Software Architect - Legal AI Tech Scale-Up | Full Remote

As a software architect, you are the link between our engineering reality and our compliance obligations. This is, at heart, an automation problem. You pull information from where it lives (code, processes, systems), put it in the right place, and build the processes and tooling that keep it current and self-validating against the actual state of our systems. You won’t manually do every update - you own and design the process by which updates flow into the knowledge base. And yes, sometimes you’ll write clear, structured documentation that makes a concept unambiguous. It’s the most exciting time imaginable to do this kind of work, because so much of it can now be automated - but it still takes someone genuinely engaged in documentation and compliance to do it well., * Own the compliance knowledge base: collect, organize, structure, and continuously validate the information that feeds our AI-generated compliance answers.

• Design and run the process by which updates enter the knowledge base - making sure it stays current as code and processes change, without relying on manual effort alone.
• Build automations that extract information from code, systems, and processes, and keep documentation synchronized with the actual state of our systems.
• Translate technical reality into clear, structured documentation that other teams and external stakeholders can rely on, especially at the “breaking points” that matter most for compliance.
• Act as the engineering-side link to Compliance and Legal teams, surfacing what needs to be communicated outward and ensuring it is accurate, timely, and well-founded.

• Firmly proficient in Programming Language - Python or TypeScript ideal, but real depth in one matters more. If you’re good in one, we trust that you can pick up the others.
• You can read code and processes and translate them into documentation that other departments - including non-engineers - can actually use. Being that bridge is the core skill we assess for.
• Genuinely interested in the documentation problem space and compliance setups - you see the value in keeping a knowledge base accurate, not just shipping the next feature.
• Strong automation mindset: your instinct is to build the process and tooling that keep things up to date, rather than to do everything by hand.
• Structured, self-driven, and comfortable owning an ambiguous, evolving mandate - this is a new kind of role, and you’ll help shape it.
• In-depth security knowledge of AI systems - ideally with hands-on experience of the security architecture of AI systems and organisations, and familiarity with compliance schemes and ISO standards (e.g. ISO 27001, 42001). This is central to the role.
• Excellent written and spoken English and German are a plus.
• Exposure to Regulatory and Compliance frameworks, e.g., GDPR, AI Act, ISO Standards, Data Act, CRA

You’ll sit at the intersection of Engineering and Compliance at Noxtua - close to the people writing the code and shaping the processes, and close to the people who answer for them to auditors, customers, and regulators. As we certify and operate Europe’s sovereign Legal AI, this role becomes the engineering-side counterpart to the business side of compliance: the person who makes sure that what is actually happening inside our code and processes is captured, structured, and kept true., Noxtua (noxtua.com) is Europe’s Legal AI built for legal professionals in law firms, legal departments, public administration, and the judiciary. Its AI covers the full workflow of legal text work: research, analysis of complex legal issues, and document drafting. Noxtua is built to meet the professional, criminal, and data protection requirements specific to the legal profession - including Section 203 of the German Criminal Code and Section 43e of the Federal Code for Lawyers - and holds certifications including BSI C5, ISO 27001, and ISO 42001. In partnership with leading European legal publishers, Noxtua is also building Europe’s largest legal database, with more than 130 million searchable documents, and offering the market’s first cross-continental European license.
