About the Role

We’re looking for a smart, ambitious founding engineer, based in New York City, to build the future of contract negotiation with us. Please note that this is an in-person role, and you must be located in NYC.

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

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

Technical Skills

Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code.
Expertise in React and TypeScript.
3+ years of experience building and scaling successful software projects, ideally independently or as a part of a small team or early-stage startup.

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. His legal cofounder counterpart is an AI-obsessed technology and privacy attorney with extensive big law and legal tech experience, who’s a verified expert in building and implementing technology for legal teams. Our final cofounder was the lead of the secret scanning teams at GitHub and former fast-track Meta engineer. We have legal, FAANG, and startup experience nailed to a tee.

Grey: Repeat entrepreneur who cut his teeth at GoCardless (YC S11) as employee #3, co-founded, built, and sold Dependabot (acquired by GitHub in 2019), and was VP of Product at GitHub before Pincites.
Sona: Practiced attorney with expertise in transactional law and intellectual property at Ropes & Grey, who worked for 3+ years as a strategic consultant in legal tech.
Mariam: Former software engineer at Meta, engineer and PM at a legal tech startup, and PM lead for the secret scanning teams in the security products portfolio at GitHub.

This is a unique opportunity to learn from the best engineering and product minds in the startup world, and you've got your target user in-house.
