You'll design and ship the agents, tools, and operating model that will redefine how our Legal team works, working in close partnership with Alexia, our General Counsel at Qonto. ➡️ What you'll do Co-create the "Augmented Legal" vision for 2028/2030: You'll work side-by-side with Alexia to map Legal's workflows, identify what's agentizable, and define the target state; who does what, how, and at what scale. Build and ship production-ready AI agents: From prototyping to deployment and maintenance, you'll own the full lifecycle of agents that genuinely transform Legal's day-to-day, not just demos, but reliable tools people actually use. Design the humans + agents operating model: You'll set the governance framework; who owns which agents, quality standards, access rules, adoption rituals, and prepare the team to scale. Drive adoption across the Legal team: You'll run demos, design training, and build feedback loops so every Qontoer understands, trusts, and uses what you build. Use AI natively in how you work: From scoping to code, you'll use tools like Claude, Cursor, and whatever's next to build faster and smarter. ➡️ What we're looking for Strong software engineering fundamentals: You've shipped production software end-to-end and take ownership from problem framing to delivery. Practical AI/LLM engineering mindset: You've built agents or AI-powered systems before; you understand orchestration, evaluation, reliability, and the difference between a promising prototype and something that holds up. Product thinking: You don't wait to be handed a spec, you define the problem, shape the roadmap, and iterate based on real user feedback. High autonomy and entrepreneurial mindset: You're comfortable with ambiguity, own your decisions end-to-end, and don't need tight guardrails to do great work. Stakeholder management in cross-functional environments: You can earn the trust of legal professionals, engineers, and leadership alike — and communicate clearly across all of them. ➡️ What you'll get A co-founder-style mandate, inside a scaled company: You'll be a strategic partner shaping the direction from day one, with the resources and brand of Qonto behind you. Real ownership, real impact: The agents you build will touch every contract, every compliance check, every legal workflow at a FinTech operating across 8 European markets. A bridge to Qonto's broader Tech ecosystem: You'll have the opportunity to collaborate with AI Lab, Data, and Platform teams. Unlimited access to frontier AI tools: Claude, Cursor, and whatever ships next at Qonto. ➡️ Your future man
