Employee Platform Engineer Edinburgh Wordsmith Wordsmith is building the legal operations platform for in-house teams, and we're growing fast. We believe in-house legal is becoming one of the most important functions in the AI era. Every business is moving faster, but legal work is still too often scattered across inboxes, chats, documents and disconnected systems. Wordsmith brings that work into one system. Requests come in from across the business, AI agents handle the routine, lawyers stay in control where judgment matters, and every step is captured as work happens. We're built for in-house legal, not law firms. Our goal is to help legal teams move faster, reduce unnecessary external counsel spend, and become a function the business can run with. com , Canva, Starling and Sage, use Wordsmith. Backed by $100M from Index Ventures, General Catalyst, Highland Europe and others, we're building one of the defining companies in legal AI. Why this role is different We treat internal IT as a product and our employees as its users, not as tickets. If your answer to a repeated problem is to do it faster by hand, this isn't the seat — and it isn't a back-room coding role either. You'll be the engineer who builds the platform that provisions, supports and secures every Wordsmith employee, end to end. The goal is for the function to get more automated as we grow, not need more people. The Role You'll own onboarding, access, devices and offboarding as one connected system, and build the tooling — including coding agent workflows — that removes the manual steps at every stage. You'll be hands-on with the physical side of the job too, in the Edinburgh office. What you'll do Build a joiner pipeline that reads a new hire from Humaans, creates their identity in Okta, assigns app access by group rule, and triggers zero-touch laptop enrolment in Jamf — no manual steps Build a Slack assistant, backed by a coding agent, that handles requests like “I need access to X” or “my laptop is slow” and either fixes them or routes them, resolving most without a human Build a hardware vending machine for the Edinburgh office that dispenses chargers, dongles, headsets and loan laptops against an employee's identity, with stock reordered automatically Write scripts and infrastructure as code that configure devices, enforce security baselines, and produce compliance evidence on their own Build an offboarding flow that revokes access everywhere, wipes and reclaims the device, and files the record the moment someone is marked as a leaver What good looks like in the first year Zero-touch onboarding: within six months, a new hire's accounts, apps and access provision automatically from Humaans through Okta, and their laptop self-enrols — day one setup takes minutes, not hours Self-service by default: within nine months, the top twenty employee IT requests — access, kit, resets, software — are self-served through automation, chat or a vending machine, not a ticket to a person Automated joiner/mover/leaver: within twelve months, role changes and offboarding run automatically from the HRIS, with access removed same-day and hardware recovered Build over buy: you ship internal tooling and coding agent workflows that remove manual steps, so the function scales on automation, not headcount Secure and audit-ready: the fleet stays managed and SOC 2 evidence generates itself, rather than being assembled by hand before an audit Who you might be We're not hiring a traditional IT person — we're hiring someone who builds.
