## Job description

## Our Mission ⚖️

At Doctrine, we're building Europe's leading legal AI platform. Our belief? Law shouldn't be slowed down by repetitive tasks. It should be augmented by a specialised AI, designed to understand, analyse and produce legal reasoning at the highest standard. Our ambition? To help legal professionals work with greater reliability, efficiency and peace of mind, through a single, comprehensive and secure platform. Today, 27,000 legal professionals across five countries (France, Italy, Germany, Spain and Luxembourg) trust us to do just that. Our growth is guided by a clear approach: a global vision, grounded in a deep understanding of local specificities. Behind this ambition, a team of around 250 people, united around one goal: supporting lawyers and legal professionals at every stage of their work, from research to drafting. And we're just getting started.

Context We are looking for a confirmed/senior Machine Learning Engineer to help us build the first legal AI platform. You’ll join the “Scribe” team with a clear mission: revolutionize legal drafting (Drafting) in France, Italy, and Germany. We deploy cutting-edge solutions (LLMs) directly where lawyers and legal professionals work. Your roadmap (3–6 months): Web App: Build a multi-document drafting tool and a dedicated chatbot. Integrations: Launch add-ins to assist daily legal drafting. AI & Translation: Enhance our automatic PDF translation features. Our web tech stack is based on NodeJS, NestJS, React & NextJS.

You can find full details about our stack on GitHub https://github.com/DoctrineLegal/#our-tech-stack !

Note: Previous professional experience in law is not required, but a willingness to learn and develop expertise in understanding legal documents is important 🙂

Missions 🛠

- Develop NLP models (whether based on Machine Learning or not) to assist with information search and recommendation within legal documents, in particular.
- Maintain and monitor these models in production.
- Design conversational agents to accelerate lawyers’ work across various areas of law, ensuring accurate responses and facilitating drafting tasks.
- Collaborate with different types of profiles, including engineers, product managers, and product designers, to identify new product development opportunities.
- Participate in internal knowledge sharing and consolidation of best practices; contribute to the development of our Engineering strategy.

Ideal Profile 👀

- Strong knowledge of Machine Learning (both classical and deep learning) for data extraction and recommendation, ideally with some first-hand experience with LLMs.
- Experience with natural language search engines and inverted indexes such as Elasticsearch.
- Solid understanding of MLOps challenges, with a strong motivation to grow in this area.
- A keen interest in artificial intelligence topics.
- Desire to identify, analyze, and deploy the latest scientific advances in production.
- Strong Python development skills, with a focus on algorithm design.
- Proficiency in French, as you will be working with legal data in French.

Extras of the role 👁

- Like all engineers at Doctrine, you will join one of our cross-functional chapters — in this case, the Web chapter. Within this chapter, you will contribute to internal projects aimed at improving our processes and shaping our long-term vision. The chapter meets every week to:
- Share knowledge: keep track of the state of the art, review scientific papers, continuous improvement, best practices, etc.
- Propose improvements: experiment with new tools, suggest new processes to implement.
- You will also take part in recruitment: all individual contributors meet candidates through technical assessments or interviews.
