• Create simple, secure connectors for document systems (starting with local files and Clio)
• Develop clean web interfaces for setup and configuration
• Implement document processing and AI integration features
• Build our WordPress marketing site and landing pages
• Ship features fast, get user feedback, iterate quickly

What You’ll Work With:

• Backend: Python with FastAPI, PostgreSQL
• Frontend: TypeScript/JavaScript, Vue.js/React (simple interfaces)
• Marketing: WordPress with Bricks builder
• AI Integration: OpenAI API, Anthropic Claude, MCP
• Infrastructure: Docker, basic cloud deployment

Your Focus:

• 80% Backend: Python/FastAPI, PostgreSQL, API integrations
• 15% Frontend: Simple web interfaces for admin and setup
• 5% WordPress: Marketing site updates and landing pages

Requirements:

• 3–6 years of hands-on development experience
• Strong Python skills with web framework experience (FastAPI, Flask, or Django)
• Experience with PostgreSQL or similar relational databases
• Basic frontend development skills (HTML, CSS, JavaScript)
• You love shipping features and seeing people use them
• Comfortable working directly with users and iterating based on feedback
• Experience with API integrations

Big Plus (Not Required, But Awesome):

• WordPress development experience – Theme customization, plugins, Bricks builder
• Experience with AI/ML APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic)
• Understanding of authentication and security best practices
• Familiarity with AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Claude, etc.)
• Previous startup or small team experience

Perfect If You:

• Want to learn about AI integration and the Model Context Protocol (MCP)
• Enjoy full-stack work where you touch every part of the product
• Love the idea of building something from scratch
• Get excited about solving real problems for real people
• Prefer shipping over perfection (we iterate fast)

You Don’t Need to Know Everything – We’ll Help You Learn:

• Model Context Protocol (MCP) – emerging standard for AI-data connections
• Vector databases for semantic search (we’ll implement together)
• Legal tech workflows (we’ll teach you as we build)

How We Work

• Ship daily, learn constantly – Fast iterations, not perfect code
• Talk to users weekly – Build what they actually need
• Build in public – Share progress, failures, and lessons
• Bootstrap discipline – Do more with less, waste nothing
• Keep it simple – Complexity is the enemy

Work Style:

• Remote-first with async communication
• Results-focused – We track impact, not hours
• AI-augmented – Use AI tools to move faster
• User-obsessed – Ship based on real feedback
• Learning-oriented – We’re all learning MCP together

What We Provide:

• Dedicated laptop for work
• Internet stipend
• Home office setup allowance
• Learning budget for courses and tools
• Direct access to leadership and product decisions
• Opportunity to grow with the company

Growth Path:

• Potential conversion to full-time as we scale
• First consideration for senior roles as team expands
• Significant input on technical and product decisions

Why This Role Matters:

You’ll solve a real problem: 82% of small law firms want to use AI but can’t because existing solutions are too expensive, complex, or insecure.

You’ll build something people need: Every feature you ship helps solo practitioners compete and serve their clients better.

You’ll work with cutting-edge tech: MCP is the emerging standard for AI integration. You’ll learn it alongside us and become an expert.

You’ll have real impact: You’re not a cog in a machine. You’re building the product, talking to users, and seeing your work make a difference.

Location & Logistics:

• Remote-first position anywhere in Nigeria
• Quarterly/bi-yearly all-hands meetings
