The firm is currently building a dedicated AI function — one of the most substantive investments in legal technology infrastructure a firm of our size has undertaken — and this role is the cornerstone of that effort.
What the role entails:
The Legal Engineer is the bridge between TKD's attorneys and its AI infrastructure. This is not a technology role that happens to sit near lawyers — it is a legal operations role that requires deep fluency in both legal practice and AI tooling. The person in this role will own the attorney-facing layer of the firm's AI program: designing workflows, managing pilots, running training and adoption, and ensuring that AI capabilities translate into genuine value inside legal practice.
This role works in close collaboration with the Head of AI, training co-lead, and the incoming AI Engineer. It is a high-visibility, high-impact position with significant room to shape how the firm builds and evolves its AI function over time.
Essential responsibilities include:
AI Workflow Design & Implementation
Design and build AI-enabled legal workflows across practice areas, including litigation, transactional, business immigration, and corporateTranslate attorney needs into structured, repeatable workflow architectures that leverage AI platforms effectivelyDocument and maintain workflow templates, playbooks, and standard operating proceduresIdentify and scope high-ROI workflow automation opportunities across the firmPilot Management
Serve as the primary day-to-day manager of vendor pilotsCoordinate between pilot participants, vendor support teams, and firm leadershipCollect structured feedback, develop evaluation scorecards, and synthesize results for the Fractional Head of AI and executive committeeManage pilot timelines, participation, and vendor communicationsAI Training & Adoption
Co-lead firm-wide AI training and adoption program.Develop and deliver training sessions tailored to different practice areas and staff functionsHost recurring office hours for attorneys seeking one-on-one platform supportIdentify and cultivate super users and practice group AI leads across the firmSupport the intern desk-to-desk support program as a supervisor and resourcePlatform Proficiency & Vendor Relations
Develop deep proficiency in each AI platform deployed by the firm — going beyond standard user training to the level of real-time troubleshooting and workflow coachingStay current on platform updates, new features, and competitive alternativesMaintain working relationships with vendor contacts and serve as a liaison between the firm and vendor support teamsSupport vendor evaluation processes under the direction of the Fractional Head of AIQuality Assurance & Feedback Loops
Establish error handling protocols and quality review processes for AI-generated outputs in legal workflowsMaintain a structured feedback loop between attorneys, the AI function, and firm leadershipTrack and document AI use cases across practice groups — what is working, what is not, and what the data suggests about next stepsQualifications and skills:
J.D. required.Minimum of two years of law practice experience at a law firm, in-house legal department, or public sector office. Active bar admission not required, but candidates must have practiced law. Demonstrated experience designing and deploying legal workflows on one or more AI-native legal platforms (e.g., Harvey, Jylo, CaseBlink, Litera One, ContractMatrix, Legora, or comparable tools). End-user familiarity is not sufficient — candidates should be able to describe specific workflows they architected, the legal process problems those workflows addressed, and how they were adopted by attorneys in practice.Hands-on software development experience beyond low-code and no-code tooling. Candidates must be able to point to applications they have built or meaningfully contributed to in a professional or project context. Proficiency with development tools and AI frameworks is expected — including one or more of the following: LangChain, LangFlow, GitHub, Cursor, Claude Code, or OpenAI Codex. This is not a requirement for a senior software engineer; it is a requirement that the candidate has written real code, understands how software gets built, and can work credibly alongside an AI engineer on custom application development.Strong understanding of legal workflows across at least one practice area (transactional, litigation, immigration, or similar), with the ability to translate those workflows into structured, AI-ready process designs.Excellent communication skills — able to explain technical concepts to non-technical attorneys and translate attorney feedback into actionable technical direction.Highly organized, self-directed, and capable of managing multiple workstreams simultaneously.Demonstrated ability to design and deliver training or change management programs.Familiarity with Microsoft Azure AI Foundry, Copilot, or similar enterprise AI infrastructure preferred.Experience with AI prompt engineering and structured workflow documentation preferred.Prior experience building or managing an AI, legal tech, or legal operations function preferred.In compliance with federal law, all persons hired will be required to verify identity and eligibility to work in the United States and to complete the required employment eligibility verification form upon hire.TKD is currently maintaining a hybrid schedule structured as Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays in-office with the option to be remote Mondays and Fridays.
What success looks like:
In the first 90 days, a successful Legal Engineer will have: onboarded and begun actively managing the firm's vendor pilots; delivered at least two attorney training sessions with documented outcomes; developed workflow documentation for at least one practice area; and established a regular cadence of feedback collection from pilot participants. By six months, they will have become the firm's go-to resource for AI workflow questions — the person attorneys come to when they don't know how to get AI to do what they need.
