We're on a mission to make real estate transactions smarter, faster, and friction-free. Real estate is the world's largest asset class, yet the legal processes and tools behind it remain slow, manual, and underinvested. Lawyers must review dense documents line by line and piece together information across silos, all while clients demand faster, more transparent due diligence. That's where we come in. Orbital Copilot is the AI assistant built exclusively for commercial real estate law. Developed with former practicing real estate lawyers, it accelerates complex due diligence by up to 70% while delivering legal-grade precision. We've just raised a $60m Series B to accelerate our UK/US expansion. We're trusted by leading firms like Goodwin and BCLP to remove the busywork so legal teams can focus on what they do best: applying sharp legal judgment, delivering standout client service, and getting deals over the line faster. Working at Orbital means joining a team that's reimagining how real estate transactions get done - moving fast, working collaboratively, and giving people the ownership to make a real impact from day one. Role Overview Are you excited about leading the development of cutting-edge AI technologies that will transform how Real Estate transactions are conducted? As a Technical Lead focused on Orbital Copilot, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our AI-driven assistant, designed to revolutionise the property due diligence process. Your work will drive the innovation behind a product that simplifies and accelerates real estate transactions, making complex processes seamless. You'll guide a talented team of engineers from concept to deployment, ensuring our AI platform remains at the forefront of the industry while delivering real-world impact for our users. What to be excited by: Lead with Impact: Support a talented team of AI engineers and software engineers, mentoring them to create groundbreaking, scalable AI-driven SaaS products that are changing the way Real Estate is transacted. Shape the Future: Architect and design AI systems from the ground up, ensuring that they are cutting edge, robust, and scalable to meet real-world challenges. Own the Process: Drive the entire development lifecycle-concept to production-taking ownership of projects and the opportunity to see your ideas come to life. Collaborate for Innovation: Work closely with diverse teams-product, AI Engineering, Product Design and Legal Engineering-to bring creative solutions to market that perfectly align with business goals. Champion Excellence: Lead efforts to continuously enhance code quality, reliability, and development processes, driving innovation through automation, testing, and best practices. Guide the Vision: Play a key role in managing the technical roadmap, where you'll balance immediate deliverables with strategic growth and cutting edge technology. Stay at the Forefront: Work with the latest frontier models including GPT 5 and Claude 3.5 across text and vision, incorporating them into our platform and constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Drive Real Impact: Ensure the scalability of our domain specific AI product, Orbital Copilot, contributing to solutions that not only meet but exceed industry standards.
