Job Description

About You

You like problems with a clear objective , messy real-world constraints, and lots of room for cleverness.

If you’ve done competitive programming / optimization competitions , you’ll feel at home here: legal search is basically an optimization game where you trade off quality (F2/NDCG), latency (p95), and cost under strict correctness constraints (citations, traceability, jurisdiction). You’ll build scoring functions, retrieval pipelines, rerankers, and evaluation harnesses; and you’ll ship improvements that users notice immediately.

You enjoy:

  • Turning vague user intent into formal signals + algorithms
  • Designing fast, low-latency systems under tight budgets
  • Running ablations, debugging failure cases, and iterating quickly
  • Owning the full loop: idea → benchmark → ship → measure
