Job Overview

Who We Are

Relativity is a leading legal data intelligence company building technology that helps users organize data, discover the truth, and act on it with confidence. Our AI‑powered, cloud platform, RelativityOne, transforms massive volumes of complex information into actionable insights for litigation, investigations, regulatory inquiries, data breach responses, and other high‑stakes legal work where accuracy and trust are crucial.




The world’s largest law firms, corporations and government agencies rely on Relativity’s legal AI software to securely surface and manage the most relevant and impactful information in their matters. Beyond our commercial impact, we’re deeply committed to expanding access to technology for academic institutions through Relativity Academic and supporting pro bono legal work through Justice for Change.

What We Do

At Relativity, engineers don’t just write code— they harness AI tools to architect, optimize, and deliver scalable software faster and shape the future of legal technology. They shape how industries uncover critical insights, ensure compliance, advance access to justice and continuously evolve our platform using the latest technologies, including cloud-native architectures, AI capabilities, and modern developer tooling. Our AI powers privacy programs, identifies confidential information, and detects language indicating misconduct. We’re reimagining how legal professionals uncover truth at scale, and engineering is at the heart of that transformation.

As a member of the Unstructured Storage team within the Data Intelligence Foundation, you will help manage and scale platforms hosting petabytes of data. This role involves overseeing infrastructure on the Azure stack and developing storage abstraction layers, libraries, and content-addressable stores. Ultimately, you will empower internal developer teams to efficiently store, consume, and leverage their data.

If you’re passionate about solving hard problems, designing for scale, and building tools that matter—while working in a culture that values transparency, innovation, and shared success— Relativity offers the opportunity to make a measurable difference in the marketplace.
