2026 · Lucio, right now
legal tech's first AI hire. got in by solving their CTF and texting the product lead. now building their next product from the ground up.
solved the challenge on their careers page, texted the lead, got the call.
Lucio (legal tech) had a capture-the-flag challenge on their careers page: an API scavenger hunt where each response gives you the clue to the next one, until the last one hands over the reward. i solved it, texted the HR and product lead, and that was that. first AI-specific hire at the company.
on the team building a new product from zero: core frameworks, languages, architecture.
the first month was mostly AI. now i'm moving into backend and core development. the company is pivoting into a new product, and i'm on the team building it from the ground up, in on the core calls: frameworks, languages, architecture. curious what this one looks like in a year.
