We are rethinking how people and companies interact with contracts. We are serial entrepreneurs backed by Berkeley SkyDeck, Plug&Play VC, Rockstart and LexLab at UC Hastings. We are a Machine Learning startup based in California and we are looking for a motivated Head of Engineering for a legal AI product. About us Have you ever signed a contract but not really understood what it said? Us too. Contracts are the foundation of all commerce, but they’re basically impossible to understand. They’re dense and filled with jargon. Oftentimes, they’re literally written in Latin . SpeedLegal SaaS platform helps busy professionals e.g. sales people and buyer close deals 3X faster (200% revenue accelerator) and save $60k-140k in legal fees when reviewing contracts.

It is not our belief that individuals should assume a management role if they do not possess a passion for it, but if you do, opportunities for managerial positions such as Tech Lead Engineer, Engineering Manager, or Director will be accessible. Moreover, we have observed that numerous founding engineers have excelled as product managers, and this is certainly an option for you at SpeedLegal. Location: The position is of a hybrid nature. As a small startup, we wish to remain adaptable, but currently, we place a significant emphasis on spending time collectively to brainstorm and promptly refine our product. We offer a compensation package consisting of a competitive base salary, determined by your experience. In addition, you will receive a significant initial equity grant (between 0.1% to 0.5%) in our company as you will be one of the initial employees.
