in new model capabilities, collaborating closely with AI/ML engineers, researchers, designers, and PMs.
• Help shape the team’s roadmap, technical strategy, and engineering culture.
• Design for high-throughput, low-latency AI workloads: caching, queuing, rate-limiting, model failover, and cost/performance trade-offs.
• Work with large-scale data: millions of documents, retrieval and search, vector stores, and indexing strategies.
• Establish and refine SLOs, observability, and incident response for AI systems.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, a related field, or equivalent experience.
• Hands-on experience with identity and access management – designing or integrating authentication and authorization at scale (SSO, SAML, OIDC, OAuth 2.0, RBAC/ABAC, token/session management, or comparable IAM systems).
• Deep Python expertise and experience with production systems using frameworks like FastAPI (or similar), relational databases (PostgreSQL or equivalent), and a major cloud provider (AWS preferred).
• Strong background in distributed systems: data modeling, API contracts, observability, resilience patterns, and performance tuning under load.
• Demonstrated experience building with AI – LLMs, agents, and retrieval – and a strong point of view on what “AI-native” software should look like.
• Proven track record owning large, complex projects end-to-end: architecture, execution, rollout, and long-term operation.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to partner with product, design, security, and ML teams in a fast-moving environment.
