From the original posting

Joining Legora means three things.

We lean in: ownership over titles, outcomes over intentions.

The Role

We are seeking a tech-savvy lawyer with knowledge of, or a strong interest in tech products, AI and LLM evaluations.

Apply your legal training and practice experience to evaluate, stress-test, and improve AI systems used in legal work. You will not be expected to code, but will apply legal judgment at scale. You would be reviewing and helping to improve AI-generated outputs as an experienced lawyer would review junior work, precedents, or research memos.

This role is ideal for a lawyer who enjoys issue-spotting, quality control, and analytical rigor, and is eager to shape how legal work is performed using modern technology.

You will collaborate closely with senior legal engineers, product managers, and engineers to ensure AI outputs meet professional standards for legal accuracy, reasoning, and usability.

What You Will Be Doing

Legal Review & Evaluations

Review AI-generated legal outputs for accuracy, completeness, legal reasoning, and jurisdictional correctness across research, drafting, and analysis use cases.
Assess outputs for real-world usability and identify failure modes, edge cases, and legal ambiguities that affect product reliability.

Dataset & Benchmark Development

Design and build high-quality evaluation datasets, including benchmark cases and gold-standard legal answers.
Define clear scoring rubrics and evaluation guidelines for consistent, objective assessment.
Continuously refine benchmarks as products, models, and legal requirements evolve.

Error Analysis & Insight Generation

Identify recurring legal errors, edge cases, and failure patterns.
Distinguish minor drafting issues from substantive legal risks.
Flag AI behavior that could mislead users or create downstream legal risk.

Collaboration & Feedback

Work closely with senior legal engineers, product managers, and engineers.
Translate legal feedback into clear, actionable guidance for non-lawyers.

What This Role Is Not

No production coding required.
No provision of legal advice to clients.
No traditional billable work.

Instead, you will use your legal training to define, evaluate, and safeguard legal quality at scale.
