[Hiring] Document Automation Specialist @NetLaw

Role Description

We're looking for a Document Automation Specialist to join our team of document automation experts working on NetLaw's legal product. In this role, you'll build and maintain automated legal document templates — wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and other estate planning instruments — using conditional logic to transform complex legal language into intelligent, dynamic documents.

This is meticulous, high-stakes work. The documents you automate are legally binding instruments that protect families and their legacies. A misplaced clause, a broken condition, or an incorrect variable isn't a minor bug — it's a real-world consequence. You'll thrive here if you find deep satisfaction in getting every detail exactly right.

• Build, test, and maintain automated document templates using conditional logic to handle complex legal scenarios and jurisdiction-specific variations.
• Translate attorney-drafted legal language and specifications into dynamic, logic-driven templates.
• Use conditional logic to structure, style, and script document templates and related automation workflows.
• Rigorously test document outputs across a wide range of input combinations to verify that every conditional path produces accurate, compliant documents.
• Collaborate with attorneys, product managers, and engineers to clarify requirements — and proactively ask questions when specifications are ambiguous or incomplete.
• Document your work clearly so templates remain maintainable as the product evolves.
• Continuously learn new tools, automation platforms, and estate planning concepts as our product grows.

Qualifications

• 2–4 years of hands-on experience in legal document automation — building templates with conditional logic in platforms such as Contract Express, HotDocs, Gavel, or similar.
• Working proficiency with HTML and JavaScript.
• Experience working with legal documents and legal language, with a strong grasp of why precision matters in a highly regulated field.
• Exceptional attention to detail — you catch the inconsistency in paragraph 47 that everyone else missed.
• Ability to work independently, manage your own workload, and deliver reliably in a remote environment.
• A fast learner's mindset: comfortable picking up new tools, concepts, and legal subject matter quickly.
• Strong communication skills and the judgment to ask clarifying questions early rather than guessing when something is confusing or underspecified.

Requirements

• Exposure to estate planning documents and concepts — wills, revocable trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and related instruments.
• Background as a paralegal, legal assistant, or legal technologist.

Benefits

• Fully remote — work from anywhere in the U.S.
• Meaningful work — the documents you build help families protect what matters most.
• A specialized, expert team — join colleagues who share your obsession with quality and your passion for legal technology.
• Growth — deepen your expertise in one of the most sophisticated document automation environments in legal tech.
