Legal and Product Engineer

At Solve Intelligence, we’re building the AI-powered infrastructure for the global Intellectual Property landscape. We need a rare hybrid - a Legal and Product Engineer who sits at the exact intersection of patent law and AI innovation to ensure our engine is technically superior and legally airtight.

🏗️ The Role: Legal and Product Engineer

This isn't your typical client-facing role or traditional R&D position. You are the bridge between the complex nuances of patent practice and the cutting-edge AI technology transforming it. You will translate the "language of law" into the "logic of code."

What You’ll Own

• AI Output Engineering: Partner with our AI researchers to iterate on algorithms and prompt engineering, specializing our LLMs for patent-specific tasks like claim analysis, prior art comparison, and obviousness assessments.
• Legal Benchmarking: Build proprietary datasets and evaluation frameworks to measure AI performance against real-world USPTO and international patent office requirements.
• Product Roadmap: Serve as the internal voice of the practitioner. You’ll translate deep client insights from global firms into high-priority product features.
• Strategic Partnership: Act as a technical thought partner for IP teams at firms like DLA Piper, leading pilots and ensuring our AI scales seamlessly across their prosecution and litigation workflows.
• Playbook Development: Document and scale best practices for AI adoption across diverse sectors, from biotech to deep-tech software.
