Role Overview

We're seeking a backend-focused Fullstack Developer who has mastered the art of building with AI. This isn't just another development role – we need someone who lives and breathes AI‑augmented development, using tools like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and v0 as extensions of their thinking. You'll be building our legal tech platform, creating secure client portals and enterprise‑grade systems that leverage AI at every level. If you've worked at companies like Replit, Vercel, or similar AI‑native organizations, you'll understand exactly how we operate. Key Responsibilities

Design and build scalable backend architectures

for client/lawyer portals and B2B enterprise systems, with a focus on security, performance, and maintainability Deliver end‑to‑end business value

to accelerate delivery – from code generation to automated testing to architecture decisions Collaborate with stakeholders

to translate complex legal workflows into intuitive digital experiences Optimize development velocity

by selecting and implementing the right tools, frameworks, and AI assistants for each task What Sets You Apart

You don't just use AI tools – you think in AI‑augmented workflows. While others debate whether AI will replace developers, you're already 10x more productive by treating AI as your pair programmer. You've likely contributed to or built tools that help other developers work with AI. You understand that the future of development isn't about memorizing syntax but about architecting solutions and guiding AI to implement them flawlessly. Your GitHub history shows not just code, but evidence of rapid iteration and AI‑assisted development patterns. Required Qualifications
