Founding Engineer, Applied AI

We’re looking for a smart, ambitious founding engineer, based in New York City, to build the future of contract negotiation with us.

As a Founding Engineer at Pincites, you’ll be responsible for the development and scaling of our web app and Word add-in, as well as new products crucial in automating contract negotiations. You’ll have a front-row seat at a fast-growth AI startup that ships daily, making contract review better for thousands of companies.

About Pincites

Pincites is an AI contract negotiation assistant for busy legal and procurement teams. Pincites accelerates contract redlining within Microsoft Word, offering AI-generated suggestions and comments tailored to client preferences.

With support from top investors like Nat Friedman, General Catalyst, Liquid 2 Ventures, and Y Combinator, we’ve generated significant annual recurring revenue and serve legal teams globally. We're on a high-growth trajectory, aiming to build a billion-dollar company.

We are venture-funded, in the seed stage, and assembling a world-class team. As an founding member of our team, you’ll join us on this exciting ride with a meaningful stake in the action.

Why Legal

AI for legal represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to tap into a $300B annual market in a traditional, highly profitable vertical ripe for automation. This is a wide-open, competitive market with big gains to the winner—we want you to help us remain in front. It’s hard to imagine a world where AI doesn’t completely change how companies approach contracts, and many legal teams now have mandates to incorporate AI (a quick scroll through a few legal job postings will prove my point).

About You

As a Founding Engineer at Pincites, you’ll work on building our core agent frameworks, innovating on how LLMs are used by the world's largest enterprises. You'll be testing, deploying, and scaling delightful AI experiences in addition to ensuring that our outputs are extremely high quality. This role is perfect for someone who is obsessed with language models and wants to spend their time becoming an expert in applied AI. You’ll have a front row seat at a fast growth AI startup that ships daily as we make contract review better for thousands of companies.

We’re looking for someone who takes pride in their work and wants to build something great.

• You’re passionate about quality. You’re excited about working with a team and customers who care about the details
• You have great product sense. You’re always thinking about the customer and how they’ll experience what you’re building
• You’re a self-starter. You love taking ownership, aren’t afraid of ambiguity, and are excited about the impact you can have at a startup
• You’re a great colleague. You go out of your work to have a positive impact on those around you

Our Founders

We’re led by a 3x product and engineering executive with 13 years of startup experience, with his most recent exit to Microsoft.
