Legal Transformer, X’s Moonshot for Specialized Professional Intelligence

OperationsMountain View, CA (HQ)

About X:

X is Alphabet’s moonshot factory with a mission of inventing and launching “moonshot” technologies that could someday make the world a radically better place. We are a diverse group of inventors and entrepreneurs who build and launch technologies that aim to improve the lives of millions, even billions, of people. Our goal: 10x impact on the world’s most intractable problems, not just 10% improvement. We approach projects that have the aspiration and riskiness of research with the speed and ambition of a startup. As an innovation engine, X focuses on repeatedly turning breakthrough-technology ideas into the foundations for large, sustainable businesses.

About the team:

We're a small, passionate and driven team of experienced ML researchers, software engineers and product managers on a mission to make the practice of law radically more efficient and accurate. Our legal moonshot is focusing on de-risking our technology quickly, refining our tech prototypes, running experiments with partners and developing a valuable product for our users. Our culture is one of mutual care and respect, individual competence and most important of all, fun!

About the role:

We are looking for a Legal Transformer to help pioneer the next generation of generative AI tools designed specifically for litigators. Moving away from the traditional linear model of bespoke, one-off legal advice, this role represents a paradigm shift: applying deep legal expertise to build scalable, extensible, and flexible AI-driven solutions across massive data volumes.

You will bridge the gap between elite litigation practice and technical product development. Working alongside software developers and machine learning experts, you will help design an architecture that synthesizes tens of millions of pieces of unstructured, multi-modal data into a cohesive, real-time story. Crucially, you will ensure this platform is built with absolute auditability at its core, enabling legal professionals to see not just what determination was reached, but the precise, source-cited audit trail of why.

How you will make 10X Impact:

  • Scale legal expertise: Translate your firsthand knowledge of litigation workflows into robust, reusable, and adaptable AI features that augment how litigators conduct research, analyze filings, and build cases.
  • Enforce auditability and oversight: Champion product design that prioritizes transparency, ensuring that the "why" and "how" behind every AI-generated output is fully verifiable and reviewable by legal professionals.
  • Cross-functional collaboration: Partner directly with software engineers, product managers, and UX designers to guide the product vision, troubleshoot complex legal use cases, and ensure the tool behaves with the rigor of an elite litigator.
  • Workflow mapping: Conduct deep-dive analysis of litigation lifecycles—from initial case assessment through discovery and motion practice—to identify opportunities where GenAI can securely optimize workflows.
  • Embrace "in-the-trenches" data work: Roll up your sleeves for the rigorous, hands-on evaluation required to enable frontier models. This means grading hundreds of AI-generated outputs and meticulously breaking down thousands of documents; you understand that teaching a living knowledge system to augment attorney work requires deeply engaging with the exact tasks that define it.
  • Subject matter expert: Serve as the internal authority on the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) and litigation best practices, ensuring the platform remains compliant, accurate, and deeply credible to top-tier legal teams.
  • Continuous improvement: Actively participate in the evaluation and continuous reinforcement of the AI’s outputs, using your legal mindset to stress-test the product against real-world adversarial scenarios.

What you should have:

  • Juris Doctor (JD) from a top law school.
  • 2+ years of experience practicing litigation within a top-tier law firm (Big Law) or elite corporate in-house team.
  • Deep mastery of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) and a comprehensive understanding of the mechanics of discovery, motion practice, and trial preparation.
  • A product-oriented mindset: Enthusiasm for moving from 1:1 client advisory work to building scalable, technology-driven systems that empower thousands of practitioners.
  • Analytical precision: The ability to deconstruct complex legal reasoning into structured logic that can inform AI behavior and user-facing audit trails.
  • Exceptional communication skills: Ability to articulate nuanced legal requirements to technical teams and present sophisticated AI solutions clearly to legal stakeholders.
  • Curiosity and grit: A strong passion for the intersection of law and generative AI, with a desire to redefine the boundaries of legal tech.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
