About the position
We are seeking a creative bilingual backend engineer to join the team behind CoCounsel.

CoCounsel is already capable of writing legal research memos, summarizing and reviewing documents, and red-lining contracts, just to name a few capabilities--all in minutes, not days or weeks. And we're just getting started. As a Software Engineer, Legal Prompter, you will develop Python code as well as Spanish prose prompts to LLMs to help expand CoCounsel's early success and localize CoCounsel to the LATAM legal market. This mix of writing instructions for an interpreter and an LLM is well-suited for someone who can produce reliable backend code, and can also write creative, lucid, and effective prose instructions.
