In just one year, that product became the daily tool of thousands of legal professionals across Switzerland, Germany, and Liechtenstein, and a leading legal AI workspace in those markets. Now we are using that foundation to build something even bigger: the AI-native law firm. Every case our lawyers solve becomes a productized, AI-native service. Legal capability that scales, compounds, and can be deployed on demand for the next client. With a 4.5M raise, we're scaling this across Europe. You'll be joining a young, passionate, and dynamic team of 15. ## THE ROLE You are a lawyer, and you bring your book of relationships with you. You pick up real customer cases and solve them using Omnilex as your weapon. Then you do something almost no lawyer has ever done: you take what you just built and turn it into a productized, AI-native service that the next customer can run on demand. You own the customer end-to-end. You're the person they call, the person they trust, and the person whose name shows up when the contract gets renewed. The legal teams you work with are some of the most demanding in Europe, and they expect to talk to a lawyer. That's you. ## WHAT YOU WILL DO Solve the cases - Pick up real customer matters. Do research, drafting, structuring arguments and deliver work product that holds up. - Be the lawyer in the room when a customer hits a wall they cannot get over alone. Legal-engineer cases into AI-native services - After each case, decompose what you did into reusable building blocks: prompts, workflows, templates, knowledge. - Work with product and engineering to turn those blocks into services any customer can run on Omnilex. - Maintain a portfolio of services you own and iterate with product and engineering until they are as good as the original work. Own the commercial relationship - Be the named lawyer on the account. Senior partners, GCs, and heads of legal deal with you directly. - Convert pilots into multi-year contracts, expand into new practice groups, more seats, and deeper workflows. - Use your existing network to open doors that take Sales months to crack. ## WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE - A library of AI-native services you authored is in production and used daily by companies. - Customers in your portfolio renewed, expanded, and brought in referrals because of you. - Revenue under your ownership grew meaningfully quarter over quarter. ## WHO YOU ARE - You are a Swiss-qualified lawyer. Years on paper matter less than the fact that lawyers and legal buyers take you seriously the moment you walk into the room. - You bring a network. You know lawyers, GCs, partners, or alumni who will pick up the phone when you call, and you can turn those relationships into pilots, contracts, and references. - You like solving cases more than you like talking about solving cases. The legal craft is where you get your energy. - You are tech-curious. AI in law is not threatening to you; it is the most interesting thing happening in the profession. - You can hold your own with managing partners, GCs, engineers, and founders, often in the same week. ## WHY JOIN OMNILEX - You will do legal work that actually matters. Cases for the most sophisticated legal teams in Europe. - You will own a portfolio of customer relationships with real commercial upside. - You will productize your own legal expertise. The services you build outlive any single matter and compound across the platform. - Competitive salary and transparent ESOP. You are early enough that ownership means something. ## About Omnilex ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Omnilex provides an AI-powered workspace that helps legal professionals research laws, court decisions, and literature, draft documents, and analyze cases with transparent citations. - **Entity Type**: Private (Seed/Series A — raised $4.5M in November 2025) - **Headquarters**: Zurich, Switzerland - **Founded**: Not publicly available (team and product suggest inception around 2023–2024) - **Founders**: Etienne Salimbeni (CEO & Co-founder), Marco Henri (CTO & Co-founder); also lists Ari Jordan as Technical Co-Founder on LinkedIn ## Core Business - **Primary Industry**: Legal Technology (LegalTech) / AI for Legal - **Target Customers**: B2B — law firms, corporate legal departments, in-house legal teams, enterprise legal organizations - **Mission**: To reduce the time and complexity of legal research so that legal professionals can focus on strategic, high-value work. ## Products & Services - **Omnilex Legal Research**: AI-powered Q&A that returns well-founded answers based on statutes, case law, and legal commentaries, with verifiable citations. - **Omnilex Grid**: Granular search across curated sources (court rulings, commentaries, internal documents) for precise filtering. - **Omnilex Playbooks**: Automated workflow templates for common legal tasks. - **Omnilex Word Add-In**: Microsoft Word integration for drafting documents while accessing legal research. - **Omnilex Cases**: Upload case documents for AI analysis and consideration within research results. - **Legal Translations**: Accurate, format‑preserving translations for multilingual legal work. - All offerings are SaaS‑based; enterprise plans include custom integrations and APIs. ## Market Standing - **Valuation**: Not disclosed - **Key Metric**: Total Funding — $4.5M (raised in November 2025) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Lead investor not publicly named; development partner of the Swiss Federal Chancellery; member of the ETH AI Center - **Growth Signals**: 140% year‑over‑year employee growth (from ~4 to ~11–20 employees); over 6,000 lawyers rely on Omnilex; expansion into Liechtenstein (announced January 2026); multiple open engineering and go‑to‑market roles ## Competitive Advantages - Deep focus on Swiss and German legal sources — a niche that general‑purpose AI tools do not cover well. - Transparent, verifiable citations that meet the standards of legal professionals. - Developed with and validated by the Swiss Federal Chancellery. - Founders and team from ETH Zurich and EPFL — top technical universities. - Highest data protection: all data stored and processed on certified Microsoft Azure Cloud, compliant with Swiss privacy and professional secrecy laws. ## Strategic Focus - Geographic expansion into German‑speaking Europe (Liechtenstein, Germany, Austria). - Deepening academic and research partnerships (e.g., ETH AI Center). - Building enterprise‑grade features (SSO, custom integrations, priority support) for large legal teams. - Enhancing the product with more automation (Playbooks) and multilingual capabilities. ## Why Work Here - **Work Model**: Hybrid — office presence in Zurich (HQ) and Berlin; several roles explicitly list “Hybrid” (Zürich). - **Team & Culture**: Small, fast‑growing team (~11–20) where each hire has outsized impact; strong engineering culture (AI Engineers, Forward Deployed AI Engineers, Legal Engineers). - **Growth Trajectory**: Recent $4.5M funding, 140% headcount growth, and expanding client base provide career velocity. - **Notable Perks**: Not publicly detailed, but typical for a well‑funded Swiss startup; roles include training and priority support for enterprise clients. - **Recognition**: Part of ETH AI Center; trusted by leading Swiss law firms. ## Sources 1.
