Job Overview

Relativity is a leading legal data intelligence company building technology that helps users organize data, discover the truth, and act on it with confidence. Our AI-powered, cloud platform, RelativityOne, transforms massive volumes of complex information into actionable insights for litigation, investigations, regulatory inquiries, data breach responses, and other high-stakes legal work where accuracy and trust are crucial.

The world’s largest law firms, corporations, and government agencies rely on Relativity’s legal AI software to securely surface and manage the most relevant and impactful information in their matters.

WHAT WE DO

At Relativity, engineers do more than write code - they build systems that enable users to uncover insights from complex data at scale using cloud-native architecture, AI, and modern tools.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're looking for a curious, technically capable AI Software Engineer to join our engineering team. In this role, you'll build and ship features across our product, with a particular focus on integrating AI capabilities, including LLM-powered functionality and AI-assisted development practices, into scalable, API-first systems.

This is an individual contributor role ideal for someone early in their career who wants hands-on experience building production software while working alongside experienced engineers. You'll contribute code, participate in system design discussions, work with modern data platforms such as MongoDB, and help bring AI-driven features to life while continuing to grow your technical skills in a collaborative, fast-paced environment.
