Founding Engineer

Founding Engineer Moritz is an AI-native law firm, YC-backed and seed-funded. We pair elite legal counsel with state-of-the-art technology to deliver work faster and more reliably than lawyers or software could alone. Most legal tech sells tools to law firms; we're building the firm around the technology instead. Lawyers and engineers sit on the same team, working the same problems. You'll join as a Founding Engineer with broad responsibility across building product, helping scale the team, and shaping engineering processes. The role is intended to carry leadership responsibility from the start, while remaining hands-on technically. What you'll do Ship. Architecture, code review, and the hardest features — this is the bulk of the job. Own delivery without trading away quality, stability, or security. Help hire, onboard, and grow the engineering team as it scales. Shape how engineering runs: planning cadence, review, standards. Make AI-first development work — coding agents, evals, and the guardrails that keep speed from costing quality or security. Who we're looking for Someone from a high-growth startup who's helped scale a product and a team through a period of real growth, and wants to do it again with funding behind them. You ship with AI as a core part of how you work, and you've hired and grown engineers before.
