## About the job
At Mary Technology, our mission is to solve the greatest bottleneck of the legal industry: [*Fact Chaos](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOWgdvdPIDs), the overwhelming disorder and inefficiency that arises when law firms manage massive volumes of unstructured information.*
The Scale of the Problem
•Firm-Level Impact: In a 1,000-person law firm, over 500 staff focus on repetitive admin tasks, costing them approx. $27.5M annually.
•Global Impact: Across common law jurisdictions, 1.2 million support staff are trapped in this manual workflow, costing over $96B.
•AI Risk: Even advanced AI systems mis-state facts in 17–33% of legal responses due to chaotic, unstructured data.
We're building the future of legal intelligence: intuitive, scalable tools that help lawyers spend less time untangling facts and more time on high-value thinking. From streamlining case timelines to surfacing the key insights buried in documents, we're reimagining what legal work can be.
We're early, growing fast, and driven by a deep belief that great software can make lawyers' lives dramatically easier, and increase access to justice for everyone.
If you're excited by AI, impact, and shaping the next generation of legal work, we want to hear from you. We're currently working with the largest law firms in Australia, as well as 50+ small & mid-tier legal businesses.
**Why Join Us?**
- **Tackle frontier intelligence and real-world scale**
You'll work at the edge of what's possible, solving open problems in legal reasoning while building systems that operate at real-world scale and complexity.
- **Build with purpose and velocity**
Your work will ship fast and matter immediately. We move quickly from idea to impact, supporting real legal teams working on real cases.
- **Grow inside a high-performance team**
Our team is small by design. You'll work with people who care deeply about their craft and push each other to think better, build faster, and raise the bar—together.
**The Role**
As a Software Engineer at Mary Technology, you'll own the delivery of end-to-end features that drive real value for lawyers. You'll work across the stack—from shaping product discovery to deploying production-ready systems and be trusted to make decisions that matter.
You'll collaborate with design, product and legal experts to deeply understand user pain points, then architect and iterate on solutions that reduce friction and surface clarity. One week you might be designing a system to intelligently deduplicate overlapping facts across documents; the next, scaling our processing pipeline to handle 100,000-page case files within minutes.
We ship fast, learn from real usage, and measure success in how much better a lawyer's day becomes.
**Core Responsibilities**
**Ship end-to-end features that solve real lawyer pain**
You'll drive the product roadmap as much as the implementation—proposing features, shaping scope, and owning architectural choices end-to-end.
**Co-design complex features with a cross-disciplinary team**
You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with a former lawyer, a product designer and other engineers to bring clarity to complex legal work.
**Engineer for clarity and scale**
Build robust systems that can sustain the substantial growth our team is experiencing.
**Continuously improve how we build**
Shape our engineering culture, tools, and practices. Help us scale both our tech and team as we grow.
**What We Value**
- **Agency:** You move decisively through ambiguity and take ownership end-to-end.
- **Taste:** You have a sharp eye for quality across UX, product and engineering.
- **Craft** Ob**session** – You're energised by gnarly problems and by making both the platform as-well the team higher functioning.
**What We Require**
- **Proven record of shipping** – You've delivered production systems(preferably in a fast-moving startup)
- **Fluent coder** – Comfortable in Python **and/or** TypeScript (or a close relative) and happy to learn the rest of our stack.
- **Bias for speed over ceremony** – You iterate quickly, prefer small PRs, and see process as a tool, not a religion.
**Bonus Points For**
- Experience with building infrastructure to scale
- Knowledge & experience in AI implementations, LLMs and ML
### Why Join Us?
We're crossing the Product-Market-Fit chasm right now—revenue compounding double-digit MoM, working with Australia's largest law firms ditching spreadsheets and manual processes for our **Fact Management System**.
That gives you two existential problems to tackle:
1. **Scale the engine** – ingest millions of documents, index billions of facts, and drive processing times down to *minutes*, not hours
2. **Secure Legal AGI's foothold** – design the data and model layer that lets future AI reason reliably over structured truth, not PDF soup.
If building that foundation sounds more fun than polishing yet-another SaaS dashboard, get in touch.
