  • Familiarity with legal and compliance systems concepts such as contract lifecycle management and regulatory filing workflows
  • Familiarity with multi-agent orchestration concepts
  • Experience in a Forward Deployed Engineering, Solutions Engineering, or embedded technical advisory capacity, ideally in legal-tech or compliance-tech environments

Nice to have
