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
Are you ready to take your AI career to the next level? At Legora, we’re on a mission to revolutionize the legal industry with cutting-edge AI and LLM tech. We’re seeking software engineers to join our fast-moving team, where you’ll work on technically difficult projects with the support of an amazing team, and help redefine how legal professionals work.
*This is a Stockholm-based, 5-day in-office role, we believe building together in person drives better outcomes.
What you will be doing:
Architect and implement AI and LLM features end-to-end for our web platform
Build systems that let lawyers work with complex documents through grounded, reliable AI — including document upload, processing, retrieval, citations, and long-context reasoning
Design and evaluate agentic workflows, retrieval strategies, and LLM-powered product experiences that can handle real legal work at scale
Work with technologies such as React, Node.js, AWS, Azure and Kubernetes
Take ownership of our codebase, balancing high-quality code, security and speed of development
Own and drive forward PoCs and solve broad technical challenges
Who you are
A passionate software engineer with a few years of experience implementing and evaluating AI and LLM applications
A strong coder who can move quickly in unfamiliar codebases while keeping quality high
Proficient in languages like TypeScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on clean, efficient, and maintainable code
You have strong product and technical judgment around applied AI — from retrieval, embeddings, citations, evals and hallucination risks to when simpler approaches are better
You’re autonomous and take pride in the systems you architect
You’re a low ego, true team player
You’re a problem solver who’s not afraid to come up with creative solutions and think holistically about applied AI
