Legal Engineer, Legal AI Assistant

About the Legal Engineer, Legal AI Assistant Role at Wolters Kluwer

As a Legal Engineer, Legal AI Assistant at Wolters Kluwer, you will be working in our Legal & Regulatory division, where we help legal and compliance professionals enhance productivity, mitigate risk, and solve complex problems confidently. There are hundreds of thousands of lawyers across Europe — and at Libra, we’re transforming how they work. Our AI platform combines deep legal reasoning with cutting-edge generative technology, fundamentally changing how lawyers research, draft, and deliver legal work.

You’ll work at the intersection of law, technology, and product innovation. Your mission is to translate complex legal knowledge into AI-powered workflows that deliver measurable impact for our customers. You’ll collaborate closely with our Product, Engineering, and Customer Success teams to build, test, and optimize Libra Assistants and automations that reflect real-world legal reasoning.

This role is ideal for lawyers who are passionate about technology, problem-solving, and building scalable, impactful solutions. You’ll report to the leader of Legal Engineering and work alongside a growing team of passionate professionals. Together, you’ll foster a culture of performance, agility, and customer-centricity—laying the foundation for sustainable growth across the region.
