Who you are
Skilled: You have a proven track record of developing reliable backend systems and API integrations and you are not afraid of responsibility for important and mission-critical software.

You’re a problem solver who’s not afraid to come up with creative solutions and think holistically about data and architecture.

Autonomous: Although constantly working in a team we believe in self leadership and ownership! You value feedback, take initiative without needing direction, and focus on outcomes. You are not afraid to try new things and learn from your mistakes rather than play it safe.

But you’ll get to work with a team of brilliant and dedicated people that are all working to solve difficult problems and really change how legal work is done.
