We’re building the future of AI-powered legal tech — including one of the world’s first AI lawyers, built on a fine-tuned LLM's and novel AI research


We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help us bring cutting-edge machine learning into the hands of real users at scale. You’ll be part of a mission-driven team using AI to make legal help radically more accessible.


Backed by top-tier VCs and a substantial Series A funding round, we’re growing fast — and we want brilliant engineers to grow with us.


🛠️ What you’ll be working on:

  • Building robust, production-ready APIs and services that deliver AI functionality across our platform
  • Scaling AI systems for real-world legal use cases (document analysis, case prediction, automated advice)
  • Collaborating with AI researchers and engineers to deploy models into production
  • Working with event-driven architectures and async workflows to handle large-scale AI tasks
  • Ensuring observability, reliability, and compliance in high-stakes environments


👩‍💻 You should have:

  • Strong Python skills and experience building scalable backend systems
  • Solid understanding of API design and distributed architectures
  • Familiarity with event-driven tools (e.g., Kafka, Pub/Sub, AWS Step Functions)
  • Experience working with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP)
  • A proactive approach to performance, observability, and debugging


✨ Bonus points for:

  • ML Ops experience or experience deploying ML models to production
  • Familiarity with vector databases or AI model serving


💡 Our engineering culture:

  • Ship daily – we release fast and iterate even faster
  • Empathise with users – we build for lawyers and clients with deeply human problems
  • Strive for excellence – we want to build a generational company, and that means high standards
  • Experiment and learn – we’re on the frontier of applied AI, and we’re always testing new ideas
  • Remote-friendly

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in AI Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers do not start by reading your CV line-by-line. They scan for signals. In AI roles especially, they are looking for proof that you can ship, learn fast, communicate clearly & work safely with data and systems. The best applications make those signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
