FoundingCTO–AILegalTech

ABOUT THE COMPANY Our client is an early-stage, San Francisco-based AI startup building the operating system for family law. Their platform automates the most time-intensive parts of legal practice — client intake, financial disclosures, document preparation, case management, and client collaboration — helping family law firms modernize and scale without adding headcount. Founded in 2025, the company is already working with real customers and actively closing a seed round, with $XM signed to date.   THE MISSION To reduce the emotional and financial burden of divorce for millions of families — and empower the legal professionals who serve them — by transforming a fragmented, manual process into a guided, intelligent, AI-driven experience.   THE OPPORTUNITY This is a co-founder seat, not a hire. You're joining at the inflection point: real product, real customers, seed round closing. As the first technical leader, you'll own the full stack — architecture, AI infrastructure, engineering culture, and execution velocity. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with the founding team to define how AI reshapes one of the largest, most underserved verticals in legal services. If you've been waiting for a founding opportunity where the market is real, the mission matters, and the equity is worth the bet — this is it.   WHAT YOU'LL DO - Own and define end-to-end technical architecture of the platform - Write and ship production code daily alongside the founding team - Architect and scale AI agent infrastructure for legal workflows — billing, financial layers, document automation, collections, and client collaboration - Build and scale the engineering team from scratch — hiring, mentoring, and establishing culture - Partner with founders on product roadmap, fundraising narrative, and company strategy - Ensure security, compliance, and scalability of a document-heavy, regulated-industry platform - Drive rapid iteration cycles and maintain startup velocity through seed close and beyond
