Legal 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 Legal Engineer, you'll help craft the platform that connects millions of people in the UK with just outcomes to tough situations. You'll shape our first legal offerings, engage directly with renters using our platform, and work directly with our engineering team to build that clarity into the product.

This is a chance to kick-start your legal career in a purpose-led business, at the forefront of technology in legal services.

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 great communication skills. We work with complex areas of law, and our primary goal is making them accessible to everyone. This requires strong skills in communicating with clarity and empathy.
• 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 action, 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.
