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
- Build end-to-end features across our fullstack platform
- Stay hands-on in the codebase while growing your team
- Lead architecture and technical decisions, holding a high bar for quality, security, and performance
- Partner with Product and Design to ship value quickly and reliably
- Review code and mentor engineers at all levels
- Champion best practices in development, DevOps, and continuous improvement
- Work with Node.js, React, Azure, AWS and Kubernetes
- Keep your team 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

About US
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.
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.
