Expect questions that mix engineering judgment with legal-domain care: how you’d model a litigation workflow, validate model outputs, handle confidential data, and partner with attorneys under time pressure. Prepare concise stories of ambiguous requirements turned into shipped tools.
Strong fit if you enjoy building software for high-stakes legal work, can operate in NYC on-site, and bridge lawyers and engineers without overclaiming legal advice. Thin public sentiment data means company culture should be validated in the interview.
