- **Company:** Supio
- **Location:** Seattle, WA
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** hybrid
- **Posted:** 2026-09-04

## Job description

## About the role

Regulation is coming to legal AI, and Supio is getting ahead of it. We are standing up a brand-new Compliance Platform team to protect the most sensitive data our customers entrust to us — the medical records, police reports, and case files at the heart of every personal injury matter. As the founding backend engineer, you will design and build this platform from the ground up: an internal platform-as-a-service that anonymizes, de-identifies, and pseudonymizes PII and PHI while keeping documents fully usable by our AI systems, with rigorous auditing, access control, and reporting on top. It is a founding seat with executive visibility, a real delivery timeline, and company-wide impact from day one.

## What you'll do

- Architect and build new features for an internal compliance platform-as-a-service that integrates with Supio's existing systems
- Build anonymization, de-identification, and pseudonymization pipelines for customer PII and PHI — medical records, police reports, and other case documents — that keep data usable for AI workflows
- Implement audit trails covering every access to a customer file, whether by a Supio employee, a system, or a customer
- Build tracking and enforcement for BAAs, customer contracts, data opt-in/opt-out, data residency, and geographic compliance requirements.
- Design access controls with chain-of-command approval enforcement, and the reporting to show who accessed what, why, and with what authorization.
- Build notification and remediation workflows so issues are found and fixed, not just logged.
- Partner closely with DevOps, engineering teams across Supio, and the Office of the CTO — our privacy function.

## What you'll bring

- 7+ years of backend engineering experience, with significant time on data-sensitive systems
- You have built a compliance, privacy, or data-governance platform before. This is the bar — we are looking for someone who has done this work, not someone adjacent to it
- Deep, practical knowledge of HIPAA and the safe handling of PHI and PII
- Experience with agentic AI development, or building platforms that AI systems consume
- Familiarity with SOC 2, HITRUST, or similar frameworks
- Strong experience with cloud data infrastructure — S3, relational databases, and the AWS ecosystem
- A security-first mindset: authentication, authorization, least privilege, audit logging
- Comfort moving quickly toward a real regulatory deadline without cutting corners
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

Nice-to-haves

- Time in legal, healthcare, or another regulated industry

## How we hire

Our standard engineering interview process, including an engineering leadership screen that goes deep on your compliance platform experience.

## Compensation

As an early-stage startup, we offer a competitive compensation package that includes base salary, meaningful equity, and benefits. Equity grants are designed to ensure employees share in the long-term success and upside of the company.

Base Salary by Location

- Seattle, WA: $170,000 – $243,000 annually
- San Francisco, CA: $200,000 - $255,000 annually

Actual compensation may vary outside of these ranges based on a number of factors, including a candidate’s qualifications, skills, competencies, experience, and geographic location.

- **Founded**: 2021
- **Founders**: Jerry Zhou (Co-Founder & CEO) and Kyle Lam (Co-Founder & CTO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Legal technology (AI for plaintiff-side personal injury and mass tort litigation)
- **Target customers**: B2B – personal injury law firms, mass tort firms, and plaintiff legal teams
- **Mission or purpose**: “Level the playing field for injured people — ensuring evidence is never missed, injuries are never undervalued, and justice is never lost to the sheer volume of information humans must process.”

## Products & Services
- **Supio Agent**: An end-to-end agentic AI platform that connects every dimension of a plaintiff practice — from intake through resolution, case intelligence through firm-wide analytics. It handles document organization, medical record review, drafting demands, litigation documents, and case insights.
- **AI Assistant**: Acts as a paralegal, nurse consultant, and strategic attorney — organizes documents, flags medical issues, and refines arguments.
- **Medical Chronologies**: Creates precise chronologies from medical records with filters and AI chat capabilities.
- **Case Signals**: Identifies missing records, undiagnosed injuries, and other key gaps in a case.
- **Drafting Suite**: Drafts interrogatories, deposition questions, statements, and other legal documents aligned to firm style.
- **Case Economics**: Provides billing snapshots, ledgers, and valuation tools.
- **Demands**: Auto-generates injury descriptions and ICD codes, editable via chat.
- **Supio API & Connectors**: Integrates with existing case management systems and document platforms for seamless workflows.

- **Notable Investors / Partners**: Lead investor Sapphire Ventures (Series A & B); partners include Thomson Reuters and leading Trial Lawyer Associations
- **Growth Signals**: 135 employees (64.7% YoY growth); platform has supported over $1 billion in settlements; one firm saved 437 hours across six cases; $500–$1,000 saved per case; expanding into Canada (Toronto hires)

## Competitive Advantages
- **Agentic AI purpose-built for plaintiff law** – not a generic AI tool bolted onto legal workflows, but an end-to-end platform designed from the ground up for personal injury and mass torts.
- **Security & Compliance** – SOC 2 Type II certified, HIPAA, PHIPA, and GDPR compliant; client data never leaves their control and never trains foundation models.
- **Human-in-the-loop QA** – Combines specialized AI with expert human accuracy to ensure reliability.
- **Deep integrations** – Connects with major case management systems and offers an API for custom workflows.
- **Partnerships** – Backed by Thomson Reuters and top trial lawyer associations, giving authoritative intelligence.

## Strategic Focus
- Continue to dominate the plaintiff personal injury and mass tort AI market.
- Expand geographically (recent Canada hiring push) and scale the agentic platform to larger firms.
- Deepen product capabilities across pre-litigation and litigation, with an emphasis on firm-wide analytics and case economics.
- Grow headcount across engineering, customer success, sales, marketing, and product to support sustained leadership in the PI industry.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture & Mission**: “AI for people, not systems” – the team is passionate about leveling the playing field for injured people and transforming how legal professionals work.
- **Work Model**: Hybrid – focused remote work blended with in-person collaboration at offices in San Francisco (SOMA) and Seattle (HQ). Flexibility is core, with intentional in-person connection for shared momentum.
- **Engineering Culture**: “AI-native thinking” – AI is baked into the DNA of every experience, not bolted on. Teams work on ambitious goals that directly impact real cases.
- **Benefits**: Comprehensive benefits designed to support health, growth, and life beyond the office.
- **Growth Stage**: With $91M raised and a clear growth trajectory, employees can have high impact in a scaling organization.
