Senior Software Engineer, AI Platform

About the role

Transforming legal tech with software and AI is a full-stack challenge that applies retrieval, vector search, model orchestration, evaluation, and agentic patterns - alongside search, databases, and real-time collaboration - to help our customers find the truth in millions of documents.

We will encourage you to explore our entire system and work with significant autonomy across the stack. If you have deeper experience in areas like RAG pipelines, LLM integrations, or large-scale retrieval pipelines, there will be plenty of opportunities to lean into that expertise.

Most of all, we care about finding self-driven engineers who love their craft, write clean software, use the right tools for the job, and avoid dogma.

Responsibilities

• Build AI platform capabilities that power product experiences such as Deep Dive, predictive coding, multi-modal understanding, agentic workflows, translations, search, review, and more.
• Contribute to RAG, semantic retrieval, and agentic orchestration patterns, including indexing pipelines, query flows, tool-calling and planning logic, relevance tuning, benchmarking, and multi-modal workloads where applicable.
• Collaborate with Product, Platform, Security, and DevOps partners to build and ship new features in our production environments.
• Help with scaling our system to larger datasets with hundreds of millions of documents.
• Provide Technical Mentorship to other engineers by both sharing your technical knowledge and becoming an expert in an area of our code base.
• Be a Code Reviewer by reviewing code developed by others using your knowledge of programming languages, design patterns, and best practices.
• Fix defects in our product by triaging product or system issues and writing code to debug, track and resolve these issues.
• Provide on-call support for the product by answering questions from customers, triaging defects and exceptions, and carrying the pager.
• Contribute to documentation for internal engineering consumption or for external the Everlaw platform.
• Contribute to technical interviews to help us recruit engineers and grow the team.
