You join as a founding team member — shape the product, tech, and culture from the ground up

— The Role

More than code.
A founding mission.

We're disrupting the legal industry. Agentic AI agents automate the entire legal workflow for real estate transactions, while keeping lawyers in control with human-in-the-loop oversight. We eliminate the manual, repetitive work that bogs down legal teams and create a seamless experience for real estate professionals and their clients.

As Founding Engineer, you will take our MVP to a scalable, market-ready product. This isn't just about writing code, you'll shape the technical vision, make foundational architecture decisions, and establish the engineering culture that will scale with the team.

You'll work directly with our in-house legal team to translate complex legal workflows into elegant, secure, automated systems. Every line you ship affects real families closing on their homes.
