Staff Software Engineer

Legora

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.

1,000+ customers across 50+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We've scaled to $100M+ in ARR , with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI and Graceview.

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.
About the Role

Legora is looking for a Staff Software Engineer to play a lead role in shipping high-impact features and building scalable systems. In this senior position, you'll own delivery of technical solutions from design through production, driving innovation while collaborating closely with Product, Engineering, and other teams.

What You'll Do
  • Architect, design, and ship new features with a focus on speed, quality, and reliability
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to translate business needs and product ideas into robust technical solutions
  • Lead engineers through the full software development lifecycle-from ideation and scoping to development, release, and ongoing optimization
  • Champion automation and process improvements that accelerate feature delivery and maintain technical excellence
  • Ensure code quality, documentation, and compliance standards are met as features move from prototype to release
  • Mentor engineers and foster a collaborative, high-trust environment that values rapid delivery
Who You Are
  • Extensive experience in software engineering, with a history of shipping impactful features in complex systems
  • Deep understanding of system design, software architecture, and modern development practices
  • Effective technical leader and mentor who prioritizes feature delivery without sacrificing quality
  • Exceptional collaborator and communicator, comfortable working across disciplines and with stakeholders at all levels
  • Advocate for continuous delivery, automation, and process efficiency
What's In It For You
  • Global collaboration: Partner with teams and clients domestic 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
    • Pre-tax commuter benefits
    • Life Insurance + STD/LTD
    • 401(K) with generous company match
    • Unlimited PTO
    • Robust voluntary benefits, including identity protection (via Aura), legal coverage via MetLife, pet savings programs, and more

At Legora, we believe great teams are built on diversity of thought and experience. We're proud to be an equal opportunity employer and committed to creating an inclusive, high-performance culture where everyone can do their best work.
