Software Engineer, AI & Product

About the role

Lexpoint is a legal AI assistant for Canadian immigration. People use it to understand their options and prepare their applications, licensed consultants use it to run their cases, and employers use it to keep their foreign workers' permits in order.

In immigration, a confident wrong answer can cost someone their status. So the AI you build here has to show its work, and we measure it before it ships.

You'll join a small engineering team that ships to production often, and you'll own a product line within your first year.

What you'll work on

• Make our assistant cite its sources: every answer points to the rule or document it rests on.
• Build the tests that tell us when the AI is right, measured against answers our licensed consultants have already checked.
• Find out whether open models running on our own servers in Canada can match the model we use today, and move the work that passes.
• Take the employer portal to its first paying customers: businesses managing their foreign workers' permits, letters and compliance.
• Work across the stack: TypeScript, React and Astro; Postgres with row-level security, SQL functions and migrations; serverless functions.

What we're looking for

• You've shipped software people use, and you can show us the code.
• Strong TypeScript and SQL.
• You've built with LLMs beyond a demo: prompts, tools, retrieval or evaluations.
• You test what matters, write clearly, and finish what you start.

Nice to have

• Evaluations, retrieval or document AI running in production.
• Postgres beyond the basics: performance, and migrations on live data.
• Legal, immigration or other regulated software.
• A second language our clients speak.
