### About the Company
Adalat AI is building an end-to-end justice tech stack that automates manual and clerical pain points in courtrooms, giving judges back time to focus on what matters most: decision-making and delivering justice. Our solutions - from AI-powered transcription in Indian languages to case-flow management and document navigation - are now deployed across 9 states, covering nearly 20% of India’s judiciary. Backed by leading technology companies and funders, and incubated at MIT and Oxford, Adalat AI is working to eliminate judicial delays and expand access to timely justice. Founded by a team with backgrounds in law, technology, and economics from Harvard, Oxford, MIT, and IIIT Hyderabad, we are scaling rapidly across India and the Global South.
### Role Overview
We're hiring a Senior Fullstack Developer to lead and deliver end-to-end features at Adalat AI. You'll work across the stack on building frontends with modular state management, backend services, and database design — while setting the technical direction for how we build. You'll mentor engineers, drive architectural decisions, and raise the bar for quality and speed across a small team of elite builders shipping impactful features fast.
### Key Responsibilities
* Lead the design and delivery of complex, production-grade features spanning Next.js, TypeScript, TailwindCSS, Go, and Postgres.
* Own architectural decisions — from database schema design to React component APIs — with a focus on long-term maintainability.
* Mentor junior and mid-level engineers through code reviews, pairing sessions, and design discussions.
* Collaborate closely with design, legal, and product teams to translate ambiguous requirements into polished, reliable features.
* Set and uphold engineering standards: unit tests, linters, end-to-end tests, performance benchmarks, and accessibility.
* Proactively identify technical debt, prototype improvements, and champion initiatives that make the platform faster and more resilient.
### Qualifications
* 10+ years of experience working on production JavaScript/TypeScript codebases.
* Demonstrated track record of leading and shipping complex features end-to-end, including driving alignment across teams.
* Deep expertise in React and modern frontend architecture; experience building and evolving design systems.
* Strong proficiency with Go backend services and Postgres, including schema design, query optimisation, and migrations.
* Experience mentoring engineers and raising team-wide engineering quality.
* Sharp instinct for reducing user pain and improving speed and accessibility in high-stakes, real-world environments.
**Bonus**
* Familiarity with GraphQL or other API design patterns at scale.
* Prior experience working in a legal domain.
### What You Will Achieve in a Year
* Led and shipped multiple high-impact platform features with measurable improvements to courtroom workflows.
* Established architectural patterns and engineering norms that the wider team builds on.
* Meaningfully levelled up the engineers around you through mentorship and technical leadership.
* Contributed to improving access to justice at scale — for real users, in real courtrooms.
