Founding Engineer

The legal system fails most people. It's too expensive to access lawyers, takes too long to resolve anything, and those braving the system alone win less often.

This leads to a society where those with power can continue to ignore the law, knowing that few people actually enforce their rights. It's a systemic problem, which we believe is only now possible to solve due to advancements in technology.

We're the first company setting out to make legal services an order of magnitude faster, easier, and more accessible for everyone.

The Role

As a Founding Engineer, you'll help craft the platform that connects millions of people in the UK with just outcomes to tough situations. You'll shape technical direction, establish our engineering practices, and be hands-on building. This is greenfield work in a challenging and rewarding space. We're not building incremental improvements, the goal is to reimagine how a massive industry serves the public. We are exceptionally ambitious in our vision, and looking for those who match this energy.

You'll be working directly with the founders, Michael and Miles.

• Michael: UCL Law graduate with 7 years in legaltech, including roles as Head of Customer Experience, Full-Stack developer, and Engineering manager at SeedLegals.
• Miles: Imperial geophysics graduate and chartered accounted, previously Co-Founder at Revenir (YC W20), with tenure at OakNorth, and PwC.

Must Haves

• You must be open to work in-person in London. We can be flexible, but we value in-person collaboration. We are in the office 4-6 days/week currently, and we prioritise candidates who are able to match this too.
• You must have experience working on production codebases. We don't care how long, or whether it's indie hacking, open source, or a Fortune 500, but we're looking for experience that goes beyond side projects. Show us what you've shipped.
• You must be a very good engineer who's committed to becoming a great engineer. The slope is more important than the Y-intercept.
• You must be formidable. You stop at nothing to accomplish your goal. We care less about your current skills and more that you'll be able to tackle anything you set your mind to.
• You must be pragmatic. Something will always be on fire, you need to know when to let little fires burn and when to break out the extinguisher. We value a bias for shipping, and require you to move at the pace of an early stage startup.
• You must care. It is particularly hard to build a company which is both successful and does good, we are uncompromising on our mission, and so need everyone at Remedy to be on the same page about the importance of what we're doing.
