Legal AI Engineer (Berlin or Leipzig)

About the Position

Legal AI Engineer (Berlin or Leipzig)

Legartis is on a mission: to unlock legal work at scale.

We set the standard for AI-powered contract work by offering a platform that changes how legal teams work, from drafting through negotiation to completion. We are now looking for the person who turns what customers actually need into what our AI actually does.

Joining Legartis is not taking a job, you take ownership. We are a team of product builders and lawyers, who do not chase hype; we build substance. If you are a lawyer who builds, someone who has stopped waiting for better tools and started making them, this is your moment and your place.

Send us your CV, a short note on why Legartis, and links to anything you have built or published.

Responsibilities

• Translate customer reality into engineering requirements - and into revenue. You sit in customer and expert calls alongside Sales, not as a note-taker but as the person who understands the legal work.
• Build the skills yourself. You write, test, and ship agent skills and playbooks that solve real customer workflows.
• Make it repeatable, and therefore sellable. Anything you build once for one customer, you turn into something Sales and Customer Success can run without you.
• Be the legal authority in the building. Legal and compliance questions land with you: contract reviews, customer security and data protection questions, the occasional in-house matter.

Requirements

• Technical track record. You have built things and they exist and ideally you have published some of it. You are fluent with LLMs, Scripting, Git, and APIs.
• Legal foundation. A law degree with a commercial-contracts focus: German-qualified (Bachelor, Master, or Staatsexamen) or an equivalent qualification from another jurisdiction.
• Commercial and entrepreneurial track record. You have carried commercial responsibility for something of your own: a freelance client base, a legal tech product, or a company you started.
• Language. Excellent German and English. German is non-negotiable: our customers are DACH legal teams and the nuance lives in their language.

We Offer

• Impact over hype. You define a new discipline at the intersection of law, product, and AI. Your work directly shapes how thousands of legal professionals will operate.
• No silos. You sit between Product, Engineering, and the customer, with a direct line to all three.
• We invest in you. The enterprise motion (multi-stakeholder pilots, procurement cycles, security reviews) is teachable, and we teach it: side by side in real customer calls from week one.
• Real ownership. Competitive salary and employee stock options (ESOP).
• Build in public. We want you to keep publishing what you build, because it makes you better and it makes us visible.
• Offices in Berlin, Leipzig, and Zurich with a flexible hybrid setup. Regular apéros, lunches, and hiking trips as we enjoy the journey together.
