About the role

About the Role

As an Engineering Manager at Legora, you’ll lead by example—hands-on in the code while guiding a talented team of engineers. You’ll architect and deliver features that make legal professionals’ lives easier, drive technical excellence, and help shape a product used by forward-thinking law firms around the world. This is a role for someone who loves to build, mentor, and scale both people and systems.

What You'll Do

  • Design and implement end-to-end features across our fullstack platform
  • Contribute directly to the codebase while supporting the growth of your team
  • Lead architecture discussions and technical decision-making
  • Ensure high standards in code quality, security, and performance
  • Collaborate closely with Product and Design to ship value quickly and reliably
  • Review code, give feedback, and mentor engineers at all levels
  • Champion best practices in development, DevOps, and continuous improvement
  • Work with Node.js, React, Azure, AWS and Kubernetes
  • Work every day to ensure your team is healthy and efficient

Who You Are

  • A seasoned fullstack or backend engineer with 1-3 years of leadership experience
  • Comfortable being hands-on while also setting technical direction
  • Skilled in building scalable products and owning complex systems end-to-end
  • Strong communicator who leads with empathy and clarity
  • Passionate about mentoring others and helping teams grow
  • Confident working across backend, frontend, and infrastructure
  • Curious, pragmatic, and always looking for smarter ways to build and deliver
  • But most importantly, you are someone who:
    • “Gets stuff done” and understands building a successful company isn’t always glamorous and takes hard work and long hours
    • Proactively and independently solves the most burning problems
    • Strives in a fast-paced environment where the answers aren’t always clear and processes are few

*Candidates will go through the same interview process as software engineering candidates (including a coding task and a technical interview), with additional interview steps at the end designed for the engineering manager role.

*This is a New York City-based, 5-day in-office role, we believe building together in person drives better outcomes.

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

    • Additional Perks
