Applied AI Specialist, Legal Engineering
Legora · Sydney, New South Wales
We’re looking for a proactive, hands-on AI specialist to help our APAC Legal Engineers do their best work: get up to speed on new features quickly, solve day-to-day challenges and turn great work into resources the whole team can reuse.
About Us
Legora is redefining how legal work gets done. Not built for lawyers, built with them. We work alongside the world’s best legal teams, who expect excellence, precision, and speed, and we hold ourselves to the same bar.
Our AI-native workspace lets legal professionals move faster, think more clearly, and operate with sharper precision. By analysing thousands of documents in minutes and powering end-to-end workflows, we cut through complexity so teams can focus on what matters: judgment, strategy, and outcomes.
2,100+ customers across 80+ countries trust us, including HSF Kramer, MinterEllison, Allens, HWLE Lawyers, Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to $200M+ in ARR, with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI, Graceview, Cadastral, and Wexler.
We partner with world-class performers: including Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees, Ludvig Åberg (and his caddie), and campaigns featuring Jude Law.
Joining Legora means three things.
- We lean in: ownership over titles, outcomes over intentions.
- We fight for excellence: high standards, direct, ego-free feedback.
- We grow together: as a team and with our customers.
Mission before ego. Everyone contributes. No one coasts.
If you’re driven by impact, pace, and raising the bar, this is the place.
Our Legal Engineers sit at the centre of how law firms and legal teams adopt Legora. Across APAC, a team of 20+ Legal Engineers runs pilots, designs workflows and helps lawyers get real value from AI. We’re hiring someone to make that team faster, sharper and ready for whatever we ship next.
As Applied AI Specialist, Legal Engineering for APAC, you will support our Legal Engineering team across our APAC offices (currently Sydney, Bangalore, Singapore, Tokyo and Seoul) and report directly to our Senior Director, Legal Engineering (APAC). This is a foundational role: you’ll build the tools, systems and habits that help every Legal Engineer in the region do their best work.
What You’ll Do
Build the Legal Engineering Toolkit
- Build and maintain the Skills, agents, prompt libraries, templates and demo environments our Legal Engineers use every day, across Legora, Notion and AI tools such as Claude and ChatGPT.
- Turn the team’s best work into reusable resources, using AI agents and automation to keep them current, organised and easy to find.
Get the Team Ready for Every Release
- Get across new Legora features and integrations quickly. Work with teams to gather and simplify guidance, test practical use cases, and turn them into clear instructions, demo scripts and short sessions the team can use within days.
- Run quality checks on demos and workflows so the team shows up consistent and credible in every client conversation.
Remove Friction
- Work closely with Legal Engineers to understand their current priorities, anticipate what they need and remove friction, whether through hands-on support, better resources or automation.
- Share what works with Legal Engineering teams in other regions, and feed product gaps back to Product.
Onboard and Level Up the Team
- Get new Legal Engineers productive fast, with onboarding that is hands-on rather than slide-heavy.
- Run certification and practice formats that keep the whole team sharp on product, AI and workflows across our APAC offices.
Who You Are
- 2+ years in an AI-heavy role, such as AI or automation engineering, solutions or forward-deployed engineering, technical enablement, or at an AI-native startup.
- Deeply AI literate. You know what today’s models can and can’t do, you use them every day, and you’re always testing what’s new.
- You’ve built real things with AI that other people rely on: agents, automations, internal tools or prompt systems.
- A proactive problem solver. You anticipate needs, take ownership and follow through for a highly capable team that moves fast and sets a high bar.
- A clear communicator who can explain technical ideas to lawyers and enjoys teaching.
- You thrive in a fast-moving, in-person team.
Bonus Points If…
- You have legal experience of any kind: a law degree, legal tech, legal operations, or working closely with lawyers.
- You can code (for example Python or JavaScript, or working with APIs).
- You’ve built onboarding, training or certification programs.
- You’re a strong Notion builder.
- You’ve worked across multiple offices or APAC markets.
