The Role
We are building a new, high-impact engineering hub in the heart of New York City and are seeking a highly experienced Senior Software Engineer to join our founding team. This is a unique opportunity to shape the technical direction, culture, and execution standards of a rapidly growing division.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be entrusted with significant technical ownership and autonomy. We are looking for engineers who thrive on end-to-end execution, from concept to deployment, in a fast-paced environment. This role demands a high level of technical mastery, the ability to operate independently, and a relentless focus on delivering high-quality, impactful results.
What You'll Do
- Take full ownership of critical features and services, driving the entire software development lifecycle with minimal supervision.
- Design, develop, test, and deploy highly performant, scalable, and resilient software systems.
- Contribute significantly to technical architecture discussions, making sound, data-driven decisions that balance speed, reliability, and maintainability.
- Work closely with product managers, designers, and other stakeholders to translate ambiguous requirements into well-defined technical solutions.
- This is an onsite-only position at our new New York engineering hub, fostering tight-knit collaboration and rapid execution.
What You Bring
- 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 backend development
- You’re autonomous and take pride in the code you write
- You’re a problem solver who’s not afraid to come up with creative solutions and think holistically about software architecture
- Someone who enjoys being in the office 5 days a week. A key component of Legora’s success has been in-person collaboration and we want you to be part of that.
- Experience in infrastructure and integrations is a big plus
What’s In It For You
- Global collaboration: Partner with teams and clients domestically and internationally.
- Competitive package: Comprehensive salary, benefits, and tools for success.
- Meaningful work: Your efforts shape how thousands of lawyers use AI daily.
- In-person environment: Union Square office designed for ambitious builders.
- Benefits & Perks: We invest in our people with a comprehensive, thoughtfully designed benefits package:
Medical, Dental & Vision
- Multiple medical plan options through Aetna and Kaiser Permanente
- HSA or Healthcare FSA (based on plan selection)
- Dental plans via MetLife
- Vision plans via Vision Care
Family Support
- Generous parental leave
- Free access to Maven Clinic
- Dependent Care FSA
- Free One Medical membership for employees and dependents
Additional Perks

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.
