Job description

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.

1,000+ customers across 50+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to $100M+ in ARR, with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI and Graceview.

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 a Forward Deployed Engineer at Legora, you'll sit at the intersection of product engineering and customer success — embedded directly with our most complex enterprise clients to make our AI-native platform work seamlessly in their environments. You'll write real code, solve real integration challenges, and leave behind infrastructure that outlasts your visit.

What you'll be doing

• Embed with enterprise customers during and after deployment, writing production‑grade code to bridge Legora's platform with their existing legal tech stack




• Own the full technical scoping process: gather requirements, design integration architecture, and deliver working solutions end-to-end




• Build and maintain reusable connectors, automation scripts, and tooling that accelerate future customer deployments




• Debug and resolve complex production issues at the intersection of customer environments and Legora's platform — often under time pressure




• Act as the technical voice of the customer internally — surface friction points, edge cases, and integration gaps directly to our product and engineering teams




• Partner with Sales and Customer Success to scope new deals and expand existing accounts where technical complexity is a deciding factor




• Work closely with Engineering and Product to deliver successful integrations and improve general product offering

Who you are

• A strong generalist engineer comfortable writing backend code and working across APIs, auth protocols, and data pipelines




• Experienced in customer‑facing technical roles — pre‑sales engineering, solutions engineering, or embedded delivery — where you've had to own outcomes, not just hand off specs




• Familiar with enterprise integration patterns: SSO (SAML, OIDC), REST and webhook‑based APIs, and document management systems like iManage, SharePoint, or NetDocuments




• Able to move fast without cutting corners — you know when to build something robust and when to ship something good enough to unblock a customer




• A clear communicator who can hold a technical conversation with an IT administrator and a strategic one with a managing partner — sometimes in the same meeting




• Comfortable with ambiguity and energised by early‑stage problems that don't have a playbook yet
