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 Engineering Manager, Forward Deployed Engineering, you'll lead a team of engineers who put Legora to work inside our largest enterprise customers. Our Forward Deployed Engineers sit between customers, product and engineering. They work directly with the world's leading law firms and legal teams to understand how they operate, then build the software that connects Legora to their systems and workflows.

You'll lead by example: hands-on in the code while guiding a talented team, helping them deliver complex customer engagements and grow into owners who can run those engagements independently. You'll work closely with Product Engineering, Product, Design, Legal Engineers, Engagement Managers and our commercial teams. What your team builds shapes how thousands of lawyers use AI every day, and what it learns in the field helps decide what becomes part of the core product.

This is a New York City-based role, five days a week in our Union Square office. We believe building together in person drives better outcomes.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Lead, coach and grow a team of Forward Deployed Engineers in New York, review code, mentor engineers at every level, contribute to hiring, and keep the team healthy and effective.

- Set team objectives that connect to the goals of the FDE function, and plan how engagements are scoped, staffed, delivered and handed over.

- Stay hands-on by leading technical discovery and delivery on strategic accounts, building end-to-end features and integrations across our fullstack platform with Node.js, React, Azure, AWS and Kubernetes.

- Make architecture and technical decisions for your team's work, holding a high bar for quality, security and performance.

- Act as a trusted technical partner to customer stakeholders, aligning them on scope, tradeoffs and timelines.

- Work with Product, Design and Product Engineering to turn what the team learns in the field into reusable integrations, tooling or core capabilities.

- Track your team's delivery health, such as time to value, deployment quality and reuse, share it with FDE leadership, and champion good practices in development, DevOps and continuous improvement.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- Strong experience as a fullstack or backend engineer building and owning complex, scalable systems end to end, with confidence across backend, frontend and infrastructure.

- Experience leading and managing engineers, ideally in a customer-facing function such as forward deployed engineering.

- Strong ability to stay hands-on while setting technical direction for a team.

- Strong ability to communicate with empathy and clarity, and to earn the trust of senior technical and non-technical stakeholders, including reframing a request or resetting expectations when it's the right call.

- Strong product judgment, including knowing when to build something bespoke, when to push back, and when a customer need should shape the core product.

- Ability to take ownership, solve the most pressing problems independently, and make progress where the answers aren't clear and processes are few.

- Familiarity with enterprise integrations, APIs, authentication and data flows across systems you don't control. Nice to have: forward deployed experience at a high-growth B2B or AI company, work in legal, financial services or other regulated environments, experience shipping LLM-powered products, or TypeScript (we use it extensively, but welcome strong engineers from other stacks).

What’s In It For You

- Global collaboration: Partner with teams and clients domestically 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: Union Square office designed for ambitious builders.

- Benefits & Perks: We invest in our people with a comprehensive, thoughtfully designed benefits package:

Medical, Dental & Vision

- Multiple medical plan options through Aetna and Kaiser Permanente

- HSA or Healthcare FSA (based on plan selection)

- Dental plans via MetLife

- Vision plans via Vision Care

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
