Zinda Law Group, PLLC•Austin, TX

2d•$200,000 - $250,000•Onsite

About The Position

Zinda Law Group is one of the fastest-growing personal injury law firms in the country. Zlayt AI is our legal tech SaaS arm — built to transform how law firms operate through intelligent automation, AI-powered workflows, and modern software platforms. We move fast, we build bold, and we are not interested in the way things have always been done. We are looking for a CTO who is wired the same way. This is not a title. This is a builder's seat at one of the most exciting intersections in tech right now - AI+Legal. As CTO, you will architect and launch the technology platforms that power Zlayt AI and support Zinda Law Group's operations. You will be hands-on from day one — writing code, launching products, and integrating AI into everything we touch — while simultaneously hiring and building the engineering team around you. If you need a large team before you can ship, this role is not for you. If you can go from idea to MVP in days and have a bias for action that borders on obsessive, keep reading.
