Responsibilities
This is the Head of Legal Engineering role for an attorney who wants to shape how legal judgment works inside an AI product.

Required
A lawyer with sharp judgment. You can read unclear guidance, see where it conflicts, and decide how it should apply.
Fluent in AI. You use AI tools every day, understand what they can and can't do, and get excited about making them work better rather than being skeptical of them.
Clear and credible with legal and compliance leaders. You're comfortable presenting to GCs, CCOs, and senior marketing stakeholders.
A systems thinker. You look past the individual question to the framework behind it, and you design approaches that hold up across many customers, regulations, and use cases.
Data-driven about quality. You look for patterns instead of chasing individual flags, and you measure whether your changes actually helped.
A leader who raises the standard. You're excited to take a high-impact function and make it stronger as Blee grows.
