Full Stack Technical Co-founder - Equity Based

We’re Hiring: Technical Co-Founder / Founding Engineer at LegalErrand
Equity: 30% | Remote | Equity-Based Opportunity
LegalErrand is building an AI-native legal technology ecosystem designed to transform how lawyers work, how law students learn, and how people access legal services.
We are starting in Nigeria, with a vision to expand globally. We are building fast and looking for a serious technical partner who can help us turn this vision into reality.
The Opportunity
We are offering 30% equity in LegalErrand to the right candidate to join us as a Technical Co-Founder / Founding Engineer.
This is not a conventional software engineering job. We are looking for someone who wants to build a company, take ownership of its technical direction, and grow alongside the founding team.
As our Technical Co-Founder, you will lead product development, make key technical decisions, and help build the technology that powers LegalErrand.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the design, development, and deployment of LegalErrand's software products.
Build scalable web applications, backend systems, APIs, and databases.
Develop and integrate AI capabilities, including LLMs, RAG, AI agents, and intelligent automation.
Translate product requirements into functional, production-ready software.
Own technical architecture, infrastructure, security, and engineering standards.
Work closely with the founder to prioritize features and deliver products quickly.
Lead future engineering hires as the company grows.
Who We’re Looking For
Strong full-stack software engineering skills.
Practical experience building and deploying real-world software products.
Experience with AI engineering and integrating AI into applications.
Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently.
An entrepreneurial mindset, a sense of ownership, and a commitment to execution.
The ability to commit meaningful time to building the company.
A computer science degree is not mandatory. We care about what you can build, your technical ability, and your commitment.
Equity and Compensation
The successful candidate will receive 30% equity in LegalErrand, subject to mutually agreed and formally documented terms.
This is an equity-based founding opportunity at our current stage. Salary payments will commence once LegalErrand generates sufficient revenue, secures grants, or raises external funding to support salaries.
Importantly, the introduction of a salary will be separate from the equity arrangement. Receiving a salary will not reduce, replace, or otherwise affect the agreed 30% equity stake. The equity terms will be documented formally.
We want a founding partner who understands the early-stage startup journey and is ready to build towards a sustainable business.
We’re Looking for Serious Builders
We are moving fast and need someone who can match our pace.
We are not looking for time wasters, casual collaborators, or people who are merely exploring startup opportunities. We want a committed technical partner who is ready to take ownership, build consistently, and work towards a shared vision.
If you are serious about building an ambitious LegalTech company and have the technical ability to make it happen, we want to hear from you.
How to Apply
Send your CV and portfolio via LinkedIn direct message.
Only candidates who demonstrate relevant technical skills and a genuine ability to build will be considered.
Let's build the future of legal technology together.
