Senior Software Engineer

About the role

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.

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.

- 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
