• Partner with legal stakeholders to understand workflows, identify automation opportunities, and deliver trusted solutions.
• Architect and build AI-powered legal applications for contract review, legal research, regulatory analysis, and compliance using LLMs, RAG, and agentic AI frameworks.
• Develop and optimize document processing pipelines for ingestion, parsing, chunking, embedding, and indexing legal content.
• Ship production-grade AI features by writing clean, well-tested code (Python/TypeScript) and utilizing LLM APIs, orchestration frameworks, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Design and implement automated evaluation pipelines, test sets, and quality metrics for legal AI outputs.
• Embed governance and security by design, including data security controls, access management, audit logging, PII redaction, and data residency compliance.
• Apply product thinking to legal AI solutions, translating user needs into technical requirements and prioritizing features for adoption and business value.
• Lead, educate, and mentor legal team members in developing no-code AI solutions.
• Serve as the technical bridge between legal and engineering teams.
• Communicate clearly across disciplines, deliver demos and training to legal users, and channel user insights into product development.
