Description
About CaseGuild
CaseGuild builds the industry’s most advanced evidence reasoning platform for complex litigation, helping legal teams investigate massive document sets and surface critical facts with speed and precision.
We’re a fast-growing, early-stage Seattle startup building deeply technical systems at the intersection of distributed systems, data infrastructure, and AI platforms. We operate at billions of tokens, where latency, reliability, and correctness matter. You’ll join a small, senior team that ships production systems daily, measures everything, and iterates based on real-world performance.
The Role
This role is for a systems-focused startup engineer who thinks from first principles and has built and operated large-scale production systems.
You’ve spent years designing, building, and running systems where failure modes, tail latency, throughput, and operational simplicity mattered. You enjoy reasoning about tradeoffs, performance vs. correctness, abstraction vs. control, and owning systems end-to-end while shipping at startup pace.
You Might Thrive in This Role If You:
- Have 5–7+ years building and operating production systems at scale
- Have designed distributed systems where latency, reliability, and correctness mattered
- Think clearly about architecture, tradeoffs, and failure modes
- Are comfortable working close to the metal when needed, and abstracting when it helps
- Enjoy end-to-end ownership and pragmatic tradeoffs in a startup environment
- Operate with high agency, a bias toward getting 1% better every day, and strong ownership
- Care deeply about correctness, rigor, and repeatability
Compensation
The base pay range for this role is $80,000 – $140,000 per year.
