13 Sifted Research Analyst Jobs Hiring Near You

At Solve Intelligence, we’re building the AI-powered infrastructure for the global Intellectual Property landscape. We need a rare hybrid - a Legal and Product Engineer who sits at the exact intersection of patent law and AI innovation to ensure our engine is technically superior and legally airtight.

🏗️ The Role: Legal and Product Engineer

This isn't your typical client-facing role or traditional R&D position. You are the bridge between the complex nuances of patent practice and the cutting-edge AI technology transforming it. You will translate the "language of law" into the "logic of code."

What you’ll own:

• AI Output Engineering: Partner with our AI researchers to iterate on algorithms and prompt engineering, specializing our LLMs for patent-specific tasks like claim analysis, prior art comparison, and obviousness assessments.

• Legal Benchmarking: Build proprietary datasets and evaluation frameworks to measure AI performance against real-world USPTO and international patent office requirements.

• Product Roadmap: Serve as the internal voice of the practitioner. You’ll translate deep client insights from global firms into high-priority product features.

• Strategic Partnership: Act as a technical thought partner for IP teams at firms like DLA Piper, leading pilots and ensuring our AI scales seamlessly across their prosecution and litigation workflows.

• Playbook Development: Document and scale best practices for AI adoption across diverse sectors, from biotech to deep-tech software.

💡 About Solve Intelligence

We’re the fastest-growing startup transforming the IP industry.

• Traction: 20-30% MoM revenue growth; selling to 600+ global IP teams (DLA Piper, tech boutiques, and global enterprises).

• Proven Value: Users report 50-90% efficiency gains using our AI platform.

• Backing: Recently featured in Sifted following our $40M Series B announcement, bringing our total funding to $55M from elite investors including Y Combinator, 20VC, Visionaries and others.

👋 Your Team

You’ll work directly with a founding team of AI PhDs and systems experts:

• Sanj (CRO): PhD in AI (Gatsby Unit, UCL), ex-Huawei R&D, former lead at Magic Carpet AI (acquired).

• Chris (CEO): PhD in AI (UCL), published researcher, ex-Dyson and Alan Turing Institute.

• Angus (CTO): MEng Computer Science, ex-Qualcomm and Coremont (Brevan Howard).

🚀 Who You Are

We are a high-performance culture of "hackers" and builders.

• Bilingual: You can speak "Patent" to an attorney and "Prompt" to an engineer without losing anything in translation.

• Speed & Feedback: You want to put tools in users' hands in days, not months, and you thrive on rapid iteration.

• Extreme Ownership: You take responsibility for the accuracy of our AI's legal reasoning and the success of our global client deployments.

• Driven & Humble: You are a high-achiever willing to go the extra mile to tackle unsolved AI problems in the patent space.

🛠️ What You Bring

Must-Haves:

• Qualified Professional: Admitted to practice before the USPTO, EPO or JPO.

• 3+ Years Experience: Direct experience in patent prosecution, understanding the "pain points" of the industry first-hand.

• Technical Foundation: Undergraduate degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or Life Sciences.

Preferred & Nice-to-Haves:

• AI Tinkerer: Hands-on experience with prompt engineering and LLM tools.

• Client-Facing Pro: Proven ability to manage relationships and lead strategic product demos.

• Coder-Lite: Familiarity with Python or a background in software development.

• Visionary: A deep belief that AI will fundamentally redefine the legal landscape.

🎁 What We Offer

• Competitive Salary + Significant Equity: We want you to have true ownership in the success of the company.

• Founding Impact: You will be the architect of how AI is applied to patent law globally.

• Support: Full visa sponsorship and private medical insurance.

• The Environment: Free meals and a seat at the table with an incredibly smart, ambitious team.
