Job Description

About CORTO

We are CORTO, a cutting-edge software company dedicated to revolutionising the legal industry. Our mission is to empower legal practitioners with AI-driven solutions that streamline their workflow, boost productivity, and provide more efficient client service.

Our team of AI experts and engineers collaborate to develop intelligent software tailored to the unique needs of lawyers, paralegals, and legal assistants.

Our innovative AI solutions automate routine tasks, simplify document management, and enhance decision-making, allowing legal professionals to focus on what they do best—providing expert legal counsel.

We’re rapidly scaling from 80 to 150+ employees, with a highly technical workforce where around 90% of the team are developers and engineers. Working alongside our Sydney-based team of passionate high achievers, you’ll join a fast-growing technology business where things rarely stay the same for long - and if you’re smart, caring, and ambitious, you’ll be in great company.

What you’ll do

You’ll join a small but high-impact team sitting at the heart of CORTO’s AI product work. The role spans hands-on legal testing of AI agents, writing prompts for our product library, training global legal teams, and providing the practitioner’s perspective that makes everything we build actually useful to lawyers. If you’re looking for a legal role where every week looks different and your work directly shapes products used by thousands of lawyers – this is it.

To make this happen you will:

• Lead legal testing of AI models and agents – design and execute test plans covering real legal tasks (drafting affidavits, analysing correspondence, preparing subpoenas), evaluate outputs against professional standards, and report findings to the product team.
• Write and refine prompts for the LawY prompt library across practice areas – starting with family law, with scope across litigation, criminal law, and adjacent legal domains.
• Train and upskill LEAP content teams globally (Australia, UK, US) on AI prompting best practice, the latest developments in legal AI, and how to effectively demo LawY to legal practitioners.
• Attend LawY and AI workshops and represent Corto’s legal perspective – you’ll bring the practitioner’s voice to technical and product conversations.
• Collaborate with the product and engineering teams to map out matter types, legal stakeholders (barristers, mediators, family report writers, experts), and help build out the AI dashboard of prompts and research workflows.
• Review legal content produced by the marketing team – website copy, articles, white papers – and provide accuracy and compliance feedback.
• Support research for presentations, white papers, and blog content on legal AI trends, including topics like hallucinations, deepfakes, and the evolving regulatory landscape.
• Assist in developing dummy data and test datasets to support AI model evaluation across LEAP and LawY.
• Work closely with the legal product team to ensure testing and prompt feedback feeds directly into the product roadmap.

What you’ll bring:

• A Law degree (LLB or equivalent) and admission to practice in an Australian state or territory.
• 3+ years’ experience as a practising lawyer – family law or general practice strongly preferred; we’re not looking for specialists outside those areas.
• Demonstrated experience or genuine passion for AI tools in legal work – whether that’s professional experience with legal research platforms, document AI, or your own deep personal curiosity about what AI can and can’t do.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and rapid change – this team has gone through multiple product pivots and wears many hats; that kind of environment should excite rather than unsettle you.
• Strong written communication skills – you’ll be writing prompts, training materials, legal research summaries, and contributing to external-facing content.
• Ability to juggle competing priorities without dropping quality – some weeks are hours of legal testing; others are conference prep and global training calls.

You are the type of person who

• You get genuinely excited about what AI can (and can’t) do – and you want to be the person in the room who knows the answer.
• You thrive when priorities shift – LegalTech is evolving rapidly and that kind of change energises rather than unsettles you.
• You bring practical legal instincts to technical conversations – you don’t need to code, but you think like a product-minded lawyer.
• You like to juggle – a lot – and you do it well.

CORTO is an inclusive, people-first company committed to breaking down institutional barriers that keep people from reaching their potential. If you meet some, but not all the requirements above, we encourage you to still submit your application.
