Build core systems and web platform features for an AI-native legal workspace.
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
As a Software Engineer at Legora, you’ll play a key role in building the technical foundation that powers our products, designing, developing, and improving the core systems used by legal professionals around the world. You’ll work across the stack, contributing to the architecture and features that define our platform.
*This is a Stockholm-based, 5-day in-office role, we believe building together in person drives better outcomes.
What you will be doing:
Lead the design, development, and deployment of end-to-end features for our web platform, ensuring high performance, security, and reliability.
Take full ownership of critical parts of the codebase, balancing quality, scalability, and speed of development.
Work with technologies such as React, Node.js, AWS, Azure, and Kubernetes, leveraging the right tools to solve complex challenges.
Collaborate closely with product and design teams to translate requirements into elegant, robust technical solutions.
Review code and mentor colleagues, raising the overall technical bar and fostering a culture of excellence.
Drive continuous improvement by challenging assumptions, exploring new technologies, and pushing both yourself and the team to innovate.
Contribute to infrastructure, integrations, and architecture discussions to ensure the platform evolves sustainably.
Who you are
An engineer with experience building and shipping modern software products.
Comfortable working across the stack, with solid skills in backend development.
Passionate about writing maintainable, secure code—and take pride in building things that last.
A problem solver who enjoys thinking about architecture, data flows, and long-term sustainability.
Familiar with cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, and integrations (experience with enterprise-scale systems is a plus, but not required).
Proactive, curious, and motivated by working in a fast-paced, collaborative startup environment.
