Founder Engineer

HyperLegal builds AI-native onboarding & compliance for law firms

We help lawyers work faster and more accurately, without losing the human judgement and oversight. We know legal workflows deeply, and we build software that fits them. The team is small, collaborative, and building products people actually want to use.

We have a live pilot with a Legal 500 firm. We raised pre-seed in our first year. We're raising again now to grow faster.

Our main product handles client onboarding: pre-consultation, client and risk checks.

The product works. Now we need it to scale securely, across many firms at once.

The role
You'd be our founding engineer, working directly with the co-founders. You own everything between the code and the customer: the deployment pipeline, the technical roadmap, and the AI platform capabilities (incl: self-serve onboarding and integrations) that take us from one live firm to many.

We are building a category-defining platform. You'll be joining a founding team of MIT, Oxford and Wharton alumni early, with a mission to scale to eight-figure ARR within five years. This suits someone who wants genuine ownership of the technical foundations and is willing to walk with us to unlock the upside. You won't be doing this alone; we have development and QA support in place today, and we're planning to scale the team around this hire.

Skills & responsibilities
• Enhance the multi-agent architecture
• Own serverless AWS CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code across all environments
• Incident response and production observability
• Data and security: relational data modelling in a multi-tenant context, role-based access control, AI agent security, API gateway
• Strong hands-on TypeScript skills across both backend and frontend
• Legal domain knowledge is NOT required.

Compensation
This is a founding role. Compensation is meaningful equity, with cash triggered by enabled revenue and a full founder package on close of our current raise.

Process
A conversation with Co-founder, a technical deep-dive, then meet the wider team. We move in weeks, not months. Final round face-to-face from the end of August.
