About The Position

We're hiring a senior software engineer to help build the largest case law dataset. Our data coverage includes US laws and court decisions and powers our lawyer-facing AI platform and B2B data services. We believe in skipping what can be skipped and appreciate simple solutions to complex problems. Good candidates for this role should be technical generalists, definitely across the backend (bonus for fullstack), and comfortable working with data pipelines, including basic to intermediate infra/devops. Interest/experience with stats/ML/AI is a bonus, but not critical. You should be cautiously AI-pilled. Tech stack isn't critical, Python and SQL are core. Definitely be able to stand up your own projects on your preferred infra end-to-end. Role is in-person at our office in SoHo, NYC. Competitive cash/benefits/salary. Visa sponsorship available; relocation not available.
