The posting

As a Junior Legal Applications Engineer, you will join a well-established team who are delivering innovative legal solutions using legal technology and AI for the firm and its clients.

You will learn how technology is transforming legal service delivery and play a part in that journey. You will get hands-on experience working with diverse legal technology platforms, actively contribute to building and maintaining internal applications, and play an integral role in delivering legally focused, but technology-enabled projects.

Collaboration is at the heart of this position: you will work side by side with legal applications experts, lawyers, IT professionals, and external suppliers to help build solutions that make a real difference to how legal services are delivered by the firm.

This role provides training and mentorship from experienced team members and the opportunity to build skills in automation, workflow design, data analysis and low-code / no-code solution development. It is an excellent opportunity to begin a career in innovation and technology and join a team at the forefront of innovation in legal service delivery.

This is an entry‑level position designed for candidates who have recently completed a degree in Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, or a related analytical field and who are seeking to begin their career in legal technology.

This role reports to the Applications Development Manager.
