About The Position

Epiq AI Labs is the innovation and engineering hub behind Epiq’s next-generation AI platform for corporate legal departments and global law firms. Operating with the speed and autonomy of a startup and the resources of a global alternative legal services provider, the team builds intelligent agents, reasoning engines, knowledge systems, and structured workflows for litigation, investigations, compliance, and corporate knowledge work. The team is highly collaborative, deeply technical, and focused on rapid iteration, thoughtful design, and end-to-end ownership. The Opportunity You will build the cloud infrastructure beneath Epiq AI Labs’ AI platform, spanning infrastructure as code, Kubernetes, CI/CD and release engineering, networking, secrets management, observability, security, and compliance infrastructure. Ownership extends from initial design through production operation. Infrastructure is treated as a product whose reliability, scalability, and security shape the capabilities of the entire platform. You will partner closely with backend engineering, AI engineering, product management, and security to establish deployment, observability, and security patterns that can scale with the organization . This role will be in the office 3~4 days a week.
