Workplace: remote
At Newcode.ai, we're transforming how law firms and legal professionals harness AI for real-world impact. As part of our collaborative, high-growth team, you'll have the rare opportunity to work side-by-side with visionary founders at the bleeding edge of AI and legal innovation — shaping not just our product, but the future of legal work itself.
Note: We believe in being transparent about what it's like to work at Newcode. As a fast-growing startup, we're building and evolving every day. That means not every process, playbook, or framework is already in place, and priorities can shift quickly.
The people who thrive here are comfortable with ambiguity, take ownership, and don't wait for perfect direction. They are resourceful, proactive, and able to "figure it out"—solving problems, creating structure where needed, and helping build the company as they go. If you are good with this then, great!

Configurable AI platform for law firms
Newcode.ai builds a configurable AI harness for law firms, acting as an intelligence layer that connects firm data, contextualizes knowledge across documents, and creates agentic workflows while letting firms control models, permissions, and deployment (cloud or on-prem). Its products include workflow builders, Word drafting add-ins, and document analysis, with clients such as DLA Piper Nordic and Robinson+Cole. The company’s approach centers on governance and integration rather than a single-purpose chatbot, differentiating it from competitors by offering end-to-end AI workflows aligned to legal workflows. The goal is to help law firms securely adopt AI, scale usage across engagements, and expand in the US market while deepening product and engineering capabilities.
