At Alecto, we're on a mission to fix one of the UK's most broken consumer experiences: conveyancing - the legal process behind every property transaction. Today it’s slow, opaque, and failing. One in three property transactions fall through, complaints run 3.3x higher than any other legal sector. Many firms still rely on post and fax. We're building the UK's first AI-native law firm to change that.
We're looking for a Staff or Senior Product Engineers to join as an early member of our engineering team. We're a small team of generalists with deep experience in startups and who care about craft. We move fast, ship often, and hold ourselves to a high bar. From day one, you’ll help shape the product’s direction and ship features to production within your first week.
