We are on a mission to transform the legal services industry by building cutting edge AI-powered solutions. We are a team of software engineers, lawyers and designers working hard to achieve our long-term mission.
We are seeking a Senior Platform Engineer (Conversation Engineering Specialist) with a strong background in designing and implementing chatbot frameworks and building cloud native solutions. We are hiring for a highly collaborative and high performance senior engineering-only team. A great candidate would specialize in building highly performant real-time chat systems. Experience with designing and creating backends for hybrid chat-bots (combining LLMs and rule-based approaches) will be a huge plus.

Lead with humility, collaborate, and help flesh out the best solutions with a high performance senior engineering team.
Lead the design, development, and maintenance of our platform backend using Python.
Help design and implement cloud native solutions.
Apply advanced system design patterns and architectures to ensure high performance, reliability, robustness and scalability of the platform.
Balance short term wins and long term gains.
Help design the backend for an AI-chat platform, including architecting cloud infrastructure and deployable frameworks, that seamlessly integrate and invoke several backend microservices, AI-agents, internal and external APIs – always optimizing for max efficiency.
Conduct code reviews to maintain high-quality code.
Building backend frameworks and implementations that allow tying multiple products together into a chat-like interface.

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, and/or a related field.
~5+ years experience as a Platform Engineer / Backend Engineer or a similar role, specifically with Conversation Engineering. Hands-on experience with chat systems and real-time communication technologies.
~ Extensive experience with Python programming, design patterns, async programming and familiarity with basic data analysis tools such as pandas, numpy, etc.
~5+ years experience in cloud native development using Amazon Web Services (AWS).
~ Experience with AI-driven chat tools like Google Dialog-flow, IBM Watson, or creating a custom chat platform.
~ Strong knowledge of data structures and algorithms.
~ Experience with databases and Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) frameworks.
~ Experience with AI and Machine Learning.
We are a dynamic team of engineers bringing together iterative NLP model development, high performance systems engineering and effective software development. As a startup we often have to find a balance between speed, quality and cost of development. We are ambitious, we take risks, and we embrace failure in a judgment free but accountable environment.
We work in a trust-based, mission-driven, goal-oriented, fully-remote work environment. We enable each other, but also consciously protect our time to deliver high quality work, to help create a thriving innovation culture.

Additional paid time off winter holidays (last week of December)
Company-wide innovation days – dedicated to projects you’d like to innovate on within the context of the work the company is doing
Hybrid work environment (flexible). Easy public transit access to office in downtown Toronto
