Are you passionate about AI and eager to work on groundbreaking projects? Do you want to be a part of a rock-star team in a promising startup, collaborate with industry leaders and make a real impact in the legal landscape? Here's your chance!


You will

  • Tailor your own role that spans across the entire stack based on what you know and what you want to learn

Who you are

  • Skilled: You have a proven track record of developing both the front- and back-end of reliable products and you are not afraid of responsibility for important and mission-critical software.

You’re a problem solver who’s not afraid to come up with creative solutions and think holistically about software architecture. You are curious and passionate about writing good software, and you’re ambitious about learning and improving yourself as an engineer.

  • Autonomous: Although constantly working in a team we believe in self leadership and ownership! You value feedback, take initiative without needing direction, and focus on outcomes. You are not afraid to try new things and learn from your mistakes rather than play it safe.

  • Entrepreneurial: Leya is an ambitious start-up. Things move fast, tasks and challenges may be demanding, and responsibilities may change over time. But you’ll get to work with a team of brilliant and dedicated people that are all working to solve difficult problems and really change how legal work is done.

Leya

The next few years will bring a revolution in how we interact with computers. It’s not just chat; more things are coming in AI than ever previously thought possible. We’re bringing it to lawyers because they deal with lots of text daily, and because frankly, they deserve delightful software. We are fast-moving, highly ambitious, love shipping, and deeply care for our users. We are on a rocket trajectory, live with 1000s of lawyers, and the biggest firms in several markets, backed by Benchmark, SV Angel, and Y Combinator, and are having a blast doing it.
