R&D Attorney
GC AI is the legal AI platform built for in-house legal teams. Your decisions shape the product, your impact is immediate, and you own your work from day one.
More than 2,000 companies run their legal work on GC AI, including 200+ public companies, 25+ unicorns, and teams at News Corp, Nestlé, Miro, Bass Pro Shops, Snyk, Skims, Liquid Death, Vercel, Zscaler, and TIME. The platform holds an 80 NPS, more than double the B2B SaaS industry average, which is why GC AI is the leading legal AI platform for companies of all sizes.
GC AI doubled ARR in six months. We raised a $60 million Series B at a $555 million valuation in November 2025 and won #1 Highest Customer Satisfaction at the 2026 SaaS Awards. Our investors include Scale Venture Partners, Northzone, Sound Ventures, and Guillermo Rauch, CEO of Vercel.
You’ll define how things get built, not follow someone else’s playbook. Six principles guide how the team works:
📈 1% Better Every Day: small, compounding improvements across everything you ship.
❤️🔥 Customer Obsession: start with the customer and work backward.
🚀 Ship Today: bias toward action and iteration over perfection.
🧗 Find a Way: resourcefulness and ambition over constraint.
🤝 Care: be direct, like an honest friend, even when it’s uncomfortable.
🎯 Own It: full accountability, proactive communication, and attention to detail.
About The Role
As an R&D Attorney, you will shape the products, features, and AI experiences that legal teams rely on every day. You will combine legal expertise, product judgment, and a practical understanding of how legal teams work to define what excellent legal AI looks like. Working alongside engineers as a legal expert, product partner, and advanced user, you will design legal evaluations, translate real-world workflows into product requirements, test and refine new features, and turn customer feedback into lasting improvements. You will help decide what we build, set the standard for launch readiness, and shape the future of legal AI for in-house teams.
What You’ll Do
Design and run rigorous evaluations that define and measure whether our AI-generated work meets the high standards expected by top-tier legal professionals.
Review and validate product outputs for accuracy, relevance, comprehensiveness, helpfulness, etc.
Turn customer feedback into lasting improvements by identifying root causes, determining whether the solution requires a prompt, skill, tool, or broader product change, and creating tests that prevent recurrence.
Work alongside engineering, product, design, and GTM teams to shape products and features from initial discovery through requirements, prioritization, testing, launch, and ongoing improvement.
Serve as the legal voice of quality, advocating for precision, consistency, and clarity in AI outputs.
Operate as a product manager, legal expert, and advanced user by translating real legal workflows and customer needs into clear product requirements, acceptance criteria, and roadmap recommendations.
Provide domain-specific legal expertise that guides feature development and product roadmap decisions.
Help build products that lawyers trust and want to use, combining legal judgment, product thinking, customer insight, and hands-on experimentation.

A Note On Pace
We’re building something new in a once-in-a-generation shift in technology and the legal industry, so we move at a relentless pace. We expect urgency, ownership, and good judgment even when things aren’t perfectly clear. If you need structure and consensus to do your best work, this isn’t the right place for you. If you thrive in ambiguity and growth, work with intensity, and want real responsibility, keep reading. We’re excited to meet you.
How We Work Together
GC AI is a distributed company with team members across North America, and soon Europe. We believe that because our business is AI, human connection matters more, not less. We invest in bringing people together through our hub model: regular coworking sessions, customer dinners, team and company offsites. If you’re in a location without an office, expect up to 10% travel (and more for customer-facing roles).
Team members in the San Francisco Bay Area and Provo, UT (within 50 miles of the office) work together on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. As we grow, we plan to establish permanent offices in more hub cities, and we will look to our team members to help build that in-person culture. We currently hire across the United States and Canada.
