About The Position

Noetica is solving critical NLP problems at the heart of the trillion-dollar capital markets ecosystem with an in-house machine learning platform and decades of ML PhD expertise. Founded in 2022 and based in New York, our high-caliber team is dedicated to bringing innovation and efficiency to legal and financial industries. We count many of the top law firms in the world among our customers. To date we have raised ~$30M with our last round (Series A) led by Lightspeed. We're fortunate to have been featured in Wall Street Journal , Bloomberg , and American Banker , amongst others, and named a top AI company 2024 and 2025 by Business Insider, CB Insights, and others. The global capital markets are among the largest markets in the world valued at $50T+ and growing. Transactions in these markets are complex. Critical, nuanced legal terms are woven into lengthy documents. These documents must be digested and analyzed by many different parties over the course of a single transaction and multiple decisions are made based on the terms laid out and quantitative and qualitative attributes within. This fundamental need plus a booming market drives enormous demand for precise extraction and benchmarking of legal terms. As a Software Engineer, Full Stack at Noetica, you'll help build robust backend systems and APIs that power our search-centric web experience that’s core to the workflow of our end users. This role is backend-leaning — you'll spend most of your time on server-side architecture, data processing, and API design, while also contributing to frontend features as needed. You will collaborate with a talented team of AI/ML PhDs, legal SMEs, and market strategists to design, build, and maintain scalable backend services. The backend service you will contribute to is the critical piece between our data product and our end users. Its system architecture decisions will influence the technical direction of our platform and decide our velocity of making impacts. Your contributions will directly impact the performance and reliability of Noetica's core infrastructure.
