Job Summary

As our Product Developer, you’ll be the hands-on builder bringing our product to life. This is a product-focused role where you’ll work directly with Director to ship features that solve real problems for lawyers. You’ll be joining at the perfect moment – we’re building our MVP with a bootstrap mentality, shipping daily improvements, and learning.

Job Description/Requirements

Responsibilities:

Core Product Development :

  • Build and iterate on our app using Python and FastAPI

  • 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
