Senior/Principal Software Engineer - Fullstack AI-Assisted Legal Drafting Platform

About Us

At Laine, we’re building the next generation of legal tooling—a cutting-edge AI product that turns complex drafting into a fast, guided, and secure experience. We blend thoughtful product design with modern engineering to help people and licensed lawyers work smarter, not harder. If you’re excited by high-impact problems, a crisp product vision, and shipping real features used in the wild, you’ll feel at home here.

Role Overview

We’re looking for product-minded, versatile Software Engineers, Senior Software Engineers or Principal Software Engineers to design, build, and scale our AI-assisted legal drafting platform. This is a full-time, hybrid role based in our Dubai office, with administrative visa support. You will take true fullstack ownership—spanning frontend interfaces, backend services, and AI integrations—using a modern TypeScript stack to ship delightful, secure features from end to end.

What You’ll Do

• Act as a product-minded engineer, influencing both the technical architecture and the product roadmap with pragmatic, user-first thinking.
• Take fullstack ownership of features, developing end-to-end user experiences from the React frontend down to the Node.js backend.
• Integrate LLMs and external AI services into robust, secure, and highly usable core features.
• Improve performance, scalability, observability, and security across the platform.
• Write clean, well-tested code; contribute to design docs and lead code reviews.
• Partner closely with product and design teams to understand the "why" behind the features you build.

• Hands-on experience integrating AI/LLMs into production workflows.
• Strong understanding of API design and database modeling (SQL/NoSQL).
