Legal AI, LLMs, Document Intelligence, Multi-Agent Systems

I'm working with an elite US law firm that is building one of the most advanced in-house AI teams in the legal sector. They're not dabbling in legal tech; they're redesigning how legal work is done, backed by serious investment and a world-class practice.

• Developing document classifiers, contract analysers and end-to-end intelligence pipelines

• Designing evaluation frameworks and optimising model performance

• Turning complex legal data into high-quality, structured datasets

• Collaborating with engineers and legal specialists to build tools that genuinely shift workloads

What they're looking for:

• Strong ML fundamentals and hands-on LLM experience

• Proficiency in Python and familiarity with modern AI tooling (e.g. embeddings, retrieval, multi-agent architectures, document understanding)

• Experience building or shipping real AI systems

• Interest in legal workflows (no legal background required)

Bonus experience:

• NLP on long-form or structured documents

• LangChain/LangGraph, LlamaIndex, Hugging Face

• Cloud (AWS/Azure), MLOps, vector databases

• Experience in fast-paced AI environments or start-ups
