Help us understand real legal workflows — Walk the team through how legal requests arrive, how matters are organized, how documents are reviewed, how questions are escalated, and how decisions and rationale are preserved.Answer nuanced legal and product questions — Provide practical guidance to product managers and engineers on commercial agreements, matter workflows, risk assessment, negotiation strategy, and legal operations.Review product concepts and workflows — Evaluate whether proposed AI experiences reflect how lawyers actually work and identify missing steps, edge cases, or unrealistic assumptions.Explain legal judgment — Help us understand not only what a clause says, but why a lawyer might accept it, reject it, propose a redline, seek additional context, or escalate it for approval.Review AI-generated outputs — Assess summaries, issue identification, clause classifications, redline recommendations, obligation extraction, precedent retrieval, and other AI outputs for correctness, usefulness, and appropriate legal reasoning.Develop evaluation rubrics and benchmarks — Help define what a high-quality output looks like and create representative examples that can be used to train, test, and improve our AI systems.Generate high-quality ground-truth data — Review agreements and related materials, label legally relevant information, document the supporting evidence, and provide concise written reasoning for your conclusions.Help us model institutional legal knowledge — Advise on how playbooks, prior positions, counterparty history, precedent, approvals, and negotiation rationale should inform future legal recommendations.Provide direct, specific feedback — Tell us where the product is incorrect, incomplete, too confident, or unlikely to earn the trust of an experienced lawyer.Occasionally support customer discovery — Join selected working sessions or customer conversations when domain expertise would help clarify requirements or validate a proposed workflow.About Brain Co. — Brain Co. builds AI-native operating systems for large, regulated institutions.
