Role
Who you are

- You’ll be able to give working examples of database and system design, event-driven programming, and microservice architecture
- Any hands on experience of message brokers (we use RabbitMQ)
- You’ll have worked in an Agile environment and truly embody what it means to be Agile
- We’ll want to see you land key messages throughout our interview process, show us you’re a team player, and demonstrate you’re a lifelong learner
What the job involves
- Our Agile best practices are alive and well with communication and collaboration across frontend and backend teams
- We are goal and risk oriented - meaning we take a risk driven development approach allowing us to talk openly about the risks of upcoming implementations
- We don’t work on legacy code. We experiment and find new ways to move forward in collaboration with the rest of the team
- The law should be accessible to everyone, and this is where your skills will improve the user onboarding to our platform by providing a better user experience
- You’ll start off by working on the new onboarding flow, and improve security aspects of Genie’s backend by working in the user and security permissions area
- This role is joining us at a very exciting stage of our growth journey so your role will literally be defined as your performing in it
- Your skills will be developed by Daniele (our Technical Director - Product Engineering), and your teammate in this small and adaptable WebApp team is Giovanni (our Senior Backend Engineer)
- They have a generative culture, they constantly learn, seek feedback, and experiment
- As a Senior Backend Engineer at Genie AI you’ll be joining us in a dynamic stage of our growth so you’ll face lots of different challenges
- Communicating and collaborating regularly with product management (PM), frontend, and other backend engineers to provide a five star user experience - we don’t do silo’s here
- Discovering new ways of implementing the solutions for the challenges we face at Genie. For example, managing large and complex data structures as well as sophisticated workflows
- You’ll use your problem solving and questioning skills to clearly define your tasks. You’ll work with PM and other team members to clarify and streamline
- In executing some of the things above you’ll be doing code implementation, code review, system and database design
- Our current tech stack includes NodeJS, Typescript, and MongoDB

Our take
Genie AI is a machine learning startup with a mission to open source the law. Its platform automates the drafting and review of legal contracts through workflow tools and AI. Companies on Genie no longer have to pay £5000 to a law firm for their contract, but can pay Genie a cheaper monthly fee instead.
Genie is not just AI - it works with a marketplace of top tier lawyers, combining the best of human and machine intelligence to deeply understand contracts. Its state of the art deep learning, private and explainable machine learning algorithms have been developed in conjunction with professors at Imperial College, UCL and Oxford University, and the team have published papers in top NLP conferences with Oxford University. The company most recently partnered with The University of Bristol to provide free legal contracts for the next generation of entrepreneurs.
Genie is already becoming a leader in the legaltech industry, having been selected on multiple government trade missions, mentioned in parliament by the Secretary of State for Justice, and backed by world leaders such as Lord Neuberger, the former President of the Supreme Court. It is very well positioned in the generative AI market that is expected to be worth around $110B by 2030.
