What You'll Do
Legal work is becoming agentic, and the firms that win will be the ones whose AI actually understands the substance of their matters. NetDocuments sits on the context layer of the legal industry — the documents, matters, and relationships that constitute the working memory of a law firm. Our products increasingly turn that position into structured, permission-aware legal intelligence: maps of matters, semantic layers, and agentic capabilities that let AI start work already understanding what a matter is about, rather than re-reading five thousand documents to figure it out.
NetDocuments is seeking a Manager of Legal Engineering to own the substantive legal quality of that intelligence — and to build the discipline of legal engineering inside our R&D organization.
This is not a sales engineering or customer-facing solutions role. This is a build role at the center of R&D. You will be the lawyer in the room when we decide what an agent needs to know about a litigation matter versus an M&A deal versus a regulatory investigation — and you will encode that judgment into schemas, skills, and evaluation harnesses that ship in production. A pure technologist would model a matter one way; you know that a litigation matter lives and dies on its claims, parties, key events, and procedural posture, and you can express that knowledge in a form an agent can use.
You'll operate as a player-coach: a senior individual contributor who also builds and leads a small, special-forces team of legal engineers, working across every product team in R&D.
You will:
- Own how NetDocuments structures legal knowledge. Define what must be captured, structured, and surfaced for different matter types and practice areas across products like our Legal Context Graph, improving substantive outcomes for legal professionals, efficiency, and comprehensiveness across the full breadth of legal work.
- Build the evaluation discipline for legal AI at NetDocuments. Design and run evaluation harnesses that define what "good" looks like for legal work product, briefs, analyses, extractions, and agent outputs, and prove with rigor that each iteration of our products is better than the last.
- Develop our legal skill strategy. Author, test, and validate the skills (structured, executable do
