Job description

At Litify, we're powering a new era for the legal industry. Since its founding in 2016, Litify has helped law firms and corporate legal departments turn operations into impact through its leading AI-native Platform of Action.

Over 55K legal professionals and 450+ enterprise clients across plaintiff, insurance defense, immigration, and the Fortune 500 trust Litify to combine cloud-based technology, configurable AI-native workflows, agentic AI, and powerful business analytics into one open ecosystem that moves legal teams from systems of record to systems of action.

Backed by Bessemer Venture Partners and recognized as an Inc. 5000 and Deloitte Technology Fast 500 fastest-growing private company, Litify is at the center of legal innovation. Headquartered in New York, we're building the last legal platform our customers will ever need.

About the Team

Lawyers bill in six-minute increments, and every one of them counts. Litify Time & Billing turns that time into revenue: time entry, billing rules and rates, pre-bills and invoices, payments, e-billing, and a two‑way sync with Accounting Seed. If you like problems where a rounding rule matters and an invoice has to be right every time, this is your team.

About the Role

Litify is looking for a Software Engineer to join our Time & Billing team. The code you ship decides how firms capture their time, bill their clients, and get paid. We recently integrated with an AI time‑capture partner, so the work lawyers do during the day becomes time entries that flow straight into billing. That is the kind of work this team takes on, and on a small team, your part in it is visible.

We want a strong, versatile engineer who works across the stack and is eager to dig into new technologies. Our product runs on Salesforce. Prior Salesforce experience isn’t required: if you come from Java, C#, TypeScript, or a similar stack, senior engineers on the team will help you learn the platform.

AI‑assisted development is how this team works.

We use AI coding assistants every day to plan, write, test, and review code. We want someone who already builds this way, knows how to check what the assistant produces, works within solid guardrails, and helps teammates do the same. AI makes each of us faster, but the team still designs, reviews, and decides together.

How we work

We value speed and follow-through. If you like shipping steadily and seeing your impact in the numbers, you will fit in here.

• We are a team of four engineers, part of a team of nine with an engineering manager, a product manager, a UX designer, and two QA engineers
• We work in two‑week agile sprints, where engineers and Product refine the work together and we estimate story points as a team
• We track what we complete each week and look at how AI helps us deliver more
• Features start from Figma designs and go through full QA and a package regression pass before each release
• We ship three major releases a year as Salesforce managed packages, plus patch releases, on a set schedule rather than through continuous deployment
• We keep meetings to a minimum and work through Jira and Slack

In this role, you will

• Design and build features for time capture, billing, and invoicing, from the data model to the UI
• Help lead how the team builds with AI, from agent workflows and shared prompts to review practices
• Build and maintain integrations, from our Accounting Seed sync to AI time‑capture partners
• Help build, test, and ship our releasesGo beyond the code: help shape requirements with Product, test your work end to end with QA, and refine UI details with UX
• Contribute to project documentation and knowledge bases

To be successful in this role, you have (required)

• 4+ years of experience with a typed back‑end language (for example Java, C#, TypeScript)
• Solid data modeling and SQL skills, including working with large data sets and designing code that scales
• A habit of writing tests
• Daily, hands‑on experience building software with AI coding assistants
• An ability to communicate clearly with Engineering and Product, including teammates in other time zones

Nice‑to‑have

• Prior experience developing on Salesforce (Apex, Lightning Web Components, SOQL), or Salesforce Administrator or Platform Developer certifications
• Experience at a Salesforce ISV, such as releasing managed packages and passing security review
• Legal billing knowledge, such as fee arrangements, rates, write‑downs, and LEDES e‑billing
• Experience with Accounting Seed or another finance or ERP product
• Experience building AI tooling, such as custom agents, MCP servers, or shared prompt libraries

Where you can grow

• Learn the Salesforce platform with support from senior engineers
• Use professional development funds for courses, conferences, and certifications, including Salesforce certifications
• Grow into owning an area of the product, from design through release
• Help shape the team’s AI practices and grow into leading them
• Build toward a senior role at a company that likes to promote from within
