About the Role

Orbital's Legal Engineering team transforms legal expertise into the logic powering our AI platform. Legal Engineers design, build, and refine workflows, knowledge bases, and evaluations, collaborating with AI and software engineers, product managers, and designers. They translate real legal work into AI that thinks like a real estate lawyer, serving as the legal trust layer behind every customer output.

Responsibilities

Working closely with AI and software engineers, automate commercial real estate workflows (acquisitions, leases, title and survey review) from concept to implementation for Am Law 100 and Magic Circle firms.
Build domain-specific knowledge bases and decision trees that translate legal processes into AI workflows.
Develop automation blueprints for due diligence, lease reviews, and survey analysis.
Research jurisdiction-specific nuances in US property law to ensure product accuracy.
Evaluate model outputs and use those evaluations to continually improve the product.
Collaborate with AI and software engineers to design features that match how attorneys actually work.

Requirements

A JD from a nationally accredited law school or equivalent qualification.
At least 2 years of experience as a licensed attorney in commercial real estate.
At least 2 years as in-house counsel, advising sophisticated corporate clients, or similar role.
Hands-on experience with acquisitions, dispositions, leasing, and/or title and survey review.
Ability to break down due diligence and other real estate legal work into structured, discrete tasks that can be automated.
High level of tech literacy and deep curiosity about how large language models can be applied to real estate law, paired with a practical, solutions-oriented mindset and bias toward action.
Clear communication skills — comfortable explaining legal context to engineers and product managers who aren't lawyers, and engaging credibly with attorneys at leading firms.
A resourceful, analytical approach to solving problems without a script, and comfort working in a fast-moving environment where priorities shift.
The drive to change the real estate legal industry and build better, more efficient ways to get real estate deals done.
Familiarity with LegalTech software, experience managing teams that use AI tools, and/or experience with programming, no-code tools, or software integrations are all pluses.
Cross-functional exposure across operations, product, business, or compliance; client-facing experience via law firm business development or secondments; and practical familiarity leveraging artificial intelligence within legal workflows.
Security is everyone’s responsibility at Orbital.
Handle sensitive data with care in line with ISO 27001 standards.
Report risks or incidents quickly.
Everyone who works with Orbital goes through background screening before they start.
