Forward Deployed Engineer

August allows law firms to compound their expertise by building an autonomous organization of AI agents that run the firm's knowledge work. We partner closely with our firms and grow alongside them through sharing revenue on our agents and equity in the firms we transform.

You'll embed with our partner firms and build production-grade agents that perform legal work with expert-level reasoning. This is a zero to one role. You'll sit with lawyers to learn how a matter actually moves, build the agents that take it over, and deploy them in production on live matters.

What you'll do:

• Own deployments end to end. Architect, build, and ship August into production at partner firms. You scope the integration, write the code, run the cutover, and stay on it until it holds. You decide what done means.
• Build the integrations that touch everything. Ship the adapters, webhooks, and APIs that wire August into iManage, NetDocs, SharePoint, Outlook, and Word add-ins.
• Sit with the lawyers. Learn how a matter actually moves before you automate any part of it. The gap between how a firm describes its process and how the work really happens is where these deployments succeed or fail.
• Turn one off work into platform. Every deployment is raw material. Extract the patterns, harden them into configurable modules, SDKs, and internal tooling, and cut the time it takes the next firm to go live.
• Debug live, in production, under pressure. When a migration stalls, a policy blocks a write, or a legacy system returns garbage, you trace it, root cause it, and fix it. Instrument everything so the next deployment doesn't hit the same wall.
