About Us

At Laine, we’re building the next generation of legal tooling—a cutting-edge AI product that turns complex drafting into a fast, guided, and secure experience. We blend thoughtful product design with modern engineering to help people and licensed lawyers work smarter, not harder. If you’re excited by high-impact problems, a crisp product vision, and shipping real features used in the wild, you’ll feel at home here.

Role Overview

We’re looking for a versatile Software Engineer to design, build, and scale the core services behind our AI-assisted legal drafting platform. This is a full-time, fully remote role with regular off-sites (1 week every 8-12 weeks) in the EU or Dubai. You’ll work across backend/API development, integrations, performance, and reliability—partnering closely with product and frontend teams to ship delightful, secure features.

What You’ll Do

● Design, build, and maintain backend services and public/internal APIs.

● Integrate external services (including LLM/AI APIs) into robust, user-facing features.

● Collaborate with frontend engineers to deliver end-to-end user experiences.

● Improve performance, scalability, observability, and security across a distributed platform.

● Own CI/CD pipelines and DevOps workflows to keep delivery fast and safe.

● Write clean, well-tested code; contribute to design docs and code reviews.

● Influence architecture and product roadmaps with pragmatic, user-first thinking.

What We’re Looking For

● Solid software engineering fundamentals and a track record of shipping production systems.

● Proficiency in at least one backend language (e.g., Python, TypeScript/Node.js, Go, Java, or C#).

● Strong understanding of OOP, API design, and database modelling (SQL/NoSQL).

● Experience with cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP) and containers/orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).

● Comfort with CI/CD, monitoring, and debugging in production.

● Excellent communication and collaboration—comfortable with async remote work.

● Fluency in English.

Nice to Have

● Experience in LegalTech, FinTech, or other compliance-sensitive domains.

● Security-minded development (authn/z, secrets, least privilege).

● Event-driven design, queues/streams, microservices.

● Frontend exposure (React/Next.js).

● Bachelor’s in CS/Engineering or equivalent practical experience.

How We Work

● Remote-first across time zones, with teammates in Geneva (Switzerland), Ghent (Belgium), and Dubai (UAE).

● Lightweight, pragmatic Agile; high ownership; strong product culture.

Benefits & Growth

● Fully remote with flexible working hours.

● Join an early-stage start-up and enjoy the ride!

● Support for continuous learning and professional development.
