About Eudia

Eudia is revolutionizing legal work through AI-powered Augmented Intelligence, empowering Fortune 500 legal teams to accelerate decision-making, mitigate risk, and drive strategic growth. With $105M in Series A funding led by General Catalyst, we’re crafting a category-defining platform that fuses AI-driven automation with human expertise, transforming legal departments into engines of innovation.

We move fast at Eudia. Unlike traditional enterprise software companies, our teams ship solutions in days, not months—delivering real impact for some of the world’s largest companies, including Cargill, Coherent, DHL, and Duracell. We’re solving one of the most complex, unsolved challenges in AI: bringing trust, accuracy, and security to legal automation.

We’re a team of builders, operators, and problem-solvers who are passionate about reshaping an industry that has long been resistant to change. If you’re looking for a place where you’ll be challenged, take ownership from day one, and work alongside some of the brightest minds in AI and legal—we’d love to meet you.

Opportunity for Impact

This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of legal expertise, AI, and product innovation. As a Forward Deployed Lawyer, you will partner directly with Fortune 500 customers to transform their institutional knowledge into scalable, technology-driven solutions, while helping shape the future of our product.

About the Role

In this role, you will collaborate closely with customers, product, engineering, and go-to-market teams to deploy and scale AI-powered legal solutions. You will act as a bridge between legal practitioners and technical teams, translating real-world legal workflows into impactful product capabilities.

This role is ideal for a highly adaptable, entrepreneurial lawyer who is excited to leverage AI to scale their impact and help transform the legal industry.

Key Responsibilities

  • Technology Deployment: Apply a deep understanding of how legal work actually gets done to build and deploy solutions that encode customer institutional knowledge and translate legal expertise into product.
  • Product Collaboration: Partner closely with product and engineering teams to test new features, identify opportunities for product improvement, and contribute ideas for new product capabilities.
  • Customer Voice: Serve as the voice of the customer by understanding their workflows and needs, validating use cases, and translating customer feedback into actionable product insights.
  • GTM Enablement: Support GTM teams on customer calls and demos, educate them on legal workflows and product capabilities, and equip them to effectively position and demonstrate the product.

What We're Looking For

  • JD or equivalent legal qualification.
  • 4+ years of practicing law and the ability to manage matters independently.
  • Strong user of AI tools, with a mindset of leveraging technology to scale impact.
  • Entrepreneurial, highly adaptable, and comfortable operating in ambiguity.
  • A relentless owner mindset. You proactively identify what needs to happen, align the right people, drive outcomes, and close the loop, even if the problem starts outside your lane.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to bridge legal and technical audiences.
  • Excitement about the legal tech and the opportunity to transform how legal work is done.

Why You'll Love Working Here

  • Impactful Work: Be part of a team at the forefront of legal AI innovation.
  • Fortune 500 Exposure: Work alongside F500 legal teams to redefine the future of in-house legal practice.
  • Growth Opportunities: Work in an environment that encourages professional growth and exploration of new ideas.
  • Dynamic Culture: Join a group of passionate, driven individuals committed to making a difference.

Compensation Range: $190K - $220K
