Legal Operations Tech and AI Enabler

Job description

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years. ABOUT THE TEAM The Legal Operations team is responsible for optimizing the efficiency and effectiveness of the Legal Department at Anduril and works cross-functionally to streamline workflows, automate routine tasks, implement best practices and support regulatory compliance efforts. With the overarching aim of supporting the Company’s overall strategic goals, the Legal Operations team acts as a bridge between legal, the Company’s business units, and outside counsel. ABOUT THE JOB We are looking for a Legal Operations Engineer to join our rapidly growing team on-site in Costa Mesa, California. This is a hands-on technical execution role where you’ll serve as the operational backbone for the Legal Department’s technology ecosystem for our fast-paced, multi-disciplinary team. You will spend real time in Jira, Airtable, Foundry, our CLM, and the seams between them. Expect to move between a same-day fix for a business partner who can't get a document routed, a data cleanup across a few thousand contract records, and a configuration change that shaves a step out of an approval chain. You will become a member of the team who knows how every one of these systems actually behaves, not just how it is supposed to work, which is the foundation for designing the next generation of them. As you build that fluency and demonstrate technical judgment, the work shifts from maintaining to building: scoping requirements, designing automated workflows, and eventually taking point on new system implementations as this function grows. If you are scrappy, technically curious, allergic to manual work a machine could do, and comfortable being the person who gets pinged when a workflow breaks, this role is for you. WHAT YOU'LL DO Systems Administration & Operational Excellence • Integrate into the Legal Department's intake and support queue in Jira - triaging tickets, setting expectations, resolving requests, and escalating what needs a lawyer's judgment to gain first-hand knowledge of our fundamental workflows • Serve as frontline administrator and first responder for our legal systems, including CLM, e-signature, matter management, document management, e-billing, and AI tooling - access, permissions, templates, configuration, and break/fix • Monitor existing automations and integrations for failures, diagnose root causes, and fix them • Execute recurring operational work: user provisioning and offboarding, template updates, approval routing changes, access reviews, and system hygiene checks • Maintain data integrity and quality across contract and matter management systems - establishing metadata standards, field hygiene, bulk updates, deduplication, and cleanup ahead of reporting cycles • Produce and refresh recurring reporting and dashboards on cycle times, request volume, contract throughput, and outside counsel spend Process Improvements • Make incremental improvements to existing workflows: reduce manual steps, tighten validation, add conditional logic, eliminate the failure modes you keep seeing in the queue • Build automations and integrations to close gaps between systems using no-code/low-code platforms, APIs, and scripting • Track recurring pain points from the ticket queue and surface them to Legal Ops with a proposed fix and a rough sense of effort • Assist with data migrations and configuration changes during larger Legal Ops initiatives • Support AI tooling in the department - prompt and template maintenance, output quality spot-checks, and honest reporting on where the tool isn't working Growing into • Driving tool adoption throu
