Full Job Description
FORWARD DEPLOYED ENGINEER Aussie Engineer looking to make the move to the US? Join us and build the AI platform that's rewriting a $50B industry Salary range - $180-220k USD + Equity + Benefits + Relocation Assistance + US Sponsorship ABOUT HAAST We're building one of the first agentic systems for enterprise legal and compliance teams that actually automates their manual work. End-to-end. Delivering 80% faster compliance reviews and 4x productivity gains. We recently closed a $12M USD Series A (Peak XV Partners, DST Global, Airtree) and are growing fast in the US; building the infrastructure that will completely re-define how enterprises think about compliance. Think Canva for design. Atlassian for projects. Haast for compliance. THE PROBLEM Compliance is a $50B global challenge. Enterprise legal and compliance teams spend a significant amount of time manually reviewing documents against policy, spotting regulatory risk, and signing off on content before go-to-market. It's painful and it's mission-critical. We're building the infrastructure that makes this manageable at scale. You'll be working on systems that directly reduce risk and unlock productivity for some of the world's largest organisations. THE ROLE As our first US based Engineer; you'll be the technical bridge between our product vision and our customers' reality. You're a full-stack engineer who thrives at the intersection of innovation and execution, building our platform while staying connected to the teams actually using it. You'll split your time between heads-down building (shipping code that matters) and being engaged with customers, understanding their pain points firsthand, iterating on features in real-time, and using that feedback to shape our product direction. You'll own end-to-end technical decisions: designing systems, shipping to production, and iterating based on direct customer interaction. This is high-autonomy work. You'll collaborate directly with our founding team, move at star
