The business is in strong shape with $1.3M in annualised services revenue, $650K invoiced in just six months, with the founder confident in a path to $5M+ within the year.


💡 Why this role stands out:

This isn’t just another engineering job, we're looking for a 0>1 IC who'll take full technical ownership of the product shaping architecture, defining engineering culture, and building solutions to real-world legal challenges. You’ll join early enough to have true influence on product and direction.

💰 Compensation:

Up to £140,000 + meaningful early-stage equity


🔍 What they’re looking for:

  • 5+ years of engineering experience
  • Strong full-stack capability
  • Someone who thrives with autonomy and takes pride in what they build
  • A builder mindset comfortable making decisions and owning outcomes


If you’re excited by ownership, impact, and building something from zero to one, this is a rare opportunity to step into a true founding role.
