Product Engineer

We’re on a mission to make real estate transactions smarter, faster, and friction-free.

Real estate is the world’s largest asset class , yet the legal processes and tools behind it remain slow, manual, and underinvested. Lawyers must review dense documents line by line and piece together information across silos, all while clients demand faster, more transparent due diligence.

That's where we come in. Orbital Copilot is the AI assistant built exclusively for commercial real estate law. Developed with former practicing real estate lawyers, it accelerates complex due diligence by up to 70% while delivering legal-grade precision.

We’ve just raised a $60m Series B to accelerate our UK/US expansion.

We're trusted by leading firms like Goodwin and BCLP to remove the busywork so legal teams can focus on what they do best: applying sharp legal judgment, delivering standout client service, and getting deals over the line faster.

Working at Orbital means joining a team that's reimagining how real estate transactions get done - moving fast, working collaboratively, and giving people the ownership to make a real impact from day one.

Our vision

We're building the AI that runs real estate transactions end-to-end. Today, property deals depend on overworked lawyers buried in paperwork and reports - a system that's slow, expensive, and stuck in the last century. We're replacing it with autonomous AI that handles the work from instruction to completion, so deals move at the speed of decisions, not documents.

Our mission

Our mission is to help any professional or individual involved in a property transaction to properly understand what they are getting into, from the outset, before incurring legal fees.

Our values

• We are Bold & Ambitious ⚡ (changing an entire industry is hard!)

• We give Power to our People (we give exceptional people autonomy to succeed)

• We Question or Commit ****(we welcome debate, but love reaching quick decisions)

• … and we Eat that Frog! (we take on the hardest thing first)

Role Overview

We're building a small, high-agency product team on the west coast - closest to our customers, and the experts on them. As a Product Engineer, you'll own the end-to-end experience: jumping on calls with customers, spotting problems and opportunities in the product, and shipping improvements independently. This isn't customisation work for individual clients - it's making the core product genuinely delightful for the people who use it every day.

You'll be on the front lines of product development, where the product meets real users in real time, and you'll teach the rest of the company what's different about law firms on the west coast.

You’ll get a chance to: ‍ ‍

• Work directly with customers to understand friction, needs, and opportunities

• Drive product improvements end-to-end - from insight to shipped feature

• Own the user experience across the product, with the freedom to fix what's broken

• Become the in-house expert on west coast legal customers and their nuances

• Collaborate closely with colleagues across the Product Engineering team

What we’re looking for: ✍️

We hire for three things: product judgment , design taste , and the ability to ship and build . You likely bring most of these already.

• Strong, product-leaning engineer (engineering-first, not a designer or PM moving into code)

• Senior enough to drive independently and ship big things without heavy coaching

• Building heavily with AI coding tools - the majority of our code is now AI-produced and powered by a harness, so we expect you to already be shipping fast with tools like Claude Code, Codex, etc

• Outgoing, sociable, and empathetic - comfortable talking to customers

• Genuinely excited about building great product

• Based in Vancouver and eligible to work in Canada - with the team getting together in person from time to time

Why join:

• Define an entire industry - we're a Series B, category-defining AI company rewriting how real estate is transacted, one of the world's oldest and largest markets. Very few jobs anywhere give you the chance to shape a whole industry from the front

• Real ownership of the product experience - do the work you wouldn't normally be allowed to

• Be an early team member of our brand-new “West Coast” product team, and set the bar for everyone who follows

• Sit closest to the customer, where your read on the market steers product direction across the whole company

Benefits:

• Salary depending on level and experience - we're hiring at mid-senior level, with two bands:

  • Mid (L3): CAD $120,000–CAD $146,000

  • Senior (L4): CAD $146,000–CAD $178,000

• Equity options in a fast growing start-up

• Access to A Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) with 5% employer contribution

• Health care coverage through Canada Life

• Flexible working hours and location

• 24 days paid holiday plus local public holidays

• Professional equipment and personal development budget along with training opportunities to learn and develop your skills

Security is everyone’s responsibility at Orbital. We ask all team members to follow our security policies, complete regular awareness training, and handle sensitive data with care in line with ISO 27001 standards. Spot something unusual? Reporting risks or incidents quickly helps us maintain the strong culture of security and compliance we all depend on.

At Orbital, we’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. We especially welcome applications from people who are traditionally underrepresented in tech. Even if you don’t meet every single requirement, or if the right role isn’t listed yet, we’d still love to hear from you.

This hiring range is a reasonable estimate of the base pay range for this position at the time of posting . Pay is based on several factors, which may include job-related knowledge, skills, experience, and business requirements.
