Job Description: Join Crumb as our first dedicated engineering hire to build agentic AI tools and a marketplace for in-house legal teams.

This is a founding-level role where you will ship features that automate complex legal workflows and eliminate manual processes.

High-impact work building sophisticated agentic AI tools that solve real-world efficiency problems for legal teams at venture-backed companies.
What you will do:
Design and build end-to-end features using React, Node.js, and TypeScript, moving from user problem to production code without PM intervention.
Develop and maintain complex multi-step workflows, background jobs, and webhook-driven integrations to automate manual legal tasks.
Architect and secure our AWS cloud environment, ensuring the platform is scalable and resilient as we expand our user base.
The ideal candidate:
Proven experience shipping production software with React and Node.js/TypeScript, with a strong emphasis on owning systems end-to-end.
Hands-on expertise with AWS infrastructure, production webhooks, and managing asynchronous background jobs or scheduled tasks.
A true builder mentality with strong product intuition, comfortable using AI coding tools to accelerate development in an ambiguous, fast-paced environment.
