Drive innovation in both our codebase and the legal tech industry as a whole.
Own mission-critical surfaces end-to-end from API to UI that lawyers use daily to review, draft, and advise.
Turn customer feedback into shippable specs and ship quickly, improving quality while shrinking lead time for change.
Raise the reliability bar (observability, testing, fallbacks) so complex AI features behave predictably in high-stakes moments.
