DevOps Engineer

Apilex is an AI-native legal operating system that manages lawyers' entire legal workflows end to end, powered by AI systems purpose-built for each jurisdiction's legal framework. We bring legal research, drafting of pleadings and contracts, document analysis, and case preparation together in a single experience. We currently operate in France, Turkey, and Germany, and we aim to extend the growth we've achieved in our current markets to Brazil, Spain, and Italy.

We achieved this growth entirely bootstrapped, without raising any external investment, making us one of the fastest go-to-market success stories among Legal AI startups in the world. Since our founding, we've scaled our team to 120 people, backed by a proprietary database of millions of court decisions and legal documents that turns days of legal research into seconds.

What sets us apart? We don't use off-the-shelf AI. We build domain-specific, closed-circuit AI models with multi-layered verification systems that eliminate hallucinations and deliver answers backed by real citations and legal reasoning. Every feature we ship changes how lawyers work.
