.NET Engineers - AI-Forward Legal Tech

My client is a fast-growing legal-tech business using AI and intelligent automation to transform how law firms and legal teams work.

As they continue to grow their engineering teams in New York, they’re looking for a variety of .NET Engineers at Mid-level and above, ranging from backend-focused developers through to full-stack engineers.

They’re an AI-forward engineering organisation, so they’re particularly interested in developers who are already embracing AI in the way they code, solve problems and improve their own productivity.

What you’ll be doing

• Build and scale applications using C#/.NET and modern cloud technologies.


• Work across either backend-heavy or full-stack development, depending on your experience and interests.


• Design and work with APIs, integrations, microservices and distributed systems.


• Work on products increasingly incorporating AI, LLMs, intelligent automation and document processing.


• Use AI-assisted development tools as a genuine part of your day-to-day engineering workflow.


• Debug complex problems by breaking them down and working through them systematically.


• Build tools and automation to make yourself and the wider engineering team more effective.


• Work closely with product and engineering teams in an environment where the answer or process isn't always clearly defined.

What we’re looking for

• Mid-level+ .NET Engineers with strong commercial C#/.NET experience.


• Backgrounds ranging from backend engineering to full-stack development.


• Engineers who are genuinely AI-forward in their approach to software development — not just occasionally using ChatGPT, but actively experimenting with AI coding tools and finding ways to improve how they build software.


• Bonus points if you've gone deeper with things like custom AI workflows, agents, MCP servers or your own development tools/skills.


• Comfortable working with microservices, APIs and complex distributed systems.


• Able to thrive in ambiguity and make progress when requirements, processes or solutions aren't perfectly defined.


• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills.


• Someone collaborative, easy to work with and able to handle feedback and technical disagreement constructively.


• Pragmatic engineers who care about quality but don't need perfect processes around them to get things done.

Why join them?

• Join an AI-forward business actively changing how its engineers build software, rather than simply adding AI features to existing products.


• Multiple engineering opportunities, allowing them to match people to teams based on their strengths and interests rather than forcing everyone into the same box.


• Opportunity to work across established platforms and newer AI-driven initiatives.


• Product-driven environment where engineers have input into technical and architectural decisions.


• Hybrid New York setup, working closely with the wider engineering team.


• Strong opportunity for progression as the business continues to grow and invest in technology.
