• Own the full lifecycle of delivery and operational support across Legal Technology products
• Identify and resolve application defects using structured troubleshooting approaches
• Work closely with vendors and internal teams to deliver deployments, enhancements, and ongoing operational support

We’re interested in hearing from people who

• Have experience as a senior full‑cycle software engineer, ideally within legal firms, legal technology providers, or enterprise legal environments
• Bring hands‑on experience working with legal practice systems, such as document management, matter management, eDiscovery, or governance and risk platforms
• Have exposure to Legal Technology platforms, including:
  • Cloud iManage and iManage Share
  • Diligent Boards
  • Atticus
  • Pursuit
  • RelativityOne
  • ServiceNow
• Design, build, and operate production‑grade software systems
• Implement automation frameworks across UI, API, performance, integration, and security testing

• Collaborate with the team to ensure testability, observability, and resilience by design
• Drive quality strategy within the squad, aligned to engineering and product goals
• Mentor graduates and engineers, fostering a culture of engineering excellence and accountability
• Establish engineering dashboards that provide visibility into delivery quality and production health
• Continuously learn and grow across coding, testing, deployment, and operations
• Take end‑to‑end ownership of features from design → code → testing → deployment → monitoring

Technical skills

We use a broad range of tools, languages, and frameworks. You don’t need experience with everything, but exposure to some of the following will set you up for success:

• Strong programming skills in one or more languages such as C#/.NET, Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, or Python
• Experience with CI/CD tools (e.g. TeamCity, GitHub, Jenkins)
• Good understanding of API testing, microservices, and cloud‑native architectures (preferably AWS)
• Familiarity with observability tools such as Splunk, Observe, or CloudWatch
• Experience with test automation frameworks (e.g. Playwright, DevTest, Appium, Sahi)
• Solid understanding of DevSecOps principles, SDLC best practices, and release governance
• Experience using AI coding assistants (e.g. GitHub Copilot, Roo Code) to accelerate development and testing tasks
