About the Position

Midpage is the legal search engine quietly powering the largest AI and legal technology companies in the world.

We're hiring a Software Engineer to help build the largest case law dataset. Our data coverage includes US laws and court decisions and powers our lawyer-facing AI platform and B2B data services.

Responsibilities

• Building pipelines that augment documents with metadata, e.g., which decisions overrule another decision, which decisions are an appeal/remand/consolidation of another decision, etc. Our competitors still label these by humans making $300+/hr.
• Building systems to ensure the reliability and accuracy of hundreds of web scrapers.
• Optimizing and evaluating our core utils, which do things like extracting and resolving citations, determining which courts are able to overrule which other courts, etc.
• Exposing core services on our data via APIs, MCPs, websockets.
• Benchmarking and evaluation of core tasks (human and synthetic).

Requirements

• Technical generalists, definitely across the backend (bonus for fullstack).
• Comfortable working with data pipelines, including basic to intermediate infra/devops.
• Interest/experience with stats/ML/AI is a bonus, but not critical. You should be cautiously AI-pilled.
• Tech stack isn't critical, Python and SQL are core. Definitely be able to stand up your own projects on your preferred infra end-to-end.

Nice to Have

• Experience with the following technologies:
  • Python
  • PostgreSQL
  • ElasticSearch
  • Playwright
  • GCP
  • Pinecone
  • Prefect
  • NeonDB

We Offer
