Legal Engineer

As a Legal Engineer, focusing on tax law, you will be working in our Legal & Regulatory division where we help legal and compliance professionals enhance productivity, mitigate risk, and solve complex problems confidently.

There are hundreds of thousands of lawyers across Europe - and at Libra, we're transforming how they work. Our AI platform combines deep legal reasoning with cutting-edge generative technology, fundamentally changing how lawyers research, draft, and deliver legal work.

About the role

As a Legal Engineer, you'll work at the intersection of law, technology, and product innovation. Your mission is to translate complex legal knowledge into AI-powered workflows that deliver measurable impact for our customers.

You'll collaborate closely with our Product, Engineering, and Customer Success teams to build, test, and optimize Libra Assistants and automations that reflect real-world legal reasoning.

This person will work closely with legal and tax professionals, product managers and technical teams, contributing to the ongoing development of the Libra AI platform and related services across two distinct client segments: law firms with a tax practice and the tax departments of corporates, as well as the services requested by chartered accountants (commercialisti). The ability to adapt quickly and find concrete answers even in ambiguous situations is the most valued skill for this role.

Unlike traditional legal roles, Legal Engineers at Libra are forward-deployed: you'll work directly with clients-law firms and corporate legal departments-to design solutions that transform how legal teams operate. This role is ideal for tax lawyers who are passionate about technology, problem-solving, and building scalable, impactful solutions.

You’ll report to the leader of Legal Engineering and work alongside a growing team of passionate professionals. Together, you’ll foster a culture of performance, agility, and customer-centricity-laying the foundation for sustainable growth across the region.
