About the Role

Block LLP is seeking a hands-on AI Developer to design, build, and maintain AI-powered applications, automations, and integrations that improve how our firm operates.

This role will focus on turning real business and legal workflows into functional technology solutions. The AI Developer will work closely with firm leadership, our AI Implementation team, and departments across the organization to develop internal AI tools that improve efficiency, reduce repetitive work, and help our teams work more effectively.

Unlike a traditional software development role, this position sits at the intersection of software engineering, artificial intelligence, automation, and legal operations. The ideal candidate is comfortable writing code, working with large language models and APIs, experimenting with new technologies, and taking an idea from prototype through deployment.

Block LLP is a rapidly growing plaintiff personal injury law firm dedicated to delivering exceptional results and exemplary service to our clients. We are passionate about helping injured individuals and families navigate some of life's most challenging moments with compassion, advocacy, and expertise.

Our culture is built around five core values: Vibrant Culture, Teamwork, Relentless Pursuit of Excellence, Dependability, and Exemplary Service. These values guide how we support our clients, collaborate with one another, and approach our work every day.
