Company

hirify.global is an AI-native law firm building predictive legal intelligence through agentic systems that monitor company data, identify legal events, and propose/execute actions.

What you will do

• Own end-to-end technical problems, determining the right approach, architecture, tooling, scope, and trade-offs independently.
• Apply AI judgment to decide when AI adds value versus deterministic systems and anticipate/mitigate common LLM failure modes.
• Lead major initiatives, guiding engineers and translating legal workflows into scalable, maintainable systems.
• Ship fast with rapid prototyping using LLMs and agents, tight execution cycles, and a strong bias toward shipping while protecting system integrity.
• Build automated legal workflows, API integrations with platforms like Slack and Carta, and event-driven systems to detect real-time legal signals.

Requirements

• 5–8+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• 1+ year hands-on building with LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Hugging Face ecosystem).
• Strong systems design and architectural thinking.
• Experience deploying and scaling systems on AWS or similar cloud platforms.
• High code quality standards; ability to design APIs and interfaces others can build on.
• Experience mentoring or managing junior engineers and comfort operating in fast-moving startup environments.

Nice to have

• Experience with legal or compliance-driven workflows.
• Integrations with HR systems, billing, cap tables, or data rooms.
• Availability in US or Canada time zones.

Culture & Benefits

• Full-time (8 hours per day, Monday-Friday), long-term remote work.
• Opportunity to work with business leaders building cutting-edge AI solutions in a high-growth market.
• Innovative environment where you are trusted to define solutions and own architectural decisions.
