Job Overview

Relativity is a leading legal data intelligence company building technology that helps users organize data, discover the truth, and act on it with confidence. Our AI‑powered, cloud platform, RelativityOne, transforms massive volumes of complex information into actionable insights for litigation, investigations, regulatory inquiries, data breach responses, and other high‑stakes legal work where accuracy and trust are crucial. The world’s largest law firms, corporations, and government agencies rely on Relativity’s legal AI software to securely surface and manage the most relevant and impactful information in their matters.

Beyond our commercial impact, we’re deeply committed to expanding access to technology for academic institutions through Relativity Academic and supporting pro bono legal work through Justice for Change.

Who We Do

At Relativity, engineers don’t just write code. They shape how industries uncover critical insights, ensure compliance, and continuously evolve our platform using cloud‑native architectures, AI capabilities, and modern developer tooling. Engineering is at the heart of how we deliver secure, reliable systems at scale. If you’re passionate about solving hard problems, designing for scale, and building tools that matter while working in a culture that values transparency, innovation, and shared success, Relativity offers the opportunity to make a measurable impact.

Job Description and Requirements

What You’ll Do

Build and Deliver – Design, develop, and operate secure, maintainable, and scalable cloud‑native web applications using object‑oriented principles, modern architecture, and cloud‑native patterns.

Lead by Example – Provide technical guidance and mentorship by driving design decisions, elevating engineering practices, and enabling delivery of reliable, high‑quality software.

Raise the Bar – Champion security, quality, observability, and DevOps workflows to ensure performance and reliability.

Full‑Stack Impact – Deliver solutions across front‑end (modern JavaScript frameworks) and back‑end (distributed, service‑oriented systems).

Leverage the Cloud – Use microservices, containers, and managed Azure services (.NET, Cosmos DB, SQL Server, App Services, Docker) to deliver scalable cloud platforms.

Work Smarter with AI – Use AI‑assisted and agentic coding to accelerate development while maintaining strong engineering rigor, including secure‑by‑design practices, test‑first development, code review, and clear documentation of AI‑generated changes.

Foster Collaboration – Drive team success through pair programming, thoughtful code reviews, shared design sessions, and high‑quality documentation.

Mentor and Grow Talent – Coach engineers on secure coding, cloud‑native design, and troubleshooting distributed systems using modern observability practices.

What We’re Looking For

U.S. citizen required; must be able to obtain and maintain a Public Trust clearance when required to support sensitive government‑related projects. 5+ years of professional experience building commercial‑grade software and cloud‑native applications. Hands‑on experience with Azure cloud services, Docker, .NET, JavaScript, React, Cosmos DB, and SQL Server. Deep knowledge of object‑oriented design, distributed services, and Microsoft Azure technologies. Demonstrated ability to improve engineering velocity using AI‑assisted coding tools while maintaining code quality, security, and test coverage. Proven ability to deliver solutions in dynamic, fast‑paced environments. Excellent collaboration, communication, and problem‑solving skills. Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. Strong full‑stack expertise across front‑end, back‑end, and cloud infrastructure tiers.
