Founding Engineer, AI (Path to Co-Founder/CTO)

EBADAT is a corporate law firm specializing in advising founders and fund managers on various legal transactions. They are seeking a Founding Engineer to build AI tools for transactional legal work, working directly with the firm's founder and acting as the first engineer in the development process.

Responsibilities:

• Demonstrated production experience building LLM applications — retrieval, agents, evaluation, structured output, and the failure modes that come with them
• Strong full-stack engineering. TypeScript and/or Python, cloud infrastructure, databases, authentication, security. You can take a system from concept to production without a team behind you
• A track record of taking a product from zero to one alone or nearly alone — as a founder, a first engineer, or on a project of your own that reached real users
• Rigor about correctness. We work with confidential and privileged material, where an incorrect output carries real consequences
• Based in Houston and able to work on-site most days
