Design, build, and optimize generative AI, RAG, and agentic RAG systems for drafting, search, and reasoning. Improve LLM outputs via prompt design, retrieval optimization, embeddings, reranking, and evaluation. Develop production-grade ML components and retrieval pipelines using OpenSearch/Solr, write maintainable Python code, and collaborate with engineering, product, and domain teams to improve relevance, accuracy, and user trust.
Are you excited to shape the next generation of AI‑powered drafting and search experiences at scale?
Do you want to work on advanced Generative AI systems that turn complex information into clear, trusted insights?
About our Team
You will join a multidisciplinary team of data scientists, engineers, and product partners focused on building intelligent, reliable, and responsible AI solutions for legal and business professionals. We work collaboratively, value thoughtful experimentation, and prioritize high‑quality, production‑ready outcomes.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
