Senior Fullstack Engineer
We’re on a mission to make real estate transactions smarter, faster, and friction-free. The world’s largest asset class, real estate, still struggles with slow, manual, and outdated legal processes. Lawyers must review dense documents line by line and navigate siloed information—all while clients demand faster, more transparent due diligence.
At Orbital, we’ve built Orbital Copilot, the world’s first AI assistant for commercial real estate law. Developed with former practicing real estate lawyers, this tool accelerates complex due diligence by up to 70% while ensuring legal-grade precision. With a recent $60m Series B funding and rapid growth, we’re scaling our UK and US operations to redefine real estate transactions globally.
We work with leading firms like Goodwin and BCLP, helping legal teams remove busywork so they can focus on delivering outstanding client service and closing deals efficiently. Orbital is built for people who want to move fast, collaborate confidently, and take ownership from the start.
Role Overview
Orbital Copilot is our flagship AI-driven product, delivering much-needed automation in real estate transactions—both domestically and internationally. Designed to transform property transactions, the product originated from our existing tool, which helps real estate professionals extract key information and generate reports from legal documents.
We’ve recently integrated cutting-edge Large Language Models (LLMs) such as GPT-5 and o3, and we’re actively refining their application in production. This is a unique opportunity for a frontend-heavy, senior fullstack engineer who thrives at the intersection of technology and AI-driven product development.
As part of our small, dynamic team, you’ll own the end-to-end design and development of key features—from discovery and design through implementation to deployment, maintenance, and continuous improvement. You’ll work across frontend, AI integration, and backend services, all while collaborating with a cross-functional team of AI product managers, legal domain experts, and engineers.
