    San Francisco, California IT and Legal TechnologyFull time, office based US$150,000 to US$225,000 base salary, plus equity and bonus opportunity

    Apply your legal experience to AI development, with ownership of legal research quality and project delivery.

    The role

    Use your legal judgement to guide AI projects where research quality matters. You will translate client requirements into legal data and evaluation projects, coordinate attorney experts, and take work from initial scope to delivery. The remit includes developing legal research tasks and assessment standards, checking citations and jurisdictional accuracy, and improving the reliability of legal reasoning.

    What you will need

You should bring strong legal research skills, clear communication and the confidence to lead projects with changing requirements. Experience in legal technology or AI assisted workflows would help. Python or data analysis skills are useful, rather than essential.
