Careers
Build the legal function that watches.
Kepta is a technology company that delivers legal work to businesses: software does the legal work, licensed lawyers verify it, and the price is published up front. We are hiring our Chief Product Officer.
What you would be joining.
A technology company that delivers legal services to businesses. Warsaw and Stockholm, Poland first, CEE next.
Software in front
The Register is a living record of everything a company has signed. It monitors deadlines, finds gaps, corrects agreements and chases overdue invoices.
Lawyers behind
Licensed lawyers verify every deliverable and step in when a deal, a dispute or a funding round needs human judgment.
Prices on the website
Every price is published up front.
You would join a team of serial entrepreneurs and work directly with the founder, Lech Kaniuk.
Our customers are companies that need legal work done. Not law firms. The buyer is a founder, a CFO, a COO, or whoever ended up owning contracts.
Open roles.
One role open now.
Chief Product Officer
Own what Kepta builds and why, from roadmap to first value. Reports to the founder and works hand in hand with engineering.

Open role
Chief Product Officer.
Kepta is a technology company that delivers legal work to businesses. The platform does the work, licensed lawyers behind it verify every deliverable, and the price is published up front instead of billed by the hour. Our customers are companies that need legal work done, not law firms, and the buyer is whoever ended up owning contracts because nobody else would. Poland first, with desks in Warsaw and Stockholm, CEE next.
The product is a Register: a living record of everything a company has signed. It watches deadlines, finds gaps, corrects agreements, chases overdue invoices, and takes new legal work in and returns it in hours. Platform v1 is being built now. The product direction, the mockups and the doctrine behind them exist. What does not exist yet is the person who owns all of it. That is this job.
You own what Kepta builds and why. You are the single point of accountability for product strategy, the roadmap, and the quality of the customer's experience from first login to renewed contract. Software sits in front and lawyers sit behind it, so every feature has two users: the customer, and the lawyer who verifies the output. A good product decision here improves both. You will hold that tension every week.
What you would do
Own the roadmap and say no to most of it.
There is a large, well-argued backlog: the Register, Library, Data Room, legal-work ordering, the Legal Health Scan, the counterparty flywheel. You decide what ships first, what waits, and what never ships. You defend those calls to the founder, the team, and investors.
Get the first customers to value in minutes.
Our UX doctrine is zero cognitive load and minutes to first value. You turn that from a document into a measured reality: onboarding, the first Register, the first delivered piece of legal work. Every product screen passes the UX gate before it ships.
Design the human-in-the-loop as a product.
Lawyer verification is not a back-office step. It is part of what the customer buys. You define how work flows between platform and lawyer, what gets reviewed, how override rates are measured, and how quality is made visible to customers.
Lead product together with engineering.
You set the what and the why. Engineering owns the how. Together you decide scope, sequence and the trade-offs between speed and correctness. You bring structure to discovery, specs, release and feedback loops.
Turn customer evidence into product.
Design partners, early customers and the sales motion feed you. You run discovery interviews yourself, read the contracts the platform processes, and build instrumentation so decisions rest on what customers do, not what we assume.
Build for more than one jurisdiction from the start.
Poland comes first. Sweden and the wider CEE follow. Every Poland-specific dependency sits behind a declared interface so a new country ships as a pack, not a rewrite.
Stay inside the rules.
Polish law restricts how legal services may be promoted and delivered, and RODO governs the data. Kepta is precise about what it is: a technology company delivering legal services, with licensed lawyers behind the work. You design the product so those constraints are met by construction, and you work with our counsel to keep it that way.
Who we are looking for
- You have owned the product of a software company from an early stage, ideally as head of product, CPO or founding product lead. You can walk us through what you shipped, what you killed, and what you got wrong.
- You have shipped B2B software where the output carries real consequences: legal, financial, compliance, or another regulated domain. Trust in the output is the product.
- You have worked with AI in production, not only in demos. You understand evaluation, failure modes, human review, and how to design a product around a model that is sometimes wrong.
- You write clear specs and clear decisions. You can cut a scope in half without losing the point.
- You are a strong partner to engineering. You earn engineers' respect by being specific.
- You talk to customers directly and enjoy it.
- You are comfortable at a stage where the team is small, the roadmap is ambitious, and the honest answer to many questions is "we haven't tested that yet."
- Fluent English is required. Polish is a strong advantage, since our first market and customers are Polish. Swedish is a plus.
Not required: a law degree. Kepta is not a bar-regulated law firm, and you do not need to be a lawyer to build this. You do need to respect how lawyers work.
How we will measure you
First 90 days
A single, agreed product roadmap that the founder, the engineering team and the first customers recognise as right. The first design-partner customers live on platform v1 and reaching first value in minutes, with the measurement to prove it.
Six months
A shipped v1 that customers use without hand-holding. A published, measured view of lawyer-override rates by workflow. A discovery loop that runs every week without you having to start it.
Twelve months
A product organisation that ships on a steady cadence, retention and expansion signals we trust, and a second jurisdiction pack designed and scoped.
Hiring process
Thirty minutes with the founder.
Product exercise, paid, roughly four hours. Take one real Kepta workflow, for example onboarding a customer's first ten contracts into the Register with lawyer verification, and show how you would scope, sequence and measure it.
Two hours with the team.
Conversation about role, equity and start date.
