Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Consilio is seeking a Senior Legal Engineer to design the next generation of AI-enabled legal services and workflows. The role will build practical generative-AI workflows, agentic processes, prototypes, testing frameworks, and scalable solutions in collaboration with legal, technology, product, and client teams.
Responsibilities
- Design AI-enabled legal workflows that combine generative AI, legal data, Consilio technology, third-party platforms, process design and human expertise to improve legal outcomes
- Serve as a hands-on legal engineer, developing prompts, agent instructions, workflows, prototypes and multi-step agentic processes using Claude, Harvey and similar enterprise AI platforms
- Work directly with lawyers, litigation teams, legal operations professionals and Consilio subject-matter experts to understand legal tasks and convert them into structured, repeatable AI workflows
- Design workflows that intelligently combine AI with human review and validation, including appropriate checkpoints, escalation criteria and quality controls
- Develop solutions that may span Consilio's proprietary AI capabilities, client-approved enterprise AI platforms, review technologies, APIs, MCP/connectors and other legal technology
- Prototype new approaches rapidly, test them against real legal use cases and determine whether they should become a repeatable service, product capability, connected solution or further innovation initiative
- Partner with Consilio Product and Technology teams to translate workflow requirements into product capabilities and integrations
- Partner with AI LegalWorks, Lawyers on Demand and delivery organizations to turn successful designs into scalable managed services and AI-enabled operating models
- Help establish reusable workflow patterns, agent architectures, prompt libraries, evaluation methods and implementation playbooks that can be applied across clients and matters
- Develop testing and validation frameworks to assess output quality, reliability, defensibility and appropriate human oversight before workflows are scaled
- Support selected client engagements, workshops and solution-design sessions, particularly where sophisticated AI workflow expertise is required
- Evaluate emerging AI models, platforms and agentic technologies based on their practical applicability to legal work rather than technology novelty alone
- Help educate Consilio teams on effective use of generative AI and how emerging capabilities can be applied to real legal workflows
- Contribute to broader decisions regarding when Consilio should build, connect, partner, operationalize or incubate an AI capability
Skills
- * Significant experience working within legal services, a law firm, corporate legal department, legal technology company, ALSP or legal innovation function
- * Strong understanding of legal workflows, ideally including litigation, investigations, eDiscovery, legal operations, contract workflows or other high-volume legal processes
- * Demonstrated hands-on experience with Claude, Harvey or comparable enterprise generative AI platforms
- * Experience designing sophisticated prompts, reusable workflows, AI assistants, agents or multi-step generative-AI processes
- * Understanding of agentic AI concepts, including tool use, workflow decomposition, retrieval, context management, structured outputs, human-in-the-loop controls and multi-step reasoning
- * Ability to determine when a task is best handled through generative AI versus traditional search, analytics, deterministic automation or human legal judgment
- * Familiarity with APIs, MCP, retrieval-augmented generation, enterprise data connections or similar integration concepts is strongly preferred; deep software-engineering expertise is not necessarily required
- * Ability to prototype solutions independently and work effectively with engineers when production development is required
- * Strong analytical and process-design skills with an ability to break complex legal work into discrete tasks, decision points and repeatable workflows
- * Strong communication skills and credibility working with lawyers, technologists, business leaders and clients
- * Practical orientation toward measurable outcomes, adoption and scalability, rather than experimentation for its own sake
- *We recognize that this capability may come from a variety of backgrounds. Strong candidates may include practicing or former attorneys who have become sophisticated AI builders, legal innovation or knowledge-management professionals, legal technologists, legal operations professionals, eDiscovery practitioners with strong generative-AI expertise, or technically oriented consultants who deeply understand legal workflows.*
