Every business is moving faster, but legal work is still too often scattered across inboxes, chats, documents and disconnected systems. the company brings that work into one system. Requests come in from across the business, AI agents handle the routine, lawyers stay in control where judgement matters, and every step is captured as work happens. We are built for in-house legal, not law firms. Our goal is to help legal teams move faster, reduce unnecessary external counsel spend and become a function the business can run with. More than 500 companies, including Financial Times, Safelite, Trip.com, Canva, Starling and Sage, use the company. Backed by over $100M from Index Ventures, General Catalyst, Highland Europe and others, we are building one of the defining companies in legal AI. • Design workflows and automation tailored to each organisation, • Configure the platform to support real legal use cases, • Scope implementations for complex enterprise customers — use cases, sequencing, and where value will land first, • Translate legal processes into structured workflows and AI-enabled automation, • Advise on best practices for implementing legal technology, • Build and adapt playbooks with the customer, bringing in Legal Intelligence where clause language or negotiation positions need a lawyer’s judgement, • Build agents, skills, automations and workflows, from standard templates to complex multi-step processes, • Take on complex reports and playbooks, leaving standard ones, such as a basic NDA blueprint, to the wider customer team, • Act as the escalation point for technical issues and complex training questions from Support and Enablement, • Run deeper health checks where a setup needs technical or process review, • Help customers expand into additional workflows and use cases, • Create the template flows Enablement uses to demo and train on standard product workflows, • Provide on-site embedded support where a customer needs hands‑on technical help, • Help shape how the product evolves based on real usage, • Strong understanding of how in-house legal teams work, • Ability to manage customer projects and guide stakeholders through change, • Comfortable working across legal and technical domains, • Technical enough to build integrations, agents and automations yourself, and to judge when a problem needs Engineering, • A fixer’s instinct — comfortable diagnosing a live setup and reworking it when a customer’s needs change, • Structured thinker — you can turn messy processes into clear systems, • Strong communication skills and confidence working directly with customers, • Prior Legal Engineering experience, • Implementation or solutions consultants in SaaS (CLM / Legal Tech is a plus), • Legal Operations Professionals We’re an in‑person team based in Edinburgh or London.

The roleDeployment Engineers own the technical side of getting the company live inside a customer. Once a deal is signed, you’ll connect the company to the systems our customers already run on. That means identity and SSO, Microsoft 365 and SharePoint, Google Workspace, Salesforce, document management, chat tools, and MCP connections to the wider AI and data stack. You’ll design how data and permissions flow between them, build and test the integrations, and work through each customer’s IT and security requirements until everything works in production. It’s part integration engineering, part solutions architecture, and part customer-facing problem solving. You’ll be the technical lead on every deployment you own, the person customer IT teams talk to, and the person who works out how to make it work when an integration doesn’t behave as documented. This is a technical, hands-on role. You don’t need to be a lawyer, and we’re not necessarily looking for one. We’re looking for engineers and technical consultants who understand identity, APIs and enterprise SaaS, and who enjoy making systems talk to each other. Your focus is the technical foundation the rest of the deployment runs on. You’ll work side by side with our Legal Engineers on every deployment. While you connect the company to the customer’s systems, they configure the platform itself: workflows, agents, playbooks and automations built around how the legal team works. You’ll plan the deployment together, agree what each integration needs to support, and make sure the connections you build give their configuration the data, documents and permissions it depends on.

Identity, Security & Access Set up identity and access, including SSO with Okta, Entra ID and Google, user provisioning, roles and permissions • Work through customers’ security reviews, IT questionnaires and data-handling requirements, • Make sure permissions in the company respect the permissions in the systems it connects to 1. Technical Solution Design Take the technical handover from Sales and confirm the customer’s systems landscape, constraints and integration scope • Design how data, documents and requests flow between the company and the customer’s tools, • Advise customer IT on the right architecture for their environment and where the trade-offs sit, • Work with Legal Engineers to agree what each integration needs to support the workflows, agents and playbooks they’re configuring 1. Technical Delivery & Escalation Lead the technical workstream of each deployment, from environment setup and integration build through testing to go-live • Diagnose and fix integration issues, and act as the escalation point for technical problems during rollout, • Know when a problem needs Engineering, and bring them a clear, reproducible case 1. Improve How We Integrate Turn what you learn into reusable integration patterns, setup guides and technical runbooks • Feed connector gaps, API limitations and recurring requests back to Product and Engineering What we’re looking for Hands-on experience deploying and integrating enterprise SaaS in customer environments • Strong working knowledge of identity and access, including SSO (SAML, OIDC), SCIM provisioning, Okta, Entra ID or Google Workspace, • Experience integrating with the Microsoft 365 and SharePoint, Google Workspace or Salesforce ecosystems, • Comfortable with APIs, webhooks, authentication flows and reading technical documentation. You can script or write code where it helps, • Familiarity with MCP or other ways of connecting AI systems to tools and data, or a strong appetite to learn, • Credible with customer IT and security teams. You can answer their questions and stand behind your architecture, • Methodical troubleshooter who isolates problems, reproduces them and fixes them, • Clear communicator who can explain a technical decision to a non-technical stakeholder Typical backgrounds include • Deployment, integration or implementation engineers in SaaS, • Solutions engineers or solutions architects, • Technical consultants with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace or Salesforce experience, • IT or identity engineers who have moved into customer-facing roles How we workWe’re an in-person team based in Edinburgh or London.

