Applied AI Engineer (founding role, equity-based)

Juris is building AI-native software for legal and compliance work.

This is an early, equity-based founding-team role for someone who wants meaningful ownership, real influence, and the opportunity to help build both product and company from an early stage.

We are looking for a pragmatic Applied AI Engineer to work closely with our CTO and founders and become a core technical builder in the team.

The role

This is a broad, hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys building in ambiguity and wants to help shape both product and company.

You will work across whatever matters most as Juris develops — from AI systems and backend architecture to APIs, product features, integrations, and technical problem-solving more broadly.

Our CTO remains responsible for the overall technical direction, architecture, and technical leadership. This role is about adding strong hands-on engineering and applied AI capability within that setup.

We think you’ll be a fit if you

• are a strong engineer with solid technical fundamentals

• are excited by applied AI and how it becomes real product

• are pragmatic, hands-on, and comfortable across a broad scope

• are product-minded and enjoy working closely with founders

• thrive in ambiguity and like building early

• are collaborative, thoughtful, and low-ego

You do not need to come from legal tech specifically, but you should be excited by building in a complex domain and turning difficult workflows into great software.

Why join

• meaningful ownership from an early stage

• close collaboration with the CTO and founders

• broad scope and real influence on what gets built

• the chance to help shape both product and company

Compensation

This is an equity-based founding-team opportunity with meaningful long-term upside. The exact structure will depend on experience, commitment, and profile.
