Emma Legal augments corporate lawyers with legal due diligence processes with the power of AI, ensuring faster, more accurate, and impactful outcomes for M\&A dealmakers.

The Role
As a Senior Full-stack TypeScript Engineer, you will be the backbone of our development team, driving the creation and evolution of our applications from concept to deployment. You will directly report to the Co-Founder CTO of the Company – an AI veteran with 17 years of experience.
This role is for the doers that realize their dreams, those who believe that technology can change the world and are ready to make it happen. Even if that means starting from scratch and figuring out everything yourself from the beginning to the end. We are looking for engineers that want to go the extra (s)mile to make sure we deliver the AI intelligence our legal customers are craving for. Of course, you will receive daily guidance \& coaching from our CTO and your colleagues to make sure you are set up for success.
Do you like that everything is defined before you start? Do you prefer to contribute to a fully established code base? Don't you like to interact with customers directly? Would you rather not be curious on how to do things different and better? That is ok... But then this is not the job for you!
