About The Position

Legora is hiring an AI Automation & Enablement Engineer to increase AI fluency across the company and help employees make effective use of AI and automation. The role works as an embedded engineering partner to internal teams: understanding how colleagues work, building practical solutions with them, and helping them gain the confidence and skills to use AI independently. It combines hands-on development with practical teaching, turning experiments into reliable workflows used in day-to-day work. The engineer will select suitable tools and approaches for each problem, which may range from improving use of an existing product to building integrations or internal applications. Tools mentioned include Claude and Claude Code, ChatGPT and Codex, Cursor, and other AI and automation platforms. The role also evaluates model quality, speed, and cost; helps ensure workflows are dependable and appropriately permissioned; and follows up after launch to improve adoption and results. Legora describes itself as an AI-native legal-work workspace serving more than 2,100 customers across over 80 countries. It has scaled to more than $200 million in ARR, with teams across Europe, North America, and APAC. The position works in an in-person environment at the Union Square office, with company-provided lunch daily.
