About jhana
jhana is an early stage, seed-funded homegrown artificial legal intelligence lab, established at Harvard in February 2022 and made in India. jhana builds datasets, agents, and interfaces that help produce legal work faster and with higher fidelity. jhana’s suite of product offerings use AI to streamline workflows across the legal field including litigation, corporate law and in-house counsel, and the judiciary. jhana was recently declared the most outstanding new legal tech in Asia and Oceania by ALITA, the Asia-Pacific Legal Innovation & Technology Association.

About the Role
This role will be part of a senior AI development team, tasked with researching, engineering, and launching cutting-edge AI products. This team will be responsible for: working with the product team to design technologies that serve user needs; innovating and creating novel solutions in the legal-tech space; and iterating on these solutions as the userbase and product evolve. All members of this team will be deeply experienced, product- and user-oriented,



and up to date with the latest research and technologies in the field.

The vertical
Our products work with our proprietary corpora of ~13M structured documents as well as with internal documents of clients. Efficient, comprehensive billion-scale search is fundamental to our product. This broader technical problem further interacts with the complexity of the law. For instance, cites-cited-by graphs and graphs of precedent undergoing appeal or overruling inform the relevance of a result. And precedents can be good citation matches for complex reasons, wherein cases from unrelated areas or questions of the law can constitute significant precedent. We attempt to excel at these challenges by using simple models for preprocessing, by sequencing traditional and cutting-edge techniques, and by carefully reranking and postprocessing results. This helps deliver generative AI that is anchored to information retrieval and cites and quotes all
