Legal AI Architect

About This Opportunity: 

We believe the future of law will be built by AI-Native Law Firms: firms managed, scaled, and optimized by intelligent systems rather than manual processes and administrative drag. As a Legal AI Architect, you're the person who builds that future firm by firm, whether that means a firm's first agents, a practice area they haven't touched yet, or a deployment that stalled and needs to get back on track. You go on-site with plaintiff law firms, case type by case type, and build the AI infrastructure that becomes part of how they practice every day. You map how work actually moves through a firm, architect the specific agents that will deliver the highest ROI toward making that firm AI-Native, and build them out, then prove the result in numbers the firm already cares about: cases per attorney, cycle time, revenue per matter.

This is both a build role and an advisory one. You tell a firm what to prioritize and why, then build it yourself and stay until it's real.

Location and travel: Remote-based, with regular travel to client sites for on-site engagements. 50%+ required.

What You Will Accomplish:

1. Own engagements across an assigned book of plaintiff law firms, whatever stage they're at when you're called in: discover how the firm actually operates, architect the agents that fit, and activate their people to use and build on those agents themselves, leaving behind a transformed, AI-native firm
2. Get every firm to their first full wave of live agents, sized to their actual practice, and develop at least one internal builder who can keep building after you leave
3. Move firms from light usage into firms where agents are deployed across most of their practice, with the shift showing up in usage data, not just conversation
4. Build reusable workflow maps, agent specs, and playbook patterns that make each new engagement faster than the last
5. Leave your engagement portfolio in strong enough shape for the CSM to convert accounts into referenceable ones, and earn enough trust with senior attorneys that every engagement has a clear internal owner early on

What We Are Looking For:

• A structured discovery instinct: you map how work actually happens before you propose anything, and you can tell a real workflow from what an org chart says the workflow is
• Comfortable as both advisor and builder: you tell a firm what to prioritize and why, then configure it yourself rather than handing off a spec for someone else to build
• Customer Buy-In: you can hold your ground with a senior attorney or managing partner and drive a change they didn't ask for
• Outcomes fluency: you think and talk in numbers (utilization, cycle time, cases per attorney), not "it went well"
• Comfort building something from an undefined mandate: this function is still being defined, and you'll define as much as you execute
• A law degree, or a functional equivalent: rigorous training in a regulated, high-stakes analytical field (consulting, professional services, accounting or audit, for example) where you learned to earn credibility fast

Nice to Haves:

• Consulting or professional services background
• Experience in a fast-scaling, ambiguous startup environment
• Direct plaintiff PI, mass tort, or employment litigation experience
