What you'll do

• Own reliability, observability, and incident response as we scale
• Build and harden CI/CD, deployment pipelines, and infrastructure on Vercel
• Tune Postgres for performance, reliability, and cost
• Build and improve vertical AI agents that handle real legal workflows

• Build internal tools that make our attorneys and operators faster
• Strengthen security posture, including data handling for sensitive legal information
• Partner closely with our CTO on architecture and product decisions

• Strong Python skills
• Hands-on experience with Next.js, Vercel, and Postgres
• Comfort with observability tooling (Datadog, Grafana, or similar)
• Strong interest in building vertical AI agents and shipping AI-native products
• Fluent with AI coding agents in day-to-day work (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or similar). xhyhwjd You treat them as leverage, not a novelty.
• Range: you've shipped product, debugged infra, and written internal tools, and you don't need to specialize to do good work
• Pragmatic judgment about what to build, what to buy, and what to ignore
• Background in regulated or security-sensitive environments is a plus
