Role overview
Expedite is an AI native law firm that works with international founders from day 1.
What you will do
- Own the product lifecycle end-to-end, from defining features and talking to users to shipping production code across the frontend, backend, and AI layers.
- Develop and iterate on complex AI systems that automate legal case preparation, document generation, and evidence analysis using a stack including OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini.
- Architect and maintain a robust TypeScript monorepo using React, Drizzle ORM, and oRPC, ensuring high-quality software design while leveraging AI code-generation tools effectively.
Who this is a fit for
- Proven experience shipping production-grade TypeScript across the full stack, specifically with React and Node.js (Drizzle or similar ORM experience preferred).
- Hands-on expertise building with LLM providers (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini) or agent frameworks, with the ability to direct AI coding tools rather than just accepting suggestions.
- Early-stage DNA characterized by high autonomy, a desire to own product outcomes, and the software design instincts needed to build scalable systems from scratch.
Why this role is remarkable
- Join as engineer #2 on a founding team led by a 2X YC founder and a top VC general counsel, offering significant equity and massive influence.
- Work with an elite backing group including the ex-Head of Product at DeepMind, the Founder of Hugging Face, the Head of Startups at OpenAI, and Sequoia scouts.
- Build an AI-native law firm from the ground up, moving beyond chatbots to create sophisticated agentic systems that replace weeks of legal labor with minutes of automation.
