Being a Staff AI Software Engineer at iManage Means… 

You are passionate about owning the full lifecycle of AI systems, from training and fine-tuning models to deploying and scaling them in production. You thrive at the intersection of machine learning, data science, and infrastructure engineering, and you bring both analytical accuracy and hands-on technical depth to everything you build. You will work within the Applied AI team, collaborating with engineers, data scientists, and product stakeholders to build the AI capabilities that power iManage’s enterprise work platform including Ask iManage, our generative AI document assistant, as well as advanced document classification, extraction, and NLP-driven features that directly impact how knowledge workers search, organize, and understand their most critical information. You will tackle some of the most interesting problems in applying large language models and NLP at scale to enterprise documents and workflows. 

You are a self-starter who identifies problems before being asked, coordinates across teams, and drives solutions to completion. You think carefully about cost, performance, and reliability at scale as well as communicate with clarity and accountability at every step.
