Remote Patent Analyst Jobs in Georgetown, TX (NOW HIRING)

Lumenci is seeking a Technical Product Lead to own the full lifecycle of its AI-powered patent intelligence platform, iLumos.ai. This is a rare opportunity for a patent domain expert with deep AI fluency to sit at the intersection of patent law, enterprise AI, and product strategy at a fast-scaling IP technology company.
About Lumenci  
Founded in 2018, Lumenci is a premier intellectual property consulting firm specialising in patent litigation, expert witness testimony, and patent monetisation for leading corporations and global law firms across the software, telecommunications, semiconductor, and emerging technology sectors.
A key part of our model is the integration of deep technical expertise with litigation strategy. Our teams support high-stakes disputes by developing technical narratives, performing rigorous analysis — including reverse engineering and source-code review — and partnering with world-class expert witnesses whose testimony shapes case outcomes in courts and arbitration forums worldwide. Alongside our services business, our iLumOS platform delivers expert-guided AI for patent intelligence, moving clients from portfolio analysis to action in minutes rather than months.
Today we work with more than 200 clients across the US, Europe, Asia, and Latin America. We have analysed over 100,000 patents, tested more than 1,000 products, and supported clients in raising over $200M in IP financing, with more than $3.5B tied to verdicts, settlements, and cost savings. That work is delivered by 150 consultants and more than 100 technical experts with exceptional academic backgrounds.
Lumenci is recognised in the IAM 300 and is Vault Top Ranked. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, we deliver end-to-end support spanning technical analysis, expert strategy, valuation, and monetisation execution. We are backed by VSS Capital Partners and Century Equity Partners, and we are growing quickly — our US team expanded 42% over the past year.

Key ResponsibilitiesProduct Strategy & Roadmap

• Own the product roadmap for iLumos.ai

• Prioritize features based on client ROI, competitive gaps, and engineering feasibility

• Define quarterly OKRs and report delivery progress to leadership using AI-generated metrics

• Identify underserved segments — boutique firms, solo practitioners, mid-market in-house teams priced out of premium platforms

• Drive API-first and integration strategy

LLM Workflow Design

• Write system prompts, tool definitions, and structured output specs for every LLM workflow

• Design agentic, multi-step workflow architecture for patent analysis pipelines

• Define evaluation rubrics for LLM-as-judge pipelines; LLM Ops wires them into CI/CD

• Iterate on prompts using Braintrust eval data, attorney feedback, and hallucination reports — prompt changes ship like code

• Maintain a versioned prompt library with eval scores and rollback capability

Patent Domain Authority & Quality Gate

• Serve as the final go/no-go quality gate on all AI-generated outputs before they reach clients

• Validate output accuracy against professional standards expected by Am Law firms and Fortune 500 IP teams

• Curate the gold evaluation dataset — attorney-reviewed ground truth used to benchmark every workflow

• Liaise directly with law firm and corporate IP clients to convert feedback into prompt and pipeline improvements

• Flag and escalate legal accuracy risks; one hallucinated citation in active litigation can cost a client millions

Delivery Cadence & Team Coordination

• Run async-first, output-oriented continuous delivery — measured by what ships

• Replace standups with AI-generated daily digests from commits and deployment events

• Coordinate across Full-Stack and Platform/Security engineering on dependencies without adding process overhead

• Own the enterprise client relationship: demo new capabilities, manage expectations, translate feedback into engineering constraints

• Manage budget, vendor relationships (Anthropic, AWS, data providers), and toolchain discipline

---

Patent Domain Requirements

• Claim structure and construction (independent/dependent claims, means-plus-function, PHOSITA standards)

• Claim charting and "reads on" infringement/invalidity mapping

• Prior art analysis under §102/§103, including motivation-to-combine arguments

• Office action review and prosecution history/estoppel strategy

• Invalidity contentions and §112 written description/enablement issues

• Patent portfolio strategy (citation analysis, continuations, FTO)

• USPTO Patent Center, EPO OPS, WIPO PCT, and prior art tools (Derwent, Orbit)

---

AI & LLM Requirements

• LLM architecture fundamentals: context windows, temperature, sampling, and their impact on legal output quality

• Prompt engineering: chain-of-thought, few-shot examples, structured JSON schemas, hallucination-prevention constraints

• Tool use / function calling for patent database queries, prior art retrieval, and citation lookup

• Multi-step agent design (LangGraph or equivalent) for stateful patent analysis pipelines

• LLM evaluation: golden datasets, LLM-as-judge patterns, legal accuracy metrics, Braintrust or equivalent

• Hallucination mitigation in legal contexts: citation fabrication, claim scope inflation, jurisdictional drift

• Cost/latency tradeoffs: prompt caching, token economics, batching at enterprise scale

Daily tools: Anthropic Claude API, LangSmith, LangGraph (or equivalent), GitHub, JIRA

---

Required Qualifications

Experience: 3–10 years combined across patent domain work and B2B SaaS product management, with a preference for 5+ years in B2B SaaS product management, including at least 2 years at a company competing in a domain with significant legal or regulatory accuracy requirements.

Patent Domain Credentials (at least one required)

• USPTO registered patent agent (registration number required), or

• JD with substantial patent prosecution or litigation experience

• 3+ years hands-on experience with claim charts, invalidity contentions, FTO analyses, or office action responses

• Familiarity with at least one patent analytics platform (Patlytics, Derwent Innovation, Orbit Intelligence, PatSnap, or Google Patents Advanced)

• Technical undergraduate degree preferred (engineering, chemistry, CS, or biology)

• Direct experience working with patent attorneys, Am Law firms, or in-house IP teams

Product & AI Leadership

• Track record shipping AI-powered features to enterprise legal or IP clients

• Comfort operating without a Scrum Master or dedicated QA team — async-first, high-ownership delivery

• Ability to write LLM workflow specs precise enough for engineers to implement without clarification sessions

• Strong client-facing skills: able to demo a half-built product and field hard technical/legal questions

• Ability to make technical tradeoff calls with engineering (latency vs. accuracy, caching vs. freshness, context window vs. cost)

• Sharp prioritization instincts in resource-constrained, high-leverage environments

---

Who You Are

• A rare combination of patent domain expert and AI practitioner

• Comfortable owning outcomes with minimal process, at any career stage from early-career to seasoned senior

• Someone who has worked with attorneys or IP teams and understands the real stakes of inaccurate legal AI output

• A builder with taste — you write specs engineers can implement and hold the bar on what ships to clients

• Collaborative and decisive; low-ego but confident enough to disagree with an attorney on claim scope and be right

---

What You Will Help Build

• The product and prompt architecture behind iLumos.ai's core LLM workflows

• The gold evaluation dataset and LLM-as-judge framework that sets the professional accuracy bar for legal AI

• A scalable, async-first delivery model that lets a lean team outperform larger, slower incumbents

• Direct relationships with Am Law firms and Fortune 500 IP teams that shape the roadmap

• The category definition for AI-native patent intelligence — built on accuracy, trust, and real domain depth
