Technical Lead, eDiscovery Products

About the Role

We are hiring a Technical Lead to lead the engineering effort for replat forming and evolving a suite of proprietary tools that power differentiated eDiscovery client delivery - spanning insight generation from large-scale data sets and mobile data review.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You will be one of the primary builders; setting technical direction, establishing engineering standards, and driving execution while staying close to the code. You will work in close partnership with the Product Manager to translate vision into a working, scalable product, and will continue to own and grow the technical foundation as the suite expands.

What You'll Do

• Lead engineering on the replat forming of a suite of eDiscovery tools - serving as the primary technical decision-maker on architecture, infrastructure, data modelling, and integrations.
• Architect and build migration of an analytics tool from desktop to a modern web-based platform, including ingestion pipelines for email data (Reveal RDM) and mobile data (Cellebrite).
• Drive the technical evolution of a document review tool from a platform-hosted experience to a standalone application integrating with Relativity via API, with a path to supporting additional review platforms.
• Establish engineering foundations from scratch: CI/CD, testing infrastructure, deployment practices, coding standards, and security posture.
• Partner with the Product Manager to sequence work, scope complexity, and surface trade-offs - ensuring architectural decisions serve both near-term delivery and long-term platform goals.
• Build and grow the engineering team, hiring and mentoring engineers while cultivating a culture of craft and pragmatism.

What We're Looking For

Required

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, with meaningful time spent in legal technology, eDiscovery, or adjacent compliance/investigations domains.
• Deep, hands-on expertise with Relativity custom development: you have built custom applications, integrations, or workflows on Relativity - you know its data model, APIs, and review workflows inside out.
• Proven ability to build from scratch: you have served as a founding or lead engineer on at least one greenfield product, making early architectural decisions that defined it for years.
• Strong command of modern web application architecture - you can design and implement a scalable, full-stack application including cloud infrastructure, APIs, and data pipelines.
• Experience designing large-scale data ingestion and processing pipelines, including handling schema variability, deduplication, and transformation at scale.
• Startup mindset: comfortable with ambiguity, able to move quickly, and skilled at making pragmatic architectural decisions that balance speed with long-term soundness.

Strongly Preferred

• Experience building integrations with Reveal (formerly Brainspace) or its RDM data processing platform.
• Experience with Cellebrite exports or similar mobile forensic data - format variability, conversation threading, metadata complexity, and chain-of-custody considerations.
• Experience leading a platform migration or technical debt reduction initiative - rebuilding the plane while keeping it in the air.
• Hands-on experience with desktop-to-web migrations, including architectural patterns, performance considerations, and UX implications.
• Experience working in or alongside an eDiscovery managed services or consulting practice, where end users are practitioners with high-stakes workflow needs.

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with analytics or insight-generation techniques applied to unstructured legal data - NLP, clustering, entity extraction, or similar.
• Experience building multi-tenant SaaS applications or transitioning single-tenant tools to a shared-infrastructure model.
• Background in data security and chain-of-custody requirements within litigation or investigations contexts.
• Experience introducing modern engineering practices (CI/CD, automated testing, observability) in organizations new to formal software development.
