About Soxton

We streamline everything from incorporation to equity, fundraising, and compliance with automated workflows plus human-in-the-loop support. Our mission is to become the default law firm for the next generation of entrepreneurs—faster, smarter, and more affordable than Big Law.

Role Overview

We are looking for a hands on Head of Engineering to lead the technical side of our organization. You will be responsible for scaling our engineering team, defining our technical roadmap, implementing feedback loops and ensuring that our technology stack supports our business goals. You'll also help build the culture of Soxton.

  4. Establish engineering best practices, processes, and quality standards

  5. Help build on the product roadmap and strategic priorities

  6. Manage technical debt, system reliability, and security

  7. Hire and develop exceptional engineering talent

  8. Ensure we ship high-quality features weekly

You Should Have

  1. 0-1 experience. You've built products or teams from the ground up, ideally as a founder, CTO, or founding engineer

  2. Proven track record leading an engineering org through a scaling phase (e.g., 3 → 30+ engineers, Series Seed → B growth, or similar inflection points)

  3. 6+ years of software engineering experience, with 2+ years in engineering leadership

  4. Experience building AI/ML-powered products

  5. Ability to be hands-on while also thinking strategically

  6. Strong technical judgment and experience with modern cloud infrastructure

  7. Excellent communication skills and ability to operate in ambiguity

Nice to Have

  1. Background in NLP, document processing, or legal tech

  2. Computer science degree from a reputable technical university
