Engineering Manager

Employment Type: FullTime

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?

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 will be doing:

• 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 Stockholm-based, 5-day in-office role, we believe building together in person drives better outcomes.
