How We Work at Paralegent AI
Remote-first. Results-driven. Production-obsessed.
We build AI that lawyers actually use—not prototypes that sit on slides. If it doesn't run in production, it doesn't count.
What We Believe
We're a small team solving a massive problem: contract review is broken. Legal teams waste thousands of hours on work that AI can do in seconds—if built right.
That last part matters. Most AI tools demo well but fail in production. We're different. Every feature we ship runs in production with real legal teams, real contracts, and real stakes.
Our philosophy is simple:
- →Ship fast. Learn faster.
- →Production is the only demo that matters.
- →Solve problems, not tickets.
- →Own outcomes, not tasks.
Remote-First, Async-Friendly
We're a distributed team across multiple time zones. No headquarters. No mandatory office days. No "culture" that requires you to be in a specific city.
What this means in practice:
- →Work from anywhere with reliable internet
- →Flexible hours—we care about output, not online status
- →Async communication by default (Slack, Loom, docs)
- →Meetings only when synchronous discussion adds value
- →No meetings that should be emails
We trust you to manage your time. You trust us to judge you by results.
Distributed team across time zones
How We Ship
We build production AI systems, not MVPs that never graduate. Here's how:
Small Teams, Big Ownership
You own features end-to-end. No handoffs. No "that's not my job." You build it, you ship it, you support it.
Speed Over Perfection
We ship fast and iterate. A working feature today beats a perfect feature next quarter. Production teaches us what docs never will.
Technical Excellence
We use modern tools: Python, FastAPI, Azure/AWS, vector databases, LLMs. We write code that scales—because our customers depend on it.
Direct Customer Feedback
You'll talk to users. You'll see how they use (or struggle with) what you built. That feedback loop is tight by design.

- →Learning budget for courses, books, conferences
Who Thrives Here
You might be a fit if:
- →You ship. You don't just plan, strategize, or "align"—you build things that work.
- →You own outcomes. When something breaks at 2am, you don't wait for someone else to notice.
- →You communicate clearly. Remote work requires writing that's direct, concise, and unambiguous.
- →You're curious. You dig into problems. You ask "why" until you understand.
- →You care about craft. You take pride in code that's clean, systems that scale, and products that users love.
This isn't for everyone. We move fast. Ambiguity is normal. Ownership is real—not a buzzword.
If that sounds exhausting, we're not the right fit.
If that sounds exciting, let's talk.
What We Value
Production Over Prototypes
If it doesn't run in production, it doesn't count. We build for real users, not demos.
Ownership Over Handoffs
You own your work end-to-end. No "throwing it over the wall."
Clarity Over Consensus
We'd rather be clear than agreeable. Direct feedback helps everyone improve.
Speed Over Perfection
Ship, learn, iterate. Waiting for perfect means waiting forever.
Results Over Hours
We measure output, not time online. Do great work. Live your life.
