From the original posting
We lean in: ownership over titles, outcomes over intentions.
The role
Legora's platform is a collection of engineering teams, each owning a different part of the foundation that lets the rest of the organisation ship fast and reliably. As a Senior Software Engineer in one of these teams, you'll build and own a core part of that foundation, helping legal professionals around the world work with confidence.
Depending on the team, you could be working on:
Identity, access and multi-tenancy
Documents, search and integrations
Enterprise controls such as audit, retention and admin tooling
Developer experience, from CI and testing to AI-assisted workflows
You'll get real ownership and autonomy, and your users are close by: other Legora engineers, internal teams and enterprise admins.
What you will be doing
Design, build and own services, APIs and tools that other teams and internal users rely on
Work across the stack, from backend-heavy services to admin UIs, using TypeScript, Node.js, React and Postgres
Build reliable, well-tested systems where correctness really matters
Use AI-assisted development in your daily work to raise the team's velocity and quality
Review code, mentor colleagues and help set the engineering bar
Who you are
An experienced software engineer with several years of building and running backend or fullstack systems at scale
Strong in TypeScript and Node.js (or a comparable stack), with solid fundamentals in API design, data modelling and relational databases
Drawn to systems where correctness matters more than feature velocity alone
Someone who treats other engineers and internal users as customers, and cares about good abstractions
Autonomous, with strong engineering judgment, a pragmatic approach to architecture and a clear way of explaining trade-offs
Comfortable working asynchronously across time zones
Experience with identity and access, multi-tenant systems, integrations, developer tooling or enterprise software is a big plus
