Quant LegalTech - Vice President - Engineering

As Quant moves into our 2nd year of operations, with a robust set of legal products under our belt, a growing market base, and significant investment to grow our model aggressively, we want to raise the ambition level on how we use technology to win in this competitive market.

For us, as a product division first-and-foremost, this means maintaining the distinctiveness of our core product: from the best technologies to the most impressive and intuitive products for lawyers - from collaboration automation to regulatory mapping to contract management to countless other possibilities.

As a result, we want to hire an outstanding individual to join our top leadership team as VP of Engineering. We want you to help us achieve our aspirations for the next wave of growth and continue on our journey to be India's #1 legal-tech company!

Currently, we have an in-house technology team of 10 FTEs, but we are imminently expecting that number to double as we undertake an expansion of the product and bring all functions in-house. We need someone with extensive experience leading talented teams of engineers to manage our expansion - and to put their own stamp on the culture at Quant.
