New York Manhattan Hybrid 3 days onsite per week

$170-200k base salary + bonus + benefits

My client is a fast-growing global legal technology business building AI-powered products that help law firms and in-house legal teams analyse, classify and extract information from complex legal documents.

They are seeking 2-3 Senior or Lead level Engineers with 5+ years’ commercial software engineering experience and strong .NET expertise to build and scale production AI systems at the heart of their platform. AI is central to the product, with a focus on LLM orchestration, document extraction, classification, ranking and intelligent automation.

• Design and optimise LLM workflows, prompts and structured outputs.
• Develop evaluation, validation and observability frameworks.

• Strong .NET, C#, ASP.NET Core and Azure expertise.
• Experience delivering production AI or LLM-powered applications.
• Knowledge of prompt engineering, LLM orchestration and AI observability.
• Understanding of distributed systems and cloud-native architectures.

Hybrid New York role with strong flexibility, offering the opportunity to shape a rapidly growing AI platform transforming legal workflows. Sponsorship is not available for this role currently.
