Senior AI Engineer, Platform Integration

Job Duties

Job Description:

Shape the Future of AI in Capital Markets and Legal Disclosure

At Toppan Merrill, we're building Quinn, a cloud-based platform that helps law firms, investment banks, and public companies draft, review, and file SEC documents, including IPO registration statements, prospectuses, proxy statements, and annual and quarterly reports.

We're applying AI to one of the most consequential document workflows in the world, where precision, trust, and accountability matter most. You'll join a small, highly visible team, work directly with senior engineering leadership, and engage with some of the world's largest law firms.

In this role, you'll be the founding engineer for how outside AI tools such as Harvey and ChatGPT Enterprise securely connect to Quinn. That means production-ready OAuth 2.1 with token exchange, deny-by-default authorization, and a complete audit trail, built on the emerging Model Context Protocol standard and held to the security bar of the most demanding enterprise clients there are.

The first thing Quinn will pilot with clients is this integration. A working prototype already exists; turning it into a service a law firm's security team will approve is the core of this role. You'll build it and own it after launch.

What you will do

Productionize the integration service (an MCP server) that outside AI tools connect to, over the Streamable HTTP transport

Implement sign-in with OAuth 2.1 using our identity provider (Okta), including token exchange so the service calls Quinn on behalf of the attorney and never passes an outside tool's token through

Enforce what each outside tool may do: which actions its permissions allow, and which documents are on each client firm's approved list, denying everything else by default

Keep an immutable, exportable audit trail of every action an outside tool takes, including reads, that client firms can review

Design controls for AI-specific risks, including tool misuse driven by content in documents and abnormal bulk access to documents

Test with at least two external AI tools, and support client firms' security reviews

Build an internal command-line tool for our operations teams on the same service

How you'll work

You'll own the integration service end to end and partner closely with our Identity and Security teams on the authorization design and client security reviews. You'll also work with a backend engineer building the matching controls inside the Quinn platform, and with the IT and innovation teams at our design partner law firms.

First 90 days

Stand up the service with production sign-in in a test environment

Implement the approved-document list and the audit log

Connect a first external AI tool end to end

Required

6+ years of backend or platform engineering

Deep, hands-on OAuth 2.0 or 2.1 and OIDC experience: authorization servers, scopes, audience, PKCE, token exchange

Experience building services that external customers or partners integrate with, including security reviews

Security-first engineering habits: deny by default, least privilege, audit logging

Strong in TypeScript (Node.js) or Python, and comfortable working in the other; our services use both

Experience integrating with customers' identity providers (OIDC or SAML federation, multi-tenant SSO)

Preferred

Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, or AI tool and agent integrations

Okta administration or custom authorization servers

Experience integrating with enterprise legal software (document management systems, Harvey, or similar)

Success at 12 months

Pilot running with design partner firms, having passed Toppan Merrill's security review and each firm's own

Service passed an external penetration test with no open critical or high findings

At least two different AI platforms connected
