Chief Technology Officer

Almazan Law, a Miami- and Tampa-based multi-practice law firm, seeks a visionary Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to lead our digital transformation and build a proprietary platform that redefines insurance defense in Florida and beyond.

The ideal candidate will not just manage IT, but will also architect the most technologically advanced insurance defense platform in the country. A fronter firm in legal tech and use of AI within a law firm of the future.

Key responsibilities include designing firm-wide AI strategies, integrating complex SaaS ecosystems (Clio, iManage, OraClaim, Ajax, Protégé), and converting operational litigation data into new and improved services that will propel the legal industry forward and deliver better overall client outcomes. The CTO will eliminate traditional billable-hour dependencies by building and/or implementing carrier-facing transparency tools and automated document pipelines. This position will report directly to the CEO, and will work closely with Operations, Marketing, Administrative Support, and 3rd-party consultants.

Almazan Law is not a traditional law firm. We are an established, multi-practice insurance defense firm (Real Estate, Workers’ Comp, Liability, Construction Defect, Litigation) with real revenue and market share, currently redesigning the operating system of the modern defense firm. We are moving away from the legacy "0.1 increment" model and toward a data-driven future. We intentionally cultivate a culture of innovation where technology is used offensively to create transparency for carriers and efficiency for attorneys. We are already live with cutting-edge tools like LexisNexis Protégé, OraClaim, and LawKPIs; now, we are looking for an architect to scale them.

We seek a "builder" rather than a maintainer. You should be a product thinker who is comfortable working inside APIs and fluent in automation frameworks. The ideal candidate is obsessed with data structure and thrives in fast-moving, entrepreneurial environments. You are someone who views AI not as a drafting shortcut, but as a total systems upgrade. You should be motivated to translate complex legal operations into scalable, automated systems, demonstrating a commitment to technical excellence and strategic growth.
