AI Engineer

Job Description

Our client is building the next generation of legal services through the responsible, strategic use of artificial intelligence. We are seeking AI Engineers who are proven software builder first-someone who can write production-grade code and has evolved into modern AI development. These are engineers that will build real applications on top of existing LLMs. The role can sit fully remote, but preferred to be by an office location: Boston MA, NYC, Palo Alto CA, Chicago IL, Denver CO, LA, Miami FL, Reston VA, San Diego CA, San Francisco CA, Santa Monica CA, Seattle WA, or Washington DC.

The firm is deeply rooted in innovation, they leverage AI to enhance legal quality, accelerate client outcomes, and deliver sophisticated solutions to the world's most forward thinking technology companies. AI is embedded across client services and internal platforms, guided by clear principles around ethics, transparency, data security, and human centered design.
