Artificial Intelligence Engineer (Legal-AI) — Hybrid, Irvine CA

About Archv

Archv is an early-stage, AI-powered SaaS platform that streamlines legal ops for modern firms—think intake, document workflows, client requests, usage metering with integrated billing, and audit-ready compliance. We’re a small team shipping fast from Irvine, CA. From client to court—faster.

The role

Full-time, hybrid. You’ll design, build, and ship AI features end-to-end: train and tune models, wire up retrieval, harden guardrails, and work with our product/infra folks to get capabilities into CaseChat (client portal) and SightSnap (finance/admin).

What you’ll do

Build NLP/LLM features (classification, extraction, summarization, chat agents, RAG).
Stand up data + evaluation pipelines (offline tests, A/Bs, quality dashboards).
Optimize inference for latency and cost (batching, caching, prompt/tooling tweaks).
Add safety + compliance: PII redaction, policy filters, audit logs.
Collaborate across the stack (Python services + Node/TypeScript APIs + SQL) to ship.

What makes you a fit

Strong Python and ML fundamentals; experience with PyTorch/TensorFlow and Hugging Face.
Hands-on with LLMs (APIs or fine-tuning), embeddings, and vector search/RAG.
Solid software engineering: tests, Git/GitHub, CI/CD, clean code.
Comfortable with cloud basics (AWS preferred: S3, RDS, Lambda/ECS) and Docker.
Product sense—you care about UX, correctness, and measurable outcomes.

Nice to have

LangChain/LlamaIndex; Postgres/MySQL; Redis; basic observability (PostHog/Grafana/CloudWatch).
Security/compliance exposure (audit trails, SOC 2-style controls).
Legal/SaaS background, Stripe integrations, or Twilio.

How we hire

We hire for skill and outcomes, not pedigree. Degree optional—show us repos, demos, or shipped work.

Compensation

Salary range: $100k–$150k (DOE). Hybrid in Irvine with WFH flexibility.
