We bring legal research, drafting of pleadings and contracts, document analysis, and case preparation together in a single experience. We currently operate in France, Turkey, and Germany, and we aim to extend the growth we've achieved in our current markets to Brazil, Spain, and Italy. We achieved this growth entirely bootstrapped, without raising any external investment, making us one of the fastest go-to-market success stories among Legal AI startups in the world. Since our founding, we've scaled our team to 120+ people, backed by a proprietary database of millions of court decisions and legal documents that turns days of legal research into seconds. We are looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to lead, empower, and grow our engineering team across Backend, Frontend, and DevOps/Infrastructure. In this role, you will bridge strategic product goals with technical execution, driving the architecture, operational reliability, and continuous delivery of our web applications and infrastructure. Key Responsibilities Lead, coach, and develop a multidisciplinary engineering team spanning Backend, Frontend, and DevOps . Translate company and product priorities into clear technical roadmaps, milestones, and ownership areas across the web applications, APIs, and cloud infrastructure. Own the end-to-end delivery and operational quality of software systems, from architecture design through production deployment and continuous improvement. Work closely with Product, Design, and domain teams to convert complex product requirements into technically sound, scalable, and measurable engineering initiatives. Guide architectural decisions across the stack—ensuring high availability, system performance, secure data isolation, and robust API design. Oversee DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, observability, and release management to ensure safe, continuous, and predictable deployments. Establish strong engineering standards, code quality practices, automated testing strategies, and clear release criteria across backend and frontend domains. Define and monitor engineering health metrics covering system reliability, latency, cloud costs, security compliance, uptime, and team delivery velocity. Identify technical risks, infrastructure bottlenecks, and delivery constraints early, taking proactive steps to resolve or mitigate them. Lead hiring, onboarding, performance management, career development, and capacity planning for the engineering organization. Create an environment where engineers can take ownership, communicate openly, challenge assumptions, and grow technically. Contribute to executive-level technical decisions, including cloud infrastructure investments, build-versus-buy choices, and tech stack evolution. What We’re Looking For 7+ years of experience in software engineering (Backend, Frontend, or Full-Stack), with a strong track record of operating systems in production. 2+ years of formal experience managing or leading engineering teams across software development and infrastructure. Strong technical background in building and scaling web applications, REST/GraphQL APIs, distributed systems, and modern cloud infrastructure. Solid familiarity with modern Frontend ecosystems (e.g., React, Next.js, Vue) and Backend environments (e.g., Node.js, Python, Go, Java). Practical understanding of DevOps and SRE practices , including CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure), and Infrastructure as Code. Proven ability to grow engineers through clear expectations, actionable feedback, coaching, and thoughtful delegation. Strong engineering judgment across system architecture, maintainability, scalability, latency, security, cost, and delivery trade-offs. Ability to communicate complex technical decisions clearly to engineers, product managers, domain experts, and executive leadership. Demonstrated success in converting broad strategic goals into concrete execution plans with consistent delivery. A management approach that balances technical quality, execution speed, system reliability, and team health. Why join us? Whatever your role, your work here will be visible and meaningful. We're a team that has grown without outside investment and achieved one of the fastest go-to-market successes in the space and we're looking for ambitious people who want to build the future of legal technology on a global stage.
