Eversheds Sutherland (Konexo) is looking for a Legal AI Engineer to lead AI and automation initiatives across internal and client-facing legal workflows. In this role, you will design and deploy agentic AI systems, build robust AI governance frameworks, and implement RAG-based LLM solutions. This strategic position combines deep technical expertise with legal domain knowledge to drive measurable ROI and responsible AI adoption.
Responsibilities
Design and deploy multi-step agentic AI workflows for tasks such as contract review, due diligence, compliance monitoring, and intake routing.
Build and maintain AI governance frameworks, including human-review checkpoints, hallucination detection, output verification, and audit trails.
Develop, refine, and version-control advanced prompts and LLM call chains, including retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) architectures.
Ensure compliance with evolving AI regulations (EU AI Act, state AI laws, federal guidance) in all AI deployments.
Evaluate legal AI vendors and make informed build-vs-buy decisions based on governance capability and ROI potential.
Identify automation opportunities, implement solutions, and measure outcomes such as cycle time reduction and accuracy improvements.
Requirements
Bachelor's degree required; JD or advanced technical degree (Computer Science, Data Science) is a meaningful differentiator.
Recruitifyo appears to be a recruitment or staffing entity that posts various job listings, including remote positions across multiple industries. The nature of the entity is unclear as it acts as a aggregator for job postings that often lead to different external companies or platforms.
Minimum 5 years in the legal industry (law firm, consulting, ALSP, or in-house legal) with at least 3 years implementing AI or automation solutions in a legal context.
Hands-on proficiency with LLM orchestration, prompt engineering, RAG architectures, and agentic AI design.
Strong understanding of AI governance, risk management, and hallucination mitigation.
Nice to Have
Juris Doctor (JD) or advanced technical degree (Computer Science, Data Science)
Experience with client-specific AI deployments and the legal AI vendor landscape
