Job summary

Responsibilities

As a Software Engineer, Agents, you'll build the systems that make our AI agents indispensable to legal professionals.

  • Partner with customers and PMs to understand legal workflows, design practical evaluations that capture what “excellent” means, and ship agents that get the job done.
  • Optimize agent performance through prompt engineering, model selection, tool design, skill writing, context window management, and eval harness development.
  • Work with our model infra team to design and implement infrastructure for low-latency agent execution, including caching strategies, parallel tool calls, or subagent patterns.
  • Improve our observability and instrumentation to profile agent behavior, identify bottlenecks, and drive optimization decisions.
  • Stay current on new developments in agentic systems and bring those learnings back to the products we build.

What they're looking for

  • Passion for building effective domain-specific agents.
  • Iterative mindset: you develop proof of concepts, make decisions quickly, and ship v0s.
  • Comfortable with when and how to use evaluations to drive quality.
  • Humble and adaptable about code and frameworks. We expect you to drive adoption of new best practices as they develop.
  • 6+ years (post-BS/MS) of software engineering experience.
