Come join our team and work inspired each day! What You’ll Do NetDocuments has just unveiled a major redesign of the platform our customers rely on every day. The new experience is built on a foundation that captures how the matters, documents, and people inside a firm connect — so AI can work the way legal professionals actually work. The launch is being covered as one of the most significant platform shifts in legal technology this year, and our CPO has called it the deepest piece of platform engineering we have ever shipped. This is the team behind a major piece of that experience: the next-generation web application, the design system that gives it shape, the surfaces customers touch every day, and the integrations that bring AI-driven document understanding into the product. We’re seeking an Engineering Manager to lead one of the engineering teams building it. The work is in flight. We’re shipping to real customers, sharpening the experience, and growing the team. You’ll join at a formative moment for the platform — when leadership decisions, technical bets, and team-building habits compound for years. This is one of the largest strategic investments NetDocuments has made. The Engineering Manager who leads this team will help shape what NetDocuments becomes — and grow the leadership skills and experience that pave the way for future opportunities. A few principles shape this work and the candidates we’re looking for in this role: Validate, then scale. We ship to real users early, learn fast, and earn our way to production hardening as the product proves its value. AI-forward. The new platform is not a refreshed UI on the old product — it’s designed around what AI makes possible. Customer feedback drives the roadmap. What we build next, and when, is shaped by what customers tell us matters most. Built from the ground up. We’re not patching the past. We’re building a new foundation that meets a higher bar for usability, reliability, and intelligence.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
7+ years of software engineering experience.
2+ years leading engineering teams, including both software engineers and software test engineers.
Experience building and delivering enterprise-scale, customer-facing software products.
Strong understanding of modern software development practices, including cloud platforms, CI/CD, distributed systems, and scalable architectures.
Proven ability to lead teams through ambiguity while balancing execution and technical quality.

Help build and execute a roadmap that balances customer-facing impact, technical excellence, and long-term platform durability.
Guide your team through planning, execution, and delivery while holding a high bar for quality.
Lead through ambiguity — sequencing the work, derisking it, and adjusting as we learn from real users.
Collaborate cross-functionally
