Junior/Mid-level Forward Deployed Engineer
About The Position
As a Junior/Mid-level Forward Deployed Engineer, you'll work directly with enterprise customers to understand their needs and build the software that connects Legora to their systems and workflows. You'll build integrations and contribute to Legora's core product, taking defined projects from technical scoping through implementation, testing, and production delivery. You'll learn to turn customer needs into practical engineering solutions, with support from experienced engineers on more complex architecture and delivery decisions. This is a hands-on individual contributor role within Enterprise Engineering. You'll work closely with product engineers, Legal Engineers, and Engagement Managers, building your technical judgment and customer-facing skills while taking increasing ownership of delivery.
Requirements
- 2-3+ years of software engineering experience, with hands-on experience building and shipping production software.

- A clear communicator who is comfortable talking with customers, asking questions, and explaining technical work to engineers and nontechnical stakeholders.
- Experience taking a feature or defined project through implementation and delivery. You can explain what you built, the decisions you made, and the outcome.
