About The Position

Everlaw is looking for a Software Engineer to join our team. This is an amazing opportunity to launch your engineering career, make a real impact on our product and grow your skills with a team that's committed to your success. You’ll own complex product features from idea to full release, operating with significant autonomy across our entire tech stack to shape how legal teams uncover truth in vast amounts of data. Rather than being a cog in a massive pipeline or working under strict sprint cycles, you’ll build systems end-to-end alongside a dedicated product lead and designer, focusing on deep code quality and long-term maintainability. This is a full-time, exempt position based in our Oakland, CA office with a hybrid work schedule: in office M/W/Th with the option to work from home on Tu/Fr.

Strong foundational knowledge of computer science concepts, algorithms, and data structures.
Have built and delivered software projects through class assignments, personal projects, or internships.
Strong strategic thinking and a collaborative approach to solving complex technical problems.
Authorized to work in the United States. Please note that at this time, Everlaw is not sponsoring U.S. employment visas for this role.