More than 500 companies, including Financial Times, Safelite, Trip.com, Canva, Starling and Sage, use the company. Backed by $100M from Index Ventures, General Catalyst, Highland Europe and others, we're building one of the defining companies in legal AI. We treat internal IT as a product and our employees as its users, not as tickets. If your answer to a repeated problem is to do it faster by hand, this isn't the seat - and it isn't a back-room coding role either. You'll be the engineer who builds the platform that provisions, supports and secures every the company employee, end to end. The goal is for the function to get more automated as we grow, not need more people. You'll own onboarding, access, devices and offboarding as one connected system, and build the tooling — including coding agent workflows — that removes the manual steps at every stage. You'll be hands-on with the physical side of the job too, in the Edinburgh office. • Build a joiner pipeline that reads a new hire from Humaans, creates their identity in Okta, assigns app access by group rule, and triggers zero-touch laptop enrolment in Jamf - no manual steps, • Build a Slack assistant, backed by a coding agent, that handles requests like "I need access to X" or "my laptop is slow" and either fixes them or routes them, resolving most without a human, • Build a hardware vending machine for the Edinburgh office that dispenses chargers, dongles, headsets and loan laptops against an employee's identity, with stock reordered automatically, • Write scripts and infrastructure as code that configure devices, enforce security baselines, and produce compliance evidence on their own, • Build an offboarding flow that revokes access everywhere, wipes and reclaims the device, and files the record the moment someone is marked as a leaver, • Zero-touch onboarding: within six months, a new hire's accounts, apps and access provision automatically from Humaans through Okta, and their laptop self-enrols - day one setup takes minutes, not hours, • Self-service by default: within nine months, the top twenty employee IT requests - access, kit, resets, software - are self-served through automation, chat or a vending machine, not a ticket to a person, • Automated joiner/mover/leaver: within twelve months, role changes and offboarding run automatically from the HRIS, with access removed same-day and hardware recovered, • Build over buy: you ship internal tooling and coding agent workflows that remove manual steps, so the function scales on automation, not headcount, • Secure and audit-ready: the fleet stays managed and SOC 2 evidence generates itself, rather than being assembled by hand before an audit We're not hiring a traditional IT person — we're hiring someone who builds. That might mean you're: • a software engineer who likes owning systems end to end and wants a broad, high-ownership remit, • a DevOps, SRE or platform engineer who automates infrastructure and wants to point that at people and devices, • a strong IT or systems person who already codes and automates rather than clicking through consoles, • someone from a smaller company or an MSP who has wired up tools, identity and devices and scripted the boring parts away What matters is the instinct to automate anything you have to do twice, and to build the tool rather than do the task. We'll teach the IT domain to a strong builder — we won't teach someone to be a builder. • You write real code and automate with APIs and scripts — Python, Bash or TypeScript. This isn't optional., • You think in systems: identity, access, data flows and lifecycle, • You're comfortable using AI coding agents to build and ship tooling fast, • You care about security and doing things properly, not just quickly, • You're happy working on-site in Edinburgh and hands-on with real hardware, • Exposure to identity and device tooling such as Okta, Google Workspace or Jamf, • Experience with SOC 2 or security compliance, • Having run or automated onboarding, endpoints or internal tools before This role is on-site in Edinburgh, reporting into Security - you'll be hands-on with the actual fleet, not just its dashboards. It's a high-trust environment: you own the systems you build, end to end, with light process and a bias toward shipping. This isn't a back-room coding role. You own real employee outcomes and the physical office setup alongside the software. • Real ownership over the platform that runs every the company employee, from identity to hardware, • Freedom to build over buy - you ship the tooling, not just work the tickets, • We'll teach you the IT and security domain - you bring the instinct to automate We're growing quickly, and every new hire adds more identity, access and devices to manage. Getting that right — automated, secure and audit-ready — is core to how fast and how safely we can scale as a company. If you want to build the system that runs an entire company's IT, rather than staff it, this is a strong place to do it. #J-18808-Ljbffr

Edinburgh London Wordsmith is building the legal operations platform for in-house teams, and we are growing fast.

We are built for in-house legal, not law firms. Our goal is to help legal teams move faster, reduce unnecessary external counsel spend, and become a function the business can run with.

