Job description

Aderant is a global industry leading software company providing comprehensive business management solutions for law firms and other professional services organizations with a mission to help them run a better business. We are motivated by a collective desire to drive the legal industry to the forefront of innovation. With over 2,500 clients around the world, including 95 of the top AmLaw 100 firms, we are changing the outside perception of the legal sphere; where there was once resistance to modernization, we are creating a culture that embraces new ideas and technology.

At Aderant, the “A” is more than just a letter. It is a representation of how we fulfill our foundational purpose, serving our clients.

We encourage our diverse teams to bring their whole selves to work – ideas, experience, and passion – to drive our mission forward.

Our people are our strength.

• Build modern web interfaces using TypeScript and frameworks like React or Next.
• Implement identity and access controls using Okta and other cloud auth providers.
• Leverage cloud tools in AWS
• Consume and build RESTful APIs, integrating with both SQL and NoSQL data stores
• Participate in agile development methodologies including Scrum, and contribute to sprint planning, daily standups, and retrospectives.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams in architecture design, technical reviews, and troubleshooting complex issues.
• Maintain high code quality through testing, automation, and continuous integration.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• 4+ years of professional software development experience.
• Strong experience in web technologies, API development/consumption, and full-stack application development.
• Hands-on expertise with cloud-native development patterns.
• Proficiency in TypeScript, NestJS (Node)
• Proficient with container technologies, including Docker and Kubernetes.
• Familiarity with DevOps pipelines, Git, Github - GH Actions, and Infrastructure-as-Code tools.
• Experience with modern testing practices (e.g., test automation, shift-left testing).
• Demonstrated ability to work on both greenfield and legacy systems in agile team environments

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience integrating or working with AI-assisted tools in development workflows.
• Familiarity with microservices, containerized environments (Docker/Kubernetes), and event-driven systems.
• Developing, deploying, and operating applications on AWS.
