About Us

Legora is on a mission: to redefine how legal work gets done. From the very start we have been very clear about the fact that we are not building a solution for lawyers, we are building it with them, because it is the only way to make sure it gets done the right way; working side-by-side every step of the way.

Our AI-native workspace empowers legal professionals not just to work faster - but to ask better questions, unlock new insights. Every day, we push the boundaries of legal tech to make complex processes smarter, faster, and more human. From thousands of documents analysed in minutes to intelligent workflows designed in collaboration with leading practices, we’re turning possibility into reality.

Today we are trusted by global firms like Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Bird & Bird and Linklaters in over 40 countries, but we have no plans on stopping here. We ship fast, we iterate effectively, and we scale rapidly - not by accident, but by design.

When you join Legora, you become part of a team that believes "good enough" isn’t good enough and that the way to win is together, by empowering lawyers to do their best work with technology that truly understands them. If you’re excited by building from first principles, working with exceptional people, and accelerating change in a high-stakes, high-impact domain—then this is the moment and the place.

We’re not just shaping the future of legal tech — we’re defining it. Ready to join us in building the intelligent future of law?

What You’ll Do

As Lead Legal Engineer, you’ll operate as a player-coach: leading Legora’s most complex and high-impact client engagements while managing and developing a team of Legal Engineers. You’ll combine deep legal knowledge, product expertise, and people leadership to drive adoption, accelerate time-to-value, and deliver measurable outcomes across your clients and your team.

You’ll be responsible for

• Leading enterprise-level pilots and implementations across multiple stakeholders and products, from discovery through go-live, with clear success metrics.

• Owning priority client use cases end-to-end, shaping scalable onboarding and implementation frameworks.

• Acting as a senior thought partner to clients, building trusted relationships with partners, legal ops, and innovation leaders.

• Delivering executive-level demos, workshops, and presentations, clearly articulating value and handling complex objections.

• Influencing internal teams (Product, Go-to-Market, Customer Success) on implementation strategy, setup, and handover.

• Representing the voice of the customer, surfacing product gaps with evidence and driving them through to resolution.

• Building and refining team processes, systems, and operating rhythms that scale delivery quality and team effectiveness as the Legal Engineering function grows.

• Providing ongoing coaching, feedback, and career development support to drive individual and team growth.

• Managing and developing a team of Legal Engineers, setting clear goals, expectations, and performance standards.

• Leading hiring efforts for the Legal Engineering team, helping to attract and onboard top talent.

What You Bring

You’ve built your career at the intersection of law, technology, delivery, and people leadership, and are comfortable owning complex work, leading senior conversations, and navigating ambiguity.

You’ll thrive in this role if you:

• Have a background in law, with experience at a top-tier firm, in-house legal team, or legal tech environment.

• Have direct people management experience, including hiring, developing, and performance-managing a team in a client-facing or delivery environment.

• Bring senior experience delivering complex client implementations or programmes with multiple stakeholders.

• Are product-savvy and tech-curious, with a strong grasp of generative AI and legal workflows.

• Communicate clearly and confidently with both technical and non-technical audiences.

• Excel at stakeholder and programme management, influencing priorities and navigating high-stakes conversations.

• Bring experience in legal tech or a technology-driven environment — a strong plus, though not required.

• Bring structure to complexity, move quickly without sacrificing quality, and focus on outcomes over perfection.

What's in it for you

• Global collaboration: Partner with teams and clients across 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: Office designed for ambitious builders.

• Benefits: U.S. employees receive medical, dental, and vision coverage, flexible paid time off plus company holidays, and a 401(k) with company match and automatic enrollment.
