About The Position

As a Senior Software Engineer at TopDog Law, you will design, build, and operate software systems that support critical business capabilities across the organization. Senior engineers are expected to own meaningful areas of the codebase, make sound technical decisions, and take responsibility for the quality and reliability of the systems they build.
You will work across product domains over time, partnering with Product, Data, and other engineers to deliver scalable, maintainable solutions in complex, real-world systems. Much of our current work involves extending and integrating with Salesforce-based systems, including custom Apex, integrations, and operational workflows. As the platform evolves, this role will also contribute to building services and applications outside of Salesforce using Node.js and TypeScript to support new capabilities and long-term scalability, with some supporting services and workflows implemented in Python. This is a hands-on role that values judgment, collaboration, and the ability to move work forward with limited direction.
This role is critical to our success because it:
Directly impacts [clients / revenue / case outcomes / team efficiency]
Supports speed, quality, and consistency as we scale
Helps protect and elevate the TopDog Law brand and client experience
Strengthens the foundation needed to grow responsibly and sustainably

• Ability to balance speed of delivery with long-term maintainability
• Comfort operating with ambiguity and driving work forward independently
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset
• Experience working in Git-based codebases using pull requests, reviews, and structured branching workflows
• Strong communication skills—written and verbal
• Ability to think critically, prioritize effectively, and execute with speed

• Experience in a fast-growing or high-volume environment
