Job Title
Senior Product Engineer
Company Description
Alecto - AI-native law firm backed by Firstminute Capital
Job Description
Join Alecto as an early engineer to fix the UK’s broken £2.5bn conveyancing market. You will lead a vertical-specific team with P&L accountability, shipping agentic AI workflows that navigate complex legal processes. Working directly with the founder who scaled Gen H to £1bn in lending, you'll shape product direction from day one.
Location
London, UK
Why this role is remarkable
- Ship to production in your first week within an autonomous team that operates like a startup-within-a-startup, owning an entire market vertical and its P&L.
- Join a high-traction venture that hit $2M in annualized revenue just two months after launch, backed by top-tier investors like Firstminute Capital and Mishcon de Reya.
- Work on high-stakes technical problems building AI agents and LLM-powered systems that go beyond simple prompting to automate complex legal transactions.
What you will do
- Design and deploy agentic AI workflows and LLM-powered systems using a modern stack including TypeScript, React, tRPC, Inngest, and GCP.
- Collaborate directly with users to define product hypotheses and translate fuzzy requirements into high-impact features that solve real-world legal friction.
- Take full ownership of outcomes by fixing systemic problems, refining AI workflows, and contributing to a high-craft engineering culture with monthly performance reviews.
The ideal candidate
- Proven experience at high-growth or early-stage startups with a track record of driving product direction and scaling complex TypeScript projects.
- Deep technical instinct for building beyond simple prompts, ideally with experience in machine learning or deploying sophisticated AI agents into production.
- A relentless, low-ego problem solver who thinks in terms of user problems rather than tickets and thrives in environments of high ambiguity and autonomy.
