Edinburgh (in-office)
Most legal teams are drowning. They’re buried under internal questions, contract reviews, policy approvals, and constant fire drills.
Wordsmith is the AI command centre for in-house legal. We combine AI, automation, and structured workflows to help legal teams operate at the speed of the businesses they support.
We’re building at the frontier of legal technology, and our Legal Engineering team sits at the centre of how the product actually works.
This is not a support or advisory role. You’ll sit inside the product team and help define how the product behaves.
You’ll take how strong legal operators think and work, and turn that into systems, workflows, and AI-driven behaviour that scale across every customer.
AI is core to how we build. You’ll be expected to use it, test it, and push it — shaping how it’s applied across real workflows.
You won’t just describe legal work. You’ll define how it gets done.
You’ll own a domain within the product, going deep on workflows, edge cases, and customer needs.
Working closely with engineers, product managers, and designers, you’ll translate legal expertise into product features, playbooks, and systems.
This role blends legal knowledge, product thinking, and hands-on building.

This is a high ownership environment. You’ll be trusted to run projects, define domains, and drive outcomes without heavy oversight.
The problems are often not fully defined. Part of the role is bringing structure and clarity to them.
The value of legal technology comes from how well it reflects real legal work.
This role ensures the product stays grounded in how legal teams actually operate — and turns that into systems that scale.
