About us

At Lightbringer, we believe that protecting world-changing innovations should be clear, accessible, and fast. We are a fast-growing company reshaping a €90 billion global industry by building the patent service of the future. Our platform leverages agentic and generative AI to automate complex legal tech workflows—from invention disclosure and ideation to priority drafting and international filing—while keeping expert patent attorneys in the loop for quality assurance.

Backed by top-tier European VCs (including 6DC, NEWION, Luminar Ventures and Alliance VC), our team is scaling fast. We’ve recently moved into a creative, historic space in Varvsstaden, Malmö, and we are looking for a product focused software engineer to help build the next generation of our AI-native platform.

The role

We are looking for a software engineer with a product mindset. Not someone who just translates tickets into code.

As a software engineer at Lightbringer, you will bridge the gap between complex backend AI engineering and beautiful, highly intuitive user experiences. You’ll take full ownership of your features, partnering closely with patent experts and your engineering colleagues to solve real-world challenges.

What you’ll do

• End-to-End Feature Ownership: Scope, build, test, and deploy features that make complex intellectual property management look simple.
• AI Integration: Work with state-of-the-art AI agents and LLMs to seamlessly integrate autonomous text-generation, data analysis, and automation into our core workspace.
• User-Centric Development: Build robust, highly responsive web applications that allow tech founders and lawyers to collaborate seamlessly.
• Maintain High Standards: Help optimize our platform for security (SOC 2 standard), performance, and scaling as we expand internationally into markets like the US.

Who you are

• A Product-Minded Developer: You don’t just care about how to build, but why you are building it. You naturally think about the end-user experience.
• Startup DNA: You thrive in fast-paced, high-autonomy environments. You are comfortable with ambiguity and eager to iterate quickly.
• Strong Full-Stack Skills: You have professional experience building modern SaaS applications.
• AI Curious: Experience or a deep interest in prompt engineering, LLMs, or agentic workflows is a massive plus.
• Location: Based in or willing to commute to our creative hub in Malmö.

What we offer

• The opportunity to be an early, influential member of a well-funded, fast-growing startup.
• A highly collaborative, energetic team culture where good ideas win, regardless of hierarchy.
• You'll be a part of a team of software engineers, design and patent experts, working together to build the IP platform of the future
• A stunning office environment in Varvsstaden, surrounded by history, innovation, and great neighbours.
• Competitive salary and equity opportunities
