About The Position

FluxCap is hiring a Legal Engineer to work with litigators and software engineers on how the company’s product helps lawyers build cases, initially in antitrust. The role brings legal judgment into product development by identifying what claims require, assessing whether evidence supports arguments, and explaining limitations in the software’s analysis. The Legal Engineer will also work directly with lawyers using FluxCap, learn how they approach cases, help them use the product, and share those insights with the team. The position combines substantive legal analysis with building and improving software; coding is not required, but comfort learning tools and working through problems with engineers is important.

Authorization to work in the United States; visa sponsorship is not currently available.
