Who we are

The Josef team is exceptional, fiercely creative and driven to make a difference in the world. Because of this, our culture is open and we expect everyone to be a leader.

We are a group of friends from a range of different backgrounds. We value and celebrate diversity, and we’re committed to creating an inclusive, flexible and happy environment for all employees.

What we do

The majority of people who face a legal problem do not get help from a lawyer. And, for those who do, many find the experience expensive, uncertain and confusing.

Josef’s mission is at once simple and ambitious: to transform the way legal services are delivered, making them more accessible.

To do that, we’ve created a no-code automation platform that empowers lawyers to easily launch legal bots to automate parts of their day-to-day work.

Our customers include some of the biggest law firms in the world, small suburban firms, in-house lawyers at multinational corporations, and legal aid and community organisations.

What to expect

  • Competitive base salary, with the right incentives
  • Meaningful, purpose-driven work
  • A supportive and inclusive environment
  • Flexible and remote work environment and options
  • Top-end hardware to ensure you perform at your best
  • Investment in your career growth and development  
  • Regular reviews with the CEO to ensure we’re both kicking goals and meeting mutual expectations
  • Company events, like team offsites, Lunch & Learns and social outings
  • The ability to help us determine the future direction of the company
