Everlaw is looking for a Senior Software Engineer, AI Platform with experience building and operating AI platform capabilities that power user-facing software in complex ecosystems.

You’ll work directly with product and platform partners as needed to ship AI platform features that matter.
We build with a high sense of urgency, with respect for the profound opportunity ahead of us, but don’t rely on sprints or made-up deadlines to motivate results; code quality and maintainability are paramount. At our core, we enjoy the creative process of building systems that are reliable, reproducible, explainable, scalable, and secure. We do this by empowering our team members, tackling challenging and complex engineering problems, and providing mentoring, coaching, and comprehensive feedback.
