Senior Full Stack Engineer

About LawY

Join a team that's transforming how 60,000+ lawyers work every day. At LawY, you're not selling generic AI: you're helping legal professionals reclaim their time and deliver better outcomes for their clients and stakeholders. Built by lawyers (half our team are practising or former lawyers), we've spent two years listening, learning, and evolving. Now we're launching our standalone subscription, expanding from trusted legal research into drafting, contract intelligence, and matter analysis.

You'll be joining at the most exciting inflection point: we've proven product-market fit, our users genuinely love what we've built, and we're scaling a solution that lawyers actually want to adopt. No complex lock-in contracts: just month-to-month subscriptions that deliver value from day one. If you want to build something that genuinely helps people do meaningful work better, this is it.

What you’ll do

Weʼre looking for an exceptional Full Stack Engineer to join our team and help build the next generation of AI-powered tools for legal professionals.

Youʼll contribute directly to our core product suite, including:

• AI Legal Research Assistant
• Lawyer-in-the-loop Verification
• Microsoft Word Contract Review

Beyond modern web technologies, youʼll design and build cutting-edge AI backend systems, including agentic toolchains, RAG pipelines, and experimental enrichment and validation models that improve accuracy, traceability, and trust in AI outputs.

As we expand into Australia, Canada, the UK, New Zealand, and the US, youʼll play a key role in building scalable, production-grade systems that lawyers rely on every day. Your work will directly impact how legal professionals work efficiently and effectively across research and contract review, combining advanced AI capability with expert human oversight to deliver both speed and accuracy.

What you’ll bring:

Weʼre open to a range of experience levels, whether you're mid-level or senior, as long as you have at least 4 years of commercial experience in full-stack development, along with:

• Proven experience with statically typed languages (ideally Typescript)
• Strong understanding of SOLID design principles
• Skilled in front-end frameworks/technologies such as modern React & NextJs
• Proficient in writing tests using Vitest and Playwright (or equivalent)
• Comfortable working with back-end technologies such as the Node.js ecosystem, SQL, & Docker
• Rest API design and 3rd party integrations
• A passion for writing clean, reliable, and maintainable code
• Curious about the evolving landscape of AI & LLMs

You are the type of person who

• Is not just a doer. You think about the user with every technical decision you make. Always questioning the who, what, where, when and why.
• Writes pragmatic and simple code that achieves the desired commercial outcome.
• You understand the trade-offs between quality and velocity and have a track record of striking the right balance
• You are clear and concise in your verbal and written communication
• You are passionate about making products or services that help people.
• You're at peak satisfaction when you find users are happy with your products.

LawY is an inclusive, people-first company committed to breaking down institutional barriers that keep people from reaching their potential. If you meet some, but not all the requirements above, we encourage you to still submit your application.
