You will be responsible for translating complex legal business challenges into scalable, secure, governed, and production ready AI solutions that integrate seamlessly with Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) platforms, legal workflow tools, enterprise systems, and authoritative systems of record.\nThis is a hands on architecture role, not a purely advisory position. In addition to owning solution architecture and technical direction, you will actively design, develop, validate, and deploy production ready AI capabilities, reference implementations, integrations, and workflow automation solutions.\nYou will establish architecture patterns, guide platform and technology decisions, evaluate buy versus build opportunities, and ensure AI is embedded into governed and auditable legal processes. Success in this role requires deep technical expertise, strong solution architecture capabilities, and the ability to influence stakeholders across Legal, IT, Security, Compliance, Procurement, and enterprise technology teams.\nKey Responsibilities\nSolution Architecture & Technical Leadership\nArchitect end-to-end AI enabled legal solutions spanning intake, contract lifecycle management, compliance workflows, legal operations, document intelligence, and post signature insights.\nTranslate business challenges into scalable technical architectures, including application design, workflow orchestration, integration patterns, data flows, security controls, AI services, and deployment models.\nDefine solution blueprints, reference architectures, reusable design patterns, and technical standards for Legal AI initiatives.\nLead architecture reviews and technical decision making across legal technology platforms, enterprise systems, and AI capabilities.\nDrive technology strategy and roadmap recommendations for legal workflow automation and AI enabled legal operations.\nAI Solution Design & Delivery\nDesign and deliver production ready AI agents, copilots, orchestration services, APIs, and automation solutions that solve legal business challenges.\nDevelop AI enabled capabilities supporting contract analysis, clause extraction, obligation tracking, document summarization, compliance validation, legal intake, risk identification, and workflow acceleration.\nDesign and implement agentic and multi agent architectures that integrate intelligence services into governed legal workflows.\nEstablish evaluation frameworks, monitoring patterns, observability standards, and performance metrics to ensure reliable AI solution operation.\nLead architecture decisions regarding model selection, orchestration approaches, retrieval strategies, and enterprise AI integration patterns.\nEnterprise Integration & Platform Architecture\nDesign secure, scalable integrations between AI capabilities, CLM platforms, workflow tools, enterprise applications, and systems of record.\nDefine integration patterns that maintain proper separation between:AI reasoning and intelligence layers\nWorkflow orchestration platforms\nBusiness applications\nData services\nSystems of record\n\nEnsure legal systems retain authoritative ownership of records, approvals, contracts, and compliance workflows while AI capabilities augment decision making and productivity.\nCollaborate with enterprise architecture, platform engineering, and security teams to establish scalable solution patterns.\nBuy vs. Build & Vendor Evaluation\nLead buy versus build assessments for Legal AI capabilities and workflow solutions.\nEvaluate vendors, platforms, and emerging technologies against business requirements, integration complexity, risk, security, scalability, and total cost of ownership considerations.\nProvide technical due diligence, architecture recommendations, implementation estimates, and adoption strategies for legal technology investments.\nPartner with vendors and implementation teams to ensure solutions align with enterprise architecture standards.\nGovernance, Security & Responsible AI\nEstablish architecture standards supporting Responsible AI, security, privacy, regulatory compliance, auditability, and enterprise governance requirements.\nDesign controls and guardrails that ensure AI solutions operate safely within regulated legal and compliance processes.\nPartner with Security, Risk, Compliance, and Legal stakeholders to incorporate governance requirements into solution designs.\nEnsure solutions meet enterprise standards for data protection, access control, monitoring, resiliency, and operational support.\nTechnical Leadership & Team Enablement\nProvide architecture leadership, technical mentorship, and implementation guidance to engineers, data scientists, and solution teams.\nLead technical design reviews and establish engineering best practices for AI development and deployment.\nDrive adoption of reusable components, reference implementations, and enterprise solution standards.\nInfluence cross functional teams through technical expertise, strategic thinking, and collaborative leadership.\nServe as the primary technical authority for Legal AI architecture and solution design.\nRequired Qualifications\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, Data Science, or a related technical field.\n8+ years of experience architecting and delivering enterprise software, workflow, integration, or AI enabled solutions in production environments.\nProven experience serving as a Solution Architect, Lead Engineer, Technical Architect, or comparable technical leadership role.\nStrong hands on software engineering experience with the ability to personally design, develop, test, and deploy production ready solutions.\nExtensive experience building AI enabled applications leveraging large language models, agentic architectures, retrieval systems, orchestration frameworks, and enterprise AI services.\nDemonstrated experience architecting enterprise workflows that span multiple business systems, applications, data sources, and organizational stakeholders.\nStrong proficiency with Python, API design, integration patterns, cloud native development, and modern software architecture principles.\nExperience leveraging AI assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or similar) to accelerate software delivery and solution development.\nProven ability to make architecture tradeoff decisions balancing business value, technical complexity, security, scalability, maintainability, and total cost of ownership.\nStrong communication and facilitation skills with the ability to engage technical teams, business stakeholders, legal professionals, and executive leadership.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience implementing or architecting solutions for Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM), legal operations, compliance, procurement, regulatory affairs, or enterprise workflow automation.\nFamiliarity with platforms such as Agiloft, Eudia, ServiceNow, GEP, Harvey AI or similar legal technology ecosystems. \nExperience designing AI solutions for:Contract review and analysis\nClause and obligation extraction\nLegal research support\nCompliance validation\nLegal intake and matter routing\nMarketing compliance workflows\nProcurement contracting\n\nKnowledge of enterprise architecture frameworks, integration platforms, API management, and workflow orchestration platforms.\nExperience implementing Responsible AI, AI governance, model evaluation, and enterprise AI monitoring practices.\nFamiliarity with security, privacy, auditability, and risk management requirements associated with regulated business processes.\nExperience influencing platform, vendor, and architecture decisions at enterprise
