Build it. Ship it. Own it.

About Counterpart

Counterpart is an insurtech platform reimagining management and professional liability for the modern workplace. We believe that when businesses lead with clarity and confidence, they become more resilient, more innovative, and better prepared for what's ahead. That's why we built the first Agentic Insurance™ system — where advanced AI and deep insurance expertise come together to proactively assess, mitigate, and manage risk. Backed by A-rated carriers and trusted by brokers nationwide, our platform helps small businesses grow with confidence. Join us in shaping a smarter future, helping businesses Do More With Less Risk®.

The Role

As a Product Engineer at Counterpart, you own problems and drive outcomes. You iron out requirements with stakeholders, partners, and customers. You leverage AI for implementation. You verify the end-to-end result. You iterate until you move the needle.

You run projects with other Product Engineers and AI agents. You know when to delegate to a human, when to delegate to an agent, and when to do it yourself. 

YOU WILL

Own the Problem

• Take accountability for the outcome. 
• Talk directly to your users, stakeholders, and peers to discover the problem. 
• Translate business intents into functional requirements that engineers and agents can build against. Determine where human judgment is non-negotiable and where AI can augment or act autonomously. 
• Own the non-functional technical requirements. Specify the quality bar: performance, scalability, reliability, security, maintainability.

Build with AI

• Write production-quality code across the stack: Python, Django, AWS, React, and PostgreSQL. You are not afraid of any layer.
• Direct agents and review their output with domain depth. Catch what they miss across the functional and non-functional bar: correctness, edge cases, performance, security, testability, readability.
• Evaluate and improve agent output regularly. Track failure modes. Refine the prompts and patterns that lift the quality ceiling over time.
• Run projects that span other Product Engineers and agents. Coordinate work, manage dependencies, and keep things moving without micromanaging.
• Contribute to architectural decisions. Bring options and alternatives, not objections. Know when the elegant solution is the wrong call for a startup moving fast.
• Contribute to and manage the context harness as you build and deliver.

Verify and Iterate

• Surface delivery risks early. Bring solutions, not just problems. Keep your stakeholders informed without turning every risk into a meeting.
• Verify the end-to-end result yourself. Confirm the system does what the requirements say, and that the requirements were right.
• Drive adoption of what you ship. Documentation, enablement, and usage monitoring are part of the job.
• Monitor your services in production. Own the signal. Debug and fix what breaks.
• Participate in support rotations. When users run into issues with what you shipped, you investigate and fix them.
• Iterate until you move the needle. Shipping is not the finish line. Outcome is.

Raise the Bar

• Mentor engineers around you. Give direct, useful feedback. Leave things better than you found them.
• Make deliberate calls on technical debt: when to accumulate it, when to pay it down, when to refactor. Translate trade-offs into language that business leaders can act on.
• Operate to the engineering standards for quality, reliability, and operational excellence.

YOU HAVE

• 10+ years building production web applications across the full stack. The years are the floor, not the bar. What matters is whether you have actually done this: owned a problem end-to-end, written the spec, built the thing, coordinated the work, and shipped it without someone else holding the thread.
• Demonstrated experience gathering requirements directly. You have interviewed users, customers, and partner teams, and turned ambiguous intent into specs that engineers and agents can build against.
• Demonstrated experience owning both functional and non-functional requirements. You have defined what a system must do and held the line on how well it must do it.
• A track record of owning a domain or initiative without close supervision. You have navigated ambiguity, made judgment calls, and been accountable for the outcome.
• Extreme ownership and a bias for action. You do not sit and wait. You chase stakeholders, customers, and answers when you need them.
• Experience coordinating across engineers and AI agents on a shared initiative. You have managed the work without holding a formal management title.
• Strong technical judgment and the depth to catch what AI-generated code gets wrong: not syntax, but correctness, architecture, intent.
• Proficiency with Python and Django. Working knowledge of TypeScript, React, and PostgreSQL.
• Proficiency in developing with AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, OpenAI Codex, similar) and the drive to stay ahead of how AI development practices are evolving.
• Domain curiosity. You learn the business context your work supports, not just the systems. You understand why the problem matters, not just how to solve it.
• The ability to communicate clearly across engineering, product, and business, translating technical complexity without losing meaning.
• Low ego and high Emotional Quotient (EQ). You influence without authority, take feedback well, and leave your ego out of technical decisions.
• Experience working with distributed, remote teams.

HOW THIS ROLE WORKS

Product Engineering exists to collapse the distance between a problem and a working solution. You own a problem or part of a vision. You shape it with stakeholders. You build it with AI. You verify it end-to-end. You iterate until the metric moves.

