Key responsibilities

  • Work closely with ML engineers, data scientists, product managers, and engineering teams to improve AI capabilities across Filevine’s legal workflows

  • Translate legal tasks, documents, workflows, and user expectations into clear requirements for AI systems, prompts, retrieval pipelines, evaluations, and product behavior

  • Define what “good” looks like for legal AI outputs, including accuracy, completeness, grounding, citations, tone, usability, and appropriate handling of uncertainty

  • Review and evaluate model outputs across use cases such as case summarization, document analysis, deposition workflows, demand generation, medical chronology, intake, task automation, and matter-level Q&A

  • Create and maintain evaluation rubrics, golden answers, annotation guidelines, failure-mode taxonomies, and workflow-specific quality standards

  • Partner with data annotation teams to design review workflows, calibrate reviewers, resolve ambiguity, and improve the legal relevance and consistency of labeled data

  • Identify legal and workflow-specific edge cases, hallucination patterns, citation failures, missing context, and product behaviors that could reduce user trust

  • Provide structured feedback to ML and Product teams on model performance, product gaps, data quality issues, workflow friction, and opportunities for improvement

  • Help refine prompts, retrieval strategies, agent workflows, and human-in-the-loop review patterns for legal use cases

Who are we looking for

  • Strong communication and writing skills in English

  • JD or equivalent legal training, with practical experience in a law firm, legal department, government legal office, or legal operations environment

  • Strong understanding of legal workflows, legal documents, matter management, and how attorneys, paralegals, and legal staff work in practice

  • Ability to evaluate legal content carefully, identify missing context or inaccuracies, and explain why an AI output is or is not useful to a legal professional

  • Strong interest in AI, machine learning, legal technology, document intelligence, and workflow automation

  • Experience with AI tools, prompt engineering, evaluation workflows, document review, knowledge systems, or data annotation processes is a plus

  • Ability to create clear rubrics, examples, test cases, review guidelines, and structured feedback for technical and non-technical audiences

  • Comfort working closely with engineers, ML teams, product managers, designers, and data annotation partners in a fast-moving product development environment

  • Experience in litigation, personal injury, insurance defense, immigration, mass torts, corporate legal, or other high-volume legal workflows is a plus

  • Ability to meet periodically in our office, as we value in-person collaboration
