August
Forward Deployed Engineer
Why it's interesting
A $170–300K band is striking for a $7M seed-stage shop — August (NEA-backed legal AI for midsize + AmLaw-150 firms) is paying near-frontier money to put an FDE onsite with law firms, betting that white-glove deployment, not model quality, wins legal AI. All-onsite NYC, no remote hedge.
The role
Embed onsite with law firms to configure and deploy August's legal-AI workspace into real firm workflows. Customer-facing build role at a fast-growing NYC legal-tech startup (team drawn from Blackstone, Amazon, DoorDash, Columbia; attorneys from White & Case and Wachtell). Full-time, onsite NYC.