You work within the Context Architecture, a shared system of documentation, design patterns, and domain knowledge that gives you the technical context to make autonomous decisions at every step.

This is not a role for engineers who need to be told how. It is a role for engineers who can take a problem, fill in the gaps with good judgment, and ship something that works.

COUNTERPART'S VALUES

• Conjoin Expectations - it is the cornerstone of autonomy. Ensure you are aware of what is expected of you and clearly articulate what you expect of others.
• Speak Boldly & Honestly - the only failure is not learning from mistakes. Don't cheat yourself and your colleagues of the feedback needed when expectations aren't being met.
• Be Entrepreneurial - control your own destiny. Embrace action over perfection while navigating any obstacles that stand in the way of your ultimate goal. Leverage AI ruthlessly. We measure success by outcomes, not lines of code written. Use every available AI tool to ship faster and think more strategically.
• Practice Omotenashi ("selfless hospitality") - trust will follow. Consider every interaction with internal and external partners an opportunity to develop trust by going above and beyond what is expected.
• Hold Nothing As Sacred - create routines but modify them routinely. Take the time to reflect on where the business is today, where it needs to go, and what you have to change in order to get there.
• Prioritize Wellness - some things should never be sacrificed. We create an environment that stretches everyone to grow and improve, which is fulfilling, but is only one part of a meaningful life.

Among other strengths, Sterlington is the ultimate law firm for founders, senior executives, and UHNWIs as well as their related businesses. Learn more at: www.sterlingtonlaw.com 

The Opportunity 

Sterlington is looking for a Legal Operations Practice Manager to implement AI workflows and oversee the execution layer of a Senior Partner's Corporate and M&A practice — a high-volume, high-stakes environment serving founders, executives, and private capital clients on some of the most consequential transactions of their careers. This role sits at the center of the practice, ensuring that complex, multi-party matters progress with clarity, continuity, and control — bringing structure to evolving priorities, maintaining visibility across all active workstreams, and ensuring that commitments, internal and external, are delivered without friction. 

You will ensure that the operational dimension of the practice is reliable, anticipatory, and unobtrusive — working in alignment with the broader support infrastructure of the firm, never duplicating it. 

What You'll Do: 

• AI‑Driven Process Innovation: Drive continuous improvement by refining workflows for greater operational efficiency and scalability, while integrating AI tools in a measured, high‑judgment manner to enhance matter tracking, document summarization, and internal coordination.
• Matter Management: Maintain end-to-end visibility and structured tracking across all active matters — overseeing status, timelines, dependencies, and client-facing commitments within a high-volume transactional practice to ensure clarity and control without unnecessary process overhead.
• Stakeholder Management: Coordinate seamlessly across attorneys, co-counsel, clients, and external counterparties to advance complex, multi-party transactions, while serving as the primary liaison for internal and service-provider stakeholders on behalf of the managing partner—driving follow-through, accountability, and timely escalation where needed.
• Decision Support: Prepare concise, decision-ready matter summaries and status updates that allow the senior partner to act quickly and with confidence and then drive execution for those actions.
• Risk Mitigation: Anticipate gaps, misalignments, and potential delays — and resolve them before they surface.
• AI‑Driven Process Innovation: Drive continuous improvement by refining workflows for greater operational efficiency and scalability, while integrating AI tools in a measured, high‑judgment manner to enhance matter tracking, document summarization, and internal coordination.
• Pipeline Management: Support transaction pipeline visibility and business development follow-through in coordination with the senior partner. 

What Success Looks Like 

• Full matter visibility established within 30 days:  status, timelines, and commitments tracked with precision across the entire practice
• The senior partner operates with complete situational awareness, without having to ask for it
• Manual workflows are replaced by AI-enabled processes
• System scalability is enhanced, and plans for further scalability projects are planned out
• Execution becomes more predictable as complexity and volume grow 

What We're Looking For:  

• Hands-on AI fluency: You have built and deployed workflows in a professional context
• Experience in practice management, legal operations, or transactional coordination within a law firm or professional services environment
• Legal background preferred: J.D. or equivalent; US corporate and M&A familiarity is a strong plus
• Native or full professional English fluency required
• Structured, systems-oriented mindset: You introduce clarity without over-engineering 

At Sterlington, we believe that world-class talent has no boundaries. We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive environment where unique perspectives are valued and every individual has the opportunity to thrive. We encourage all qualified candidates to apply.
