We’re partnering with a bootstrapped, early-stage legal tech startup on a mission to transform how the legal industry operates and they’re looking for a Founding Engineer to help build it from the ground up.

Why this role stands out:

This isn’t just another engineering job, we're looking for a 0>1 IC who'll take full technical ownership of the product shaping architecture, defining engineering culture, and building solutions to real-world legal challenges. You’ll join early enough to have true influence on product and direction.

Tech Stack:

Python | TypeScript | Next.js | React | GCP | AI-native systems

Working setup:

London (3 days in-office)

Compensation:

Up to £140,000 + meaningful early-stage equity

What they’re looking for:

• 5+ years of engineering experience
• Strong full-stack capability
• Someone who thrives with autonomy and takes pride in what they build
• A builder mindset comfortable making decisions and owning outcomes

If you’re excited by ownership, impact, and building something from zero to one, this is a rare opportunity to step into a true founding role.

Interested or know someone who might be? Get in touch.