Backed by over $100M from Index Ventures, General Catalyst, Highland Europe and others, we are building one of the defining companies in legal AI. Deployment Engineers own the technical side of getting Wordsmith live inside a customer. Once a deal is signed, you’ll connect Wordsmith to the systems our customers already run on. That means identity and SSO, Microsoft 365 and SharePoint, Google Workspace, Salesforce, document management, chat tools, and MCP connections to the wider AI and data stack. You’ll design how data and permissions flow between them, build and test the integrations, and work through each customer’s IT and security requirements until everything works in production. It’s part integration engineering, part solutions architecture, and part customer-facing problem solving. You’ll be the technical lead on every deployment you own, the person customer IT teams talk to, and the person who works out how to make it work when an integration doesn’t behave as documented. This is a technical, hands-on role. You don’t need to be a lawyer, and we’re not necessarily looking for one. We’re looking for engineers and technical consultants who understand identity, APIs and enterprise SaaS, and who enjoy making systems talk to each other. Your focus is the technical foundation the rest of the deployment runs on. You’ll work side by side with our Legal Engineers on every deployment. While you connect Wordsmith to the customer’s systems, they configure the platform itself: workflows, agents, playbooks and automations built around how the legal team works. You’ll plan the deployment together, agree what each integration needs to support, and make sure the connections you build give their configuration the data, documents and permissions it depends on. Own the integrations for each deployment, including SSO and SCIM, Microsoft 365, SharePoint and OneDrive, Google Workspace, Salesforce, document management and chat tools Configure and connect Wordsmith to customers’ wider AI and data stack through MCP Build, test and harden integrations so they hold up in production, not just in a demo Set up identity and access, including SSO with Okta, Entra ID and Google, user provisioning, roles and permissions Work through customers’ security reviews, IT questionnaires and data-handling requirements Make sure permissions in Wordsmith respect the permissions in the systems it connects to Take the technical handover from Sales and confirm the customer’s systems landscape, constraints and integration scope Design how data, documents and requests flow between Wordsmith and the customer’s tools Advise customer IT on the right architecture for their environment and where the trade-offs sit Work with Legal Engineers to agree what each integration needs to support the workflows, agents and playbooks they’re configuring Lead the technical workstream of each deployment, from environment setup and integration build through testing to go-live Diagnose and fix integration issues, and act as the escalation point for technical problems during rollout Know when a problem needs Engineering, and bring them a clear, reproducible case Turn what you learn into reusable integration patterns, setup guides and technical runbooks Feed connector gaps, API limitations and recurring requests back to Product and Engineering Hands-on experience deploying and integrating enterprise SaaS in customer environments Strong working knowledge of identity and access, including SSO (SAML, OIDC), SCIM provisioning, Okta, Entra ID or Google Workspace Experience integrating with the Microsoft 365 and SharePoint, Google Workspace or Salesforce ecosystems Comfortable with APIs, webhooks, authentication flows and reading technical documentation. You can script or write code where it helps Familiarity with MCP or other ways of connecting AI systems to tools and data, or a strong appetite to learn Credible with customer IT and security teams. You can answer their questions and stand behind your architecture Methodical troubleshooter who isolates problems, reproduces them and fixes them Clear communicator who can explain a technical decision to a non-technical stakeholder Typical backgrounds include Deployment, integration or implementation engineers in SaaS Solutions engineers or solutions architects Technical consultants with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace or Salesforce experience IT or identity engineers who have moved into customer-facing roles We’re an in-person team based in Edinburgh or London. You should expect to work from the office or visit customers as your default. We set a high bar, move quickly and give people meaningful ownership. There will not always be an established playbook, so you’ll need to bring curiosity, structure and persistence to unfamiliar situations. You’ll sit in the Transformation team, reporting to the VP of Transformation, and work closely with our Legal Engineers, alongside Legal Intelligence, Enablement, Customer Success, Support Engineering and Product. Our customer teams have clear but closely connected responsibilities: Transformation leads implementation, Support Engineering resolves technical issues, Account Management owns renewals and commercial growth, Customer Success owns adoption, customer health and value realisation, and Enablement owns onboarding, training and customer capability. Wordsmith is growing quickly, winning new customers and expanding within larger organisations. Wordsmith is only as useful as the systems it connects to. Every new customer brings a different stack, and Deployment Engineers are the people who make Wordsmith work inside it. You’ll work directly with ambitious in-house legal teams, see how dozens of legal functions really operate, and take that back into a product you help shape. You will work across enterprise identity, productivity and CRM platforms, and on MCP as it develops into a standard. You will own real technical outcomes from your first week and help define how we integrate as we scale. #J-18808-Ljbffr

Why this role is different We treat internal IT as a product and our employees as its users, not as tickets. If your answer to a repeated problem is to do it faster by hand, this isn't the seat — and it isn't a back-room coding role either. You'll be the engineer who builds the platform that provisions, supports and secures every Wordsmith employee, end to end.
