New York, New York, United States Connect Staffing Professional Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year

Founding Full Stack Engineer - Legal AI Platform

Location: New York City (onsite required; hybrid flexibility available)

Compensation: $150K+ base salary + meaningful equity

Experience Level: 1–5 years (sweet spot: ~2 years)

Team Size: ~6 engineers, hiring 2–3 more

About the Role: My client is a venture-backed legal AI startup building the future of in-house legal operations. The platform streamlines legal workflows through intelligent triage, redlining, drafting, and Q&A—empowering legal teams to deploy customizable agents tailored to their needs. With early traction across multiple design partners and a planned public launch in Fall 2025, this is a rare opportunity to join a founding team at the ground level.

As a Founding Full Stack Engineer, you'll work closely with senior engineers and technical founders to ship production-grade features across the stack. You'll own customer-facing components, contribute to architectural decisions, and grow rapidly as the company scales.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Build and maintain React frontends and services on GCP
  • Collaborate in agile workflows: write user stories, estimate tasks, and deliver shippable code
  • Ensure code quality through testing, reviews, and monitoring
  • Troubleshoot production issues and contribute to operational excellence
  • Learn from and support lead engineers on architecture and process

Ideal Candidate Profile:

  • 1–5 years full-stack experience (React, , TypeScript)
  • Experience building customer-facing applications (not just internal tools)
  • Familiarity with GCP or other major cloud platforms
  • Strong ownership mindset and adaptability in fast-paced environments
  • Interest in legal technology and startup growth

Preferred Backgrounds:

  • Early-stage startup experience (Seed–Series B)
  • Strong GitHub or side project portfolio
  • Exposure to ML/AI or prompt engineering
  • FANG or top-tier tech experience with clear startup readiness

Work Environment:

  • Onsite in NYC required (office near Union Square)
  • Hybrid flexibility available after onboarding
  • Relocation support up to $10K for the right candidate

Note: Candidates with exclusively legacy tech or non-tech company backgrounds (e.g., banking, healthcare) are less likely to be a fit. This role demands startup hustle, responsiveness, and a passion for building real products.
