Responsibilities

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

• 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.
