Regulatory Data Associate (Legal Engineer)

Responsiv•Chicago, IL

About The Position

Responsiv is at the forefront of the legal AI revolution. The legal industry—historically slow to embrace technological change—stands on the cusp of unprecedented transformation, and we're leading the charge. As AI reshapes how legal work gets done, we're building the tools that will define this new era. Backed by Greylock and OnDean Forward (Andrew Sieja, founder of Relativity). Responsiv helps organizations stay ahead of regulatory change. Laws and regulations are constantly evolving—and for businesses in regulated industries, keeping up isn't optional. We build AI that understands how the regulatory landscape is shifting and maps those changes to what businesses actually need to do about it. Our platform monitors regulatory updates, identifies what matters to each organization, and surfaces the gaps between new requirements and existing compliance programs. The Regulatory Data Associate is the bridge between the law and the product. You’ll translate evolving regulations into clear specs, truth sets, and demos, then partner with engineering to ship features that stand up to expert scrutiny. You’ll also face the market—pressure-testing the product with customers, explaining decisions, and driving root-cause analyses when we can do better. Embedded within our product organization, you will help set the bar for the industry—turning regulatory insight into shippable breakthroughs that move our roadmap and the market.
