01· Why this role

Shape how this work changes.

AI will rapidly change how evidence is collected, petitions are prepared, and legal teams work. We want someone who is excited to shape that change: applying outstanding legal judgment, challenging existing workflows, and building better tools alongside our product team.

02· What you will own

The mandate.

Lead legal strategy and quality for complex EB-1A and O-1A extraordinary-ability matters, with expertise in EB-2 exceptional ability and national interest waiver cases.
Assess eligibility, identify evidence gaps, and turn complex achievements into clear, persuasive, well-supported arguments.
Develop rigorous standards for petitions, supporting letters, evidence review, and RFE/NOID responses.
Translate legal expertise into product requirements, reusable workflows, and evaluation criteria for AI-assisted work.
Review AI-generated work critically, verify authorities and factual claims, and uphold confidentiality and independent professional judgment.
Collaborate with the founders, engineers, and legal professionals to improve quality, speed, and the applicant experience.

03· Who you are

What we are looking for.

Typically 5–10 years of U.S. immigration-law experience; deeper relevant experience is welcome.
Substantial hands-on expertise in EB-1A and O-1A cases, plus a strong command of exceptional-ability and NIW matters. You can explain the different legal standards and build evidence-driven strategies for each.
J.D. or equivalent qualifying legal degree, with active bar membership in good standing in at least one U.S. jurisdiction and authorization to perform the role's legal duties.
Exceptional legal writing, analytical judgment, and the ability to communicate complex issues clearly.
Comfortable working with founders, researchers, engineers, and other highly accomplished applicants.
Convinced that AI will rapidly reshape immigration practice—and motivated to help build that future while maintaining exacting legal standards.
An owner who combines client empathy, attention to detail, and the initiative to improve how work gets done.

What makes this different

$240,000 base salary, plus equity in what you help build.

Direct influence on the product and the way immigration work gets done.

A consequential role at the intersection of law, technology, and access to opportunity.
