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.
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.
