Engineering Manager | Applied AI

We're looking for an Engineering Manager to own AI at one of the fastest-growing AI legal tech companies in Europe. Over 2,000 lawyers use JUPUS every day, and the AI behind it is already in production and already in front of customers. You'd own the team, the technical roadmap, and the standard everything gets built to.

You'll report to our Head of Engineering and lead our AI team. This is a leadership role, not a senior engineering seat with a lead title. You won't be shipping features yourself, and that's deliberate- we want someone whose leverage comes from the team they build and the calls they make.

Your Challenge and Opportunity in This Role

Legal work is document-heavy, judgement-heavy, and almost untouched by AI. We've trained on over a million German court rulings and handled over a million cases, so the hard part isn't proving AI belongs here. The hard part is doing it well enough that a lawyer will put their professional judgement behind the output.

Your job is to make that repeatable. The field throws up something new every week and most of it is noise. We need someone who can tell the difference, turn that judgement into a roadmap, and build a team that can actually deliver it.

Across the company

• Get AI into real product workflows, working with design and engineering so it lands as something people use rather than something we demo.
• Make the rest of the business better at AI. You're the authority here, and the goal is that other teams get sharper because you're in the building.
• Explain AI to people who don't build it, from engineers to the CEO, without dumbing it down or hiding behind it.
