Job summary

Responsibilities

As a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer, you'll work directly with our largest enterprise customers to understand their needs and build the software that connects Legora to their systems and workflows.

• Work directly with enterprise customers to understand their systems, workflows, and constraints, translating their needs into clear technical requirements.
• Own engineering delivery from discovery and solution design through implementation, testing, deployment, and troubleshooting.
• Resolve ambiguity across customer stakeholders and internal teams. Challenge assumptions, explain tradeoffs, and align people on a realistic scope and timeline.
• Build integrations between Legora and customer systems, alongside changes to our core product. Identify opportunities to turn customer-specific work into reusable capabilities.
• Manage multiple engagements with a high degree of independence, sequencing work, identifying dependencies, and communicating risks early.

What they're looking for

• 5-7+ years of software engineering experience, with recent, hands-on ownership of production software and clear responsibility for technical decisions and delivery.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals. You can independently design, build, test, and ship reliable software, and work effectively in an existing product codebase.
• Comfortable leading technical conversations with customers. You can explain decisions and tradeoffs clearly to both engineers and nontechnical stakeholders.
• Experienced in taking ambiguous problems across multiple teams and turning them into working solutions. You can point to what you decided, built, and delivered.
• Strong product judgment. You understand the problem behind a request and can balance immediate customer needs with maintainability and broader product value.
