Job Description

Product Engineer, Backend

Alaro

• You will build the backend systems that make Alaro’s product reliable, extensible, and safe to use in real legal work. • These systems power everything lawyers see and trust: documents, matters, permissions, agent actions, and the workflows that tie them together. • At a high level, we are building a Cursor-like environment for legal work, where lawyers collaborate with agents that can search, reason, and act on documents, while remaining auditable, reversible, and correct. • This is a product-first backend engineering role. To succeed, you’ll need to understand the full product surface and agent behavior, so you can design systems that evolve quickly without breaking under real-world usage. • Core product APIs: design and evolve the APIs that power the lawyer dashboard: matters, documents, chats, permissions, and email integration, so legal work stays coherent across tools, collaborators, and time. • Data models and pipelines: define and maintain data structures that support evolving product and agent workflows, including document state, provenance, permissions, and history. You’ll think carefully about boundaries, migrations, and long-term extensibility. • Agent-facing backend surfaces: build the primitives that let agents safely operate in the system: scoped permissions, state transitions, execution boundaries, and backend objects that unlock new tools and workflows without sacrificing control. • Infrastructure and reliability: own backend systems in production. Contribute to deployments, observability, performance, and cost awareness, while keeping the focus on product reliability rather than infrastructure for its own sake.

Job Requirements

  • Ship production backend systems with high ownership and follow them through when they break.
  • Design data models and APIs that evolve quickly without constant rewrites.
  • Are comfortable building in Python across application logic, data engineering, and light infrastructure work.
  • Can translate ambiguous product goals into reliable systems that real users depend on.
  • Are excited to build the backend foundations that enable powerful product and agent workflows.

Benefits

  • Meaningful ownership: Competitive salary and meaningful equity, with real responsibility and impact from day one.
  • Small team, real impact: You’ll work closely with founders and a small group of senior engineers, shaping core systems, culture, and how the company operates as it grows.
  • AI-first tooling: An unlimited budget for AI coding agents and tools. We expect you to use them heavily, and we design our systems so they can actually help.
  • Time together that matters: We bring the whole company together once a year for an offsite in Alaro (Mallorca), and regularly gather the team in one of our offices to align, whiteboard, and plan in person.
