The Fullstack Engineer will work on enhancing the platform for legal professionals, implementing SQL and Elasticsearch queries, and collaborating with product designers. They will also contribute to optimizing internal engineering practices and shaping the engineering strategy.
Our Mission ⚖️
Since 2016, Doctrine has been committed to a major democratic challenge: making the law more accessible. We are the first AI-powered legal platform that helps lawyers and legal professionals free themselves from repetitive, time-consuming tasks so they can focus on what truly matters—at every stage of their work: whether it’s understanding a case, conducting legal research, or drafting documents.
Today, Doctrine welcomes over 1 million visits every month, with dozens of new legal professionals joining us every single day. Our ambition goes beyond borders: we aim to become the European leader in legal AI. After France, we have already launched Doctrine in Italy, and we are currently expanding into Germany with a strong conviction: you must think globally while executing locally. That’s why we work closely with our clients, striving to understand the unique subtleties of each legal system. And this is just the beginning!
Our Values 🤝
Challenge the status quo. We embrace bold ideas and smart risk-taking.
Liberty and responsibility. We promote autonomy, individual impact, and ownership.
Knowledge is power. Information lies at the heart of Doctrine’s mission, and we always want to learn more.
Release early, release often, and listen to your customers. We believe in the power of iteration and in constantly listening to our market, our clients, and their challenges.
The context
Following rapid and profitable growth in France, Doctrine is laying the first foundations of its international expansion in Germany. We are looking for our first Machine Learning Engineer to help us launch the very first legal intelligence platform on the German market.
This is a strategic role that will directly impact the product roadmap and Doctrine’s future success in Germany.
Please note: the position is based in Paris, in our offices in the 8th arrondissement.
