Engineering Manager

• We lean in: ownership over titles, outcomes over intentions.

About the Role

As an Engineering Manager at Legora, you’ll lead by example—hands-on in the code while guiding a talented team of engineers. You’ll architect and deliver features that make legal professionals’ lives easier, drive technical excellence, and help shape a product used by forward-thinking law firms around the world. This is a role for someone who loves to build, mentor, and scale both people and systems.

What You'll Do

• Design and implement end-to-end features across our fullstack platform

• Contribute directly to the codebase while supporting the growth of your team

• Lead architecture discussions and technical decision-making

• Ensure high standards in code quality, security, and performance

• Collaborate closely with Product and Design to ship value quickly and reliably

• Review code, give feedback, and mentor engineers at all levels

• Champion best practices in development, DevOps, and continuous improvement

• Work with Node.js, React, Azure, AWS and Kubernetes

• Work every day to ensure your team is healthy and efficient
  

Who You Are

• A seasoned fullstack or backend engineer with 1-3 years of leadership experience

• Comfortable being hands-on while also setting technical direction

• Skilled in building scalable products and owning complex systems end-to-end

• Strong communicator who leads with empathy and clarity

• Passionate about mentoring others and helping teams grow

• Confident working across backend, frontend, and infrastructure

• Curious, pragmatic, and always looking for smarter ways to build and deliver

• But most importantly, you are someone who:

  • “Gets stuff done” and understands building a successful company isn’t always glamorous and takes hard work and long hours

  • Proactively and independently solves the most burning problems

  • Thrives in a fast-paced environment where the answers aren’t always clear and processes are few

*Candidates will go through the same interview process as software engineering candidates (including a coding task and a technical interview), with additional interview steps at the end designed for the engineering manager role.
