About the role
- Anduril Industries is seeking a Legal Operations Tech and AI Enabler to serve as the operational backbone for the Legal Department’s technology ecosystem.
- This is a hands-on technical execution role based on-site in Costa Mesa, California, focusing on system administration, workflow automation, and data integrity.
Responsibilities
- Integrate into the Legal Department's intake and support queue in Jira - triaging tickets, setting expectations, resolving requests, and escalating what needs a lawyer's judgment to gain first-hand knowledge of our fundamental workflows.
- Serve as frontline administrator and first responder for our legal systems, including CLM, e-signature, matter management, document management, e-billing, and AI tooling - access, permissions, templates, configuration, and break/fix.
- Monitor existing automations and integrations for failures, diagnose root causes, and fix them.
- Execute recurring operational work: user provisioning and offboarding, template updates, approval routing changes, access reviews, and system hygiene checks.
- Maintain data integrity and quality across contract and matter management systems - establishing metadata standards, field hygiene, bulk updates, deduplication, and cleanup ahead of reporting cycles.
- Produce and refresh recurring reporting and dashboards on cycle times, request volume, contract throughput, and outside counsel spend.
- Make incremental improvements to existing workflows: reduce manual steps, tighten validation, add conditional logic, eliminate the failure modes you keep seeing in the queue.
- Build automations and integrations to close gaps between systems using no-code/low-code platforms, APIs, and scripting.
- Track recurring pain points from the ticket queue and surface them to Legal Ops with a proposed fix and a rough sense of effort.
- Assist with data migrations and configuration changes during larger Legal Ops initiatives.
Requirements
- 2-4 years of relevant experience in legal operations, legal technology, systems administration, technical support, or a comparable operations/tooling role.
- Hands-on experience administering or supporting at least one business system end user - CLM, matter management, e-billing, document management, e-signature, CRM, or similar.
- Demonstrated technical execution capability: you have built automations in a no-code/low-code platform, written scripts or queries, or worked with APIs - and you can describe something specific you built and the problem it solved.
- Track record working an operational queue with volume and shifting priority, and closing tickets rather than accumulating them.
- Proficiency in productivity & management tools such as Airtable, Slack, DocuSign, Jira, Salesforce, Oracle ERP, and/or Foundry, and experience in learning new platforms quickly.
- Working understanding of contracts and legal workflows - enough to know what a redline, a signature block, an approval threshold, and a retention obligation are, and why they matter.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain a technical constraint to a lawyer and a legal requirement to an engineer.
- Excellent attention to detail and accuracy; you understand that in legal systems a silent data error is worse than a loud outage.
- The ability to build strong relationships within the team and cross-functionally, including IT, Security, Real Estate, Procurement, Finance, and Growth/Business Development stakeholders.
- Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities.
Preferred qualifications
- Passion for national security and changing the landscape of defense contracting
- Experience with startup, defense, and/or in-house at a high-growth company
- Experience at a law firm, ALSP, or legal technology vendor, particularly in an implementation, solutions, or support capacity
- Experience building against REST APIs and webhooks, or working with structured data at scale (SQL or equivalent)
- Experience with Palantir Foundry or a comparable data platform
- Experience with LLM-based tooling in a production workflow
- Bachelor's degree in a technical field, paralegal certificate, or equivalent demonstrated capability - we care more about what you've built than how you got here
- Experience with government contracting, export controls (ITAR/EAR), or a regulated data environment
Benefits
- Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full time offers
- Top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including comprehensive, competitive benefits package available at little to no cost to ensure support in health, recovery, and whatever comes next
