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

• Build end-to-end features across our fullstack platform
• Stay hands-on in the codebase while growing your team
• Lead architecture and technical decisions, holding a high bar for quality, security, and performance
• Partner with Product and Design to ship value quickly and reliably
• Review code and mentor engineers at all levels
• Champion best practices in development, DevOps, and continuous improvement
• Work with Node.js, React, Azure, AWS and Kubernetes
• Keep your team 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
• Thrives 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.
