About the role

About Us

Legora's standard text

Legora is redefining how legal work gets done. Not built for lawyers, built with them. We work alongside the world’s best legal teams, who expect excellence, precision, and speed, and we hold ourselves to the same bar.

Our AI-native workspace lets legal professionals move faster, think more clearly, and operate with sharper precision. By analysing thousands of documents in minutes and powering end-to-end workflows, we cut through complexity, teams can focus on what matters: judgment, strategy, and outcomes.

2,100+ customers across 80+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to $200M+ in ARR, with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI, Graceview, Cadastral, and Wexler.

Legora's standard text

We partner with world-class performers: including Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees, Ludvig Åberg (and his caddie), and campaigns featuring Jude Law.

Joining Legora means three things.

  • We lean in: ownership over titles, outcomes over intentions.
  • We fight for excellence: high standards, direct, ego-free feedback.
  • We grow together: as a team and with our customers.

Mission before ego. Everyone contributes. No one coasts.

If you’re driven by impact, pace, and raising the bar. This is the place.

The role

As a Senior Software Engineer at Legora you will build, review and ship amazing products helping legal professionals all over the world in their day-to-day job. You’ll get the chance to work across the entire tech stack with clear ownership and autonomy.

  • Architect and implement features end-to-end for our web platform
  • Take ownership of our codebase, balancing high-quality code, security and speed of development
  • Work with technologies such as TypeScript, React, Node.js, AWS, Azure and Kubernetes
  • Review code and mentor junior colleagues to support them in their development, making the team even better!
  • Drive continuous improvement and challenge us, the industry and yourself

Who you are

  • A passionate engineer with several years of experience building great products using cutting-edge technologies
  • You feel comfortable working across the entire tech stack, with focus on either frontend or backend development
  • You’re autonomous and take pride in the code you write
  • You have strong engineering judgment and taste, and can quickly understand unfamiliar codebases and control flows
  • You’re a problem solver who values simple, pragmatic architecture and can explain your trade-offs clearly
  • Experience in infrastructure and integrations is a big plus
