Legal Engineer

<h2><strong>Wordsmith</strong></h2><p style="min-height:1.5em">Wordsmith is building the legal operating system for in-house teams, and we are growing fast.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">We believe in-house legal is becoming one of the most important functions in the AI era. Every business is moving faster, but legal work is still too often scattered across inboxes, chats, documents and disconnected systems.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">Wordsmith brings that work into one system. Requests come in from across the business, AI agents handle the routine, lawyers stay in control where judgement matters, and every step is captured as work happens.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">We are built for in-house legal, not law firms. Our goal is to help legal teams move faster, reduce unnecessary external counsel spend and become a function the business can run with.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">More than 500 companies, including Financial Times, Safelite, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://Trip.com">Trip.com</a>, Canva, Starling and Sage, use Wordsmith. Backed by over $100M from Index Ventures, General Catalyst, Highland Europe and others, we are building <strong>one of the defining companies in legal AI</strong>.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><h2><strong>The role</strong></h2><p style="min-height:1.5em">Legal Engineers turn the product into real outcomes for customers.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">You’ll work with customers after purchase to design, configure, and implement legal workflows inside Wordsmith. This role sits close to the customer, helping them embed the platform into how their legal function actually operates.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">It’s part implementation, part problem solving, and part advisory. You’ll combine legal understanding with product knowledge to help customers get meaningful value from the platform.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">This is a technical, hands-on role. You don’t need to be a lawyer, and we’re not necessarily looking for one. We’re looking for analytical thinkers who are comfortable with technology and ideally have deployed legal tech before — people who can understand how a legal team works, then build the system that supports it. Where the work turns on legal judgement, we already have lawyers as part of the team who can bring the legal expertise.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"></p><h2><strong>What you’ll do</strong></h2><h3><strong>1.
