@ Reversa AI
Reversa AI — Founding Forward Deployed Engineer (Madrid)
Company: Reversa AI, the 'operating system for regulation' (Madrid). ~100% MoM growth, Fortune 500 customers; translating 200M+ pages of global regulation into a live, executable knowledge graph navigated by regulatory agents. Stack: Python (primary), TypeScript/React/Node, custom agent framework, custom knowledge graph, pgvector/Postgres/Redis, AWS/GCP — Claude Code is non-negotiable. Madrid only, mostly in-office, no London. Soft signals across all Reversa hires: hustle, builder DNA, AI-native, high agency, direct communication, missionary not mercenary. Red flag: asking about WFH/process before product, or not willing to work weekends by default.
Role: Founding Forward Deployed Engineer Location: Madrid. Onsite (reasonable WFH flex case-by-case; no remote, no London) Comp: €40k–€50k base + founding stock options Experience: ~1 year (junior, high-slope) Employment: Full-time (EU work authorisation)
Role summary: The 'rarest role of the year' — one relentless builder who holds the whole loop: sits with the customer (e.g. GCs of multinationals) until they understand the problem better than the customer does, designs the agent flow / data model / integration, then builds it to production. Hybrid commercial + technical, no handoff.
Key skills Must-have: Python, Claude Code, customer-facing communication, shipped an end-to-end product, AI / LLM agents Strong: TypeScript, React, Node, PostgreSQL, pgvector, Redis, AWS, GCP Bonus: Magic Circle law-firm experience, tier-1 consulting (McKinsey/BCG/Bain), legal-tech / regtech exposure
Scoring criteria — Critical (must clear) • CRITICAL Madrid-based or willing to relocate to Madrid; mostly in-office (no remote, no London) • CRITICAL ~1 year of work experience (young) • CRITICAL Hybrid skill — can sit with a customer one day and write code the next; holds both halves with no handoff • CRITICAL Has built and shipped something serious, ideally in front of real customers (ex-founder/operator ideal) • CRITICAL AI / LLM / agents experience visible in current or recent role • CRITICAL Has sat across from senior decision-makers and changed their mind with substance, not slides
Important (strong pluses) • IMPORTANT Target background — Magic Circle (Clifford Chance, A&O, Freshfields, Linklaters, Slaughter and May; Madrid offices count), tier-1 consulting (McKinsey/BCG/Bain), BigTech/AI (Amazon, Palantir, Anthropic, OpenAI, Mistral), or operator/near-founder at YC/EF/a16z startups • IMPORTANT Studies: Engineering, Law + Tech, or Tech + Management • IMPORTANT Real shipped technical depth (can demonstrate on demand) • IMPORTANT Stack exposure (Python/TS/React/Node/Postgres/Redis/pgvector/AWS/GCP)
Nice-to-have • NICE Passed through Big Law or top consulting before pivoting to tech • NICE Some exposure to regulation / legal tech / regtech (teachable)
