Norm Ai is an 'agentic law company' pioneering 'Legal Engineering,' where lawyers use no-code tools to build and supervise domain-specific AI agents. They serve major financial institutions, with clients managing $30 trillion in assets, and also run an affiliated AI-native law firm. They are rapidly expanding and hiring for various roles in NYC.
What they want, where you stand, and the exact résumé edits to qualify.
Biggest lever: Lack of specific legal/financial domain expertise and direct experience building no-code tools for domain experts in this sector.

You are a senior full-stack AI engineer. Your task is to develop a foundational proof-of-concept for a 'Legal Engineering' platform, allowing legal professionals to define and supervise basic AI agents for document analysis. Use Next.js 16 App Router, React 19, Tailwind v4, and AI SDK v6 with Gemini. The backend will use Node.js and Neon Postgres on Vercel. MVP Scope: 1. User Authentication: Implement simple email/password authentication using NextAuth.js. 2. Document Upload: Create a secure interface for users to upload legal PDF documents. 3. Basic Agent Configuration: Allow users to define a simple 'agent' by providing a natural language prompt (e.g., 'Summarize key contractual obligations for the seller'). Store this prompt in the database associated with the user. 4. Agent Execution: When a user selects an uploaded document and an agent configuration, use the AI SDK to process the document (e.g., extract text via a PDF parser, then feed to Gemini with the defined prompt). 5. Output Display: Display the AI-generated output (e.g., summary, extracted clauses) in a clean, readable format. 6. Basic Audit Trail: Log agent executions, including input prompt, document processed, and output generated, to the Neon Postgres database. Focus on robust error handling, basic security best practices (e.g., secure file storage, input sanitization), and a clean, intuitive user interface. Prioritize functionality over comprehensive legal features for this MVP. The goal is to demonstrate the core concept of user-defined AI agents processing legal documents. Build/Verify Gate: A user can log in, upload a PDF, create a simple agent prompt, run the agent on the document, and see the AI-generated output.

NYC | ONSITE (hybrid) Norm Ai, the agentic law company, has a client base with a combined $30 trillion in assets under management. Norm Ai pioneered Legal Engineering, the process that empowers lawyers to build and supervise domain-specific AI agents with Norm’s proprietary suite of no-code software tools. Norm Ai technology is deployed inside many of the largest and most consequential institutions in the world. Norm Ai is also the technology behind Norm Law, LLP, a separate but affiliated AI-native law firm built for the era of agentic AI. Norm Law’s attorneys advise leading institutions across private funds, private equity, venture capital, real estate, registered funds, and financial regulation, using the same legal intelligence platform that powers Norm Ai’s products. The company is growing quickly and hiring in NYC across all teams, see list here: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/norm-ai?utm_source=7ow8wN5o3g
Research the 'legal engineering' space and common workflows for lawyers. Build a small, public-facing 'no-code' tool prototype (e.g., using a React form builder or similar approach) that allows users to configure a simple AI agent for a specific, common legal or financial task (e.g., summarizing specific clauses from documents, extracting entities) using LLM APIs. This would demonstrate direct relevance to Norm Ai's mission. (Time: 2-3 weeks focused effort).
