You will be designing and building the core systems that power AI for some of the most expert users in AIBudget for learning and professional growthBi-annual team retreatsWork closely with experienced founders and a team of AI scientists and engineersAbout the opportunity: Legal AI has caught the attention of VCs and the wider tech world, but the reality is adoption with users is low in the enterprise, with roughly 20% of lawyers using AI tech. Of those lawyers, most are transactional or contract lawyers and they use generalist platforms that look to aggregate the tasks lawyers do but do not go deep into specific workflows. That's where Wexler is different. We are a 'scalpel' rather than a 'Swiss Army knife', meaning we go deep into the workflows that can decide how a legal case is won. We have extremely positive feedback from lawyers, and we have an ambitious roadmap of features to expand our coverage while retaining the forensic detail that makes our product great.Note:If you think you don't quite fit the bill but you'd still be interested in chatting for a different role, get in touch at careers@wexler.ai.#J-18808-Ljbffr Similar jobs, Job Description Founding Engineer Basics - Up to £100k + generous, early-hire equity. - Impactful mission: your work will directly improve the lives of vulnerable children. - Ownership and responsibility: lead engineering and shape the product from the ground up. - Work..., Founding Engineer - Early-Stage Deep Tech Startup Full-time | Onsite in London £180,000 + Substantial Equity An early-stage, stealth-mode startup is looking for a Founding Engineer to join the team in central London.
