Artificial Intelligence Engineer

About the role

Broadfield is a global law firm partnering with SHP Legal Services. This role is foundational for a dedicated AI builder, working closely with the Innovation Committee and SHP Legal Services.

Responsibilities

• Map and structure the firm's playbooks, litigation frameworks, and due diligence processes into reusable knowledge assets
• Build custom workflows, particularly for document-intensive work across practices — from due diligence automation and playbook-based markup review on the transactional side, to discovery analysis, case chronologies, and brief research on the litigation side
• Design the RAG architecture that grounds AI outputs in the firm's proprietary precedents, deal data, and case materials
• Establish the prompt architecture library, guardrails, and quality standards that every subsequent build will draw from, and collaborate with attorneys to define what constitutes good output

Requirements

Hands-on experience building with legal AI tools (Harvey, Legora, or equivalent) or LLM APIs (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, or equivalent)

Experience designing and implementing RAG pipelines — chunking strategies, embedding models, and retrieval optimization

Familiarity with workflow automation frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, or equivalent) for multi-step AI pipeline construction

Proficiency with prompt engineering at a production level — system prompt architecture, guardrails, output schema design, edge case handling

Comfort working with APIs, JSON, Python, or equivalent scripting

Qualifications

Exceptional recent graduates who demonstrate genuine technical depth and the drive to build from day one are also considered

Skills

Builder instinct: measures success by adoption, not by what you've shipped

Speed and judgment: knows when to prototype fast and when to get it right

Communication: explains what you built both to a partner and to a machine

Ownership: treats the legal operations system as yours

Benefits

Immediate implementation of changes to support attorney-facing workflows and inform client work

Pay

$150,000 base salary + eligibility for a discretionary bonus

Schedule

Remote, with regular travel, will be considered only for exceptional candidates
