WORDSMITH

Most legal teams are drowning. They’re buried under internal questions, contract reviews, policy approvals, and constant fire drills.

Wordsmith is the AI command centre for in-house legal. We automate the chaos — intake, Q&A, redlines, drafting, and research — so legal teams can operate at the speed of business.

We’re building at the frontier of AI-native software, and our engineering team is central to that.

WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT

Our engineering team is not using AI as a feature. It’s how we build.

Engineers here are expected to explore, test, and apply AI directly in how we design and ship product. There’s no heavy process, no layers of approval, and no hesitation around new approaches.

If something works, we use it. If it doesn’t, we move on quickly.

You’ll have the freedom to experiment, shape how AI is used in the product, and push beyond the patterns most teams are still stuck in.

THE ROLE

You’ll build product features end to end, working across frontend and backend, and ship AI-native workflows used by real customers.

You’ll work closely with design, product, and legal engineers to turn complex problems into simple, high-quality user experiences.

This is a role for someone who wants to move fast, stay close to users, and have a real impact on what gets built.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

- Own features end to end across frontend and backend

- Build AI-native workflows using LLMs and structured data

- Collaborate closely with design, product, and legal engineering

- Ship quickly, learn from users, and iterate

- Contribute to architecture, tooling, and engineering practices

- Help define how we use AI across the product

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

- 4+ years building high-quality web products

- Strong experience with modern frontend tools (React, Next.js, TypeScript)

- Backend experience (Python, Node, AWS or similar)

- Strong product instincts — you care about UX, clarity, and outcomes
