[Hiring] Senior Legal Engineer @Consilio LLC

Role Description

Consilio is seeking a Senior Legal Engineer – AI Solutions & Workflows to help design the next generation of AI-enabled legal services and workflows across the organization. This role will sit at the intersection of legal practice, generative AI, workflow design, data, and service delivery. The successful candidate will be a hands-on builder who understands how legal professionals work and can translate legal and business problems into practical AI-enabled workflows using platforms such as Claude, Harvey, and other enterprise generative AI technologies, together with Consilio's proprietary technology and legal data capabilities.

The role will be central to Consilio's enterprise AI strategy, working across:

• eDiscovery
• Investigations
• Legal operations
• Managed services
• Lawyers on Demand
• Product
• Innovation
• Client teams

Depending on the experience and leadership capabilities of the successful candidate, the position may also evolve into broader leadership responsibility for Consilio's AI Solutions & Workflow function.

Qualifications

• Significant experience working within legal services, a law firm, corporate legal department, legal technology company, ALSP, or legal innovation function.
• Strong understanding of legal workflows, ideally including litigation, investigations, eDiscovery, legal operations, contract workflows, or other high-volume legal processes.
• Demonstrated hands-on experience with Claude, Harvey, or comparable enterprise generative AI platforms.
• Experience designing sophisticated prompts, reusable workflows, AI assistants, agents, or multi-step generative-AI processes.
• Understanding of agentic AI concepts, including tool use, workflow decomposition, retrieval, context management, structured outputs, human-in-the-loop controls, and multi-step reasoning.
• Ability to determine when a task is best handled through generative AI versus traditional search, analytics, deterministic automation, or human legal judgment.
• Familiarity with APIs, MCP, retrieval-augmented generation, enterprise data connections, or similar integration concepts is strongly preferred; deep software-engineering expertise is not necessarily required.
• Ability to prototype solutions independently and work effectively with engineers when production development is required.
• Strong analytical and process-design skills with an ability to break complex legal work into discrete tasks, decision points, and repeatable workflows.
• Strong communication skills and credibility working with lawyers, technologists, business leaders, and clients.
• Practical orientation toward measurable outcomes, adoption, and scalability, rather than experimentation for its own sake.

Requirements

• Help establish reusable workflow patterns, agent architectures, prompt libraries, evaluation methods, and implementation playbooks that can be applied across clients and matters.
• Develop testing and validation frameworks to assess output quality, reliability, defensibility, and appropriate human oversight before workflows are scaled.
• Support selected client engagements, workshops, and solution-design sessions, particularly where sophisticated AI workflow expertise is required.
• Evaluate emerging AI models, platforms, and agentic technologies based on their practical applicability to legal work rather than technology novelty alone.
• Help educate Consilio teams on effective use of generative AI and how emerging capabilities can be applied to real legal workflows.
• Contribute to broader decisions regarding when Consilio should build, connect, partner, operationalize, or incubate an AI capability.

Benefits

• Establish a portfolio of validated AI-enabled workflow patterns.
• Develop sophisticated agentic workflows around priority legal use cases.
• Translate successful prototypes into scalable services and product requirements.
• Increase the effective use of both Consilio and third-party AI technologies.
• Reduce dependence on one-off expert intervention.
• Demonstrate measurable improvements in speed, capacity, cost, quality, or legal-team effectiveness.
