Legal Engineer - New York

Who are we?

At Newcode.ai, we're transforming how law firms and legal professionals harness AI for real-world impact. As part of our collaborative, high-growth team, you'll have the rare opportunity to work side-by-side with visionary founders at the bleeding edge of AI and legal innovation — shaping not just our product, but the future of legal work itself.

We foster a culture of trust, inclusivity, and excellence. If you thrive in dynamic settings, love solving complex problems, and want to be immersed in the world of AI and startups, Newcode.ai is the place for you.

Role Overview

As a Legal Engineer at Newcode.ai, you are the critical bridge between our customers and our product & engineering team. You will embed yourself deeply into the workflows of our customers — building a genuine understanding of how they work and where AI can make a meaningful difference — then translate those insights into AI-powered solutions, optimized prompts, and structured workflows that deliver real, measurable value.

You will serve as a strategic partner throughout the entire customer journey, guiding firms from onboarding through adoption, expansion, and long-term value realization, while acting as an internal advocate for their needs and a driving force behind our AI product development. At the same time, you will bring a commercial mindset to the role — owning customer relationships, identifying growth opportunities, and getting your hands dirty configuring and improving the product itself.

In short, you are equally comfortable running a workshop with a law firm partner and contributing to a product meeting with our engineering team.
