About the role:

NLPatent is an industry leading AI-first patent research platform that was an early mover in the application of Large Language Models. We use a combination of proprietary and off-the-shelf machine learning models and NLP techniques to help our users answer patent related research questions such as "Is my invention patentable?". Increasingly, we're using generative LLMs to build agentic workflows that answer research questions without any human intervention.

As a software engineer at NLPatent, and one of the early hires for the engineering team, you'd be key in building the core features and foundations to scale out the platform. You'd work closely alongside NLPatent's CTO and senior engineers in planning and executing product development.
