AI Software Engineer, Legal Prompting & LLM Dev.

About this role

Job Description:
The AI Software Engineer, Legal Prompting & LLM Development is responsible for building production-grade applications that interact with state-of-the-art Large Language Models (LLMs) to deliver cutting-edge, time-saving solutions to attorneys throughout our firm and in support of our clients. This role sits at the intersection of software engineering, prompt engineering, and emerging agentic AI infrastructure — building not just LLM-powered applications, but the surrounding ecosystem of tools, integrations, and protocols that allow AI to interact safely and effectively with legal workflows and firm data.


The AI Software Engineer will develop application code as well as English prose, persona-based prompts to LLMs, while also designing and operating the infrastructure that connects those models to the firm's systems, including Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, vector stores, APIs, and agent orchestration frameworks. Works primarily within the Microsoft technology stack (Azure, .NET, C#, SQL Server) and with languages such as TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, and other modern languages as needed, integrating with internal and third-party APIs to deliver production-grade solutions. Works across programming languages and can produce reliable backend code while also writing creative, lucid, and effective prose instructions. A remote work schedule is available for this position.
