Silberfluss is radically transforming the way law firms operate through an innovative AI agent. Our AI Associate streamlines labor-intensive tasks such as analyzing documents, identifying relevant court decisions, and drafting legal materials, enabling lawyers to save up to 50% of their work time.

Our product has received overwhelming demand from law firms of all sizes, driving the need to expand our team. This is your chance to join a startup that combines the entrepreneurial expertise of our founders—who previously bootstrapped a successful legal tech startup—with a highly skilled technical team.

As a working student, you’ll work directly with our CTO, gaining hands-on experience and contributing to the development of the most capable and integrated AI copilot for German law. Join us in shaping the future of legal work!

Tasks

You will support our product development in direct cooperation with our development team and CTO to get our product off the ground and to our customers. Depending on your previous experience and motivation, you can support us in the following areas (you can support where you want to and don't have to contribute everywhere, although an interest in all of these areas wouldn't hurt):

Maintaining and developing a RAG infrastructure with various data pools and structures (knowledge graphs, public legal data, hierarchic data)
Optimizing and fine-tuning LLMs (Anthropic Claude, GPT-4o, Noxtua) and their prompts
Building tool extensions for the models (generating (docx) documents, interfacing with existing DMS software, search tools)
Data Scraping and Preparation for Semantic Search, Finetuning and Training
Building stable proof-of-concept UIs and MVPs in Angular and React (including a MS365 Add-In)
If you want to, bring innovative and creative ideas on how to improve the product for our customers - be it design, functionality or new features!

Requirements

We are looking for a (mostly) Full-Stack developer with a broad interest in prototyping software.

You need to have:

Very good knowledge of (typed) Python and good knowledge of Typescript
Understanding of LLMs & Tooling (optimal is if you've used the Anthropic or OpenAI APIs before)
Used React or Angular before (even if frontend is not your strong suit, we are looking for people willing to build simple UIs to showcase their developments if necessary)
Rapid prototyping & iterative development: Strong capability for quick prototyping and iterative updates based on user feedback, emphasizing lean development cycles
Time Commitment of 15-20 hours/week

Nice to have:

Knowledge of SQL, specifically Postgres
Prior experience with Docker, Kubernetes, AWS and/or MS 365 Add-In Architecture

Benefits

When you join our team, we’ll work together on one of the most impacted applications of AI — the legal sector — where your contributions can make a real difference. As part of our start-up, you'll enjoy creative freedom to design and shape the system, whether you want to be a data engineer, frontend developer, prompt engineer, or cloud architect - there’s enough to do on all fronts. Join our motivated team and work with and on cutting-edge technology in a fast, user-focused development process. We’re really looking forward to hear your ideas and you'll help build something truly innovative from the ground up.

Impact: High potential for co-design in a young start-up and direct collaboration with our founders and customers, including some of the largest construction law firms in Germany
High level of responsibility & steep learning curve: Opportunity to help shape our product directly in close cooperation with our team from Hasso-Plattner Institute, LMU, CDTM and Heidelberg University. With our client portal we already built a 6 digit bootstrapped company.
Full flexibility: Work remotely, hybrid or in our offices at MTZ in Munich
Flexible working hours: You decide when you work
Culture: We celebrate our successes and value our collaboration, so there are regular team events as a refreshing change from the daily work routine
