About the Role
We're looking for a Product Engineer to join our founding engineering team. You'll sit at the intersection of product and engineering - someone who thinks deeply about problems, designs elegant solutions, and builds them end-to-end. You'll be responsible for bringing Keith's client and conveyancer-facing platforms to life, turning complex legal workflows into intuitive, polished interfaces. You'll use AI coding tools extensively and move fast.
You Will:
- Solve complex product problems - understand what conveyancers and clients need, then design and build the right solution
- Build and improve Keith's client platform - task-based workflows, document handling, contract signing, real-time transaction tracking
- Build and improve the conveyancer dashboard - inbox, document review, approval workflows, transaction oversight
- Design clear, logical interfaces for complex legal processes - making the complicated feel simple
- Work across the full stack - from React/Next.js frontend to the state machine and workflow engine that orchestrates every transaction
- Use AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code) as a core part of your workflow to move at speed
- Help build, monitor and improve AI agents that handle legal document review and correspondence
- Work closely with founders and lawyers to understand user needs and translate them into product decisions
We'll be working quickly to get our first product to market and then iterating rapidly to ramp up automation. xwzovoh
