Responsibilities

  • ● At Solve Intelligence, we're building the AI-powered infrastructure for the global Intellectual Property landscape. We need a rare hybrid - a Legal and Product Engineer who sits at the exact intersection of patent law and AI innovation to ensure our engine is technically superior and legally airtight.
  • ● Japan is quickly becoming one of our most exciting markets. We're seeing strong inbound interest and real traction with Japanese IP teams, and we're looking for a Japanese-speaking practitioner to lead those conversations from the front.
  • ● The Role: Legal and Product Engineer (Japanese Speaking)
  • ● This isn't your typical client-facing role or traditional R&D position. You are the bridge between the complex nuances of patent practice and the cutting-edge AI technology transforming it. You will translate the "language of law" into the "logic of code." And for our Japanese clients, you'll translate it into Japanese too.
  • ● What you'll own:
  • ● AI Output Engineering: Partner with our AI team to iterate on algorithms and prompt engineering, specializing our LLMs for patent-specific tasks like claim analysis, prior art comparison, and obviousness assessments.
  • ● Legal Benchmarking: Build proprietary datasets and evaluation frameworks to measure AI performance against real-world USPTO and international patent office requirements.
  • ● Product Roadmap: Serve as the internal voice of the practitioner. You'll translate deep client insights from global firms into high-priority product features.
  • ● Strategic Partnership: Act as a technical thought partner for IP teams at firms like DLA Piper, leading pilots and ensuring our AI scales seamlessly across their prosecution and litigation workflows.
  • ● Playbook Development: Document and scale best practices for AI adoption across diverse sectors, from biotech to deep-tech software.
  • ● Japan Market Lead: Be the technical voice of Solve for Japanese law firms and corporate IP departments. You'll run in-depth product demos and technical discussions in Japanese, support our team at conferences and client meetings in Japan, and lead pilots with Japanese clients.
  • ● JPO Readiness: Make sure our AI handles Japanese-language patent documents and JPO practice as well as it handles the USPTO and EPO, and build the benchmarks that prove it.
  • ● About Solve Intelligence
  • ● Traction: 20-30% MoM revenue growth; selling to 600+ global IP teams (DLA Piper, tech boutiques, and global enterprises).
  • ● Proven Value: Users report 50-90% efficiency gains using our AI platform.
  • ● Backing: Recently featured in Sifted https://sifted.eu/articles/solve-intelligence-visionaries-20vc following our 40M Series B announcement, bringing our total funding to 55M from elite investors including Y Combinator, 20VC, Visionaries and others.
  • ● Global Momentum: Growing demand from Japan, with a live pipeline of Japanese IP teams ready for deeper technical conversations.
  • ● You'll work directly with a founding team of AI PhDs and systems experts:
