Legal Engineer Associate

About Us

Legora is on a mission: to redefine how legal work gets done. From the very start we have been very clear about the fact that we are not building a solution for lawyers, we are building it with them, because it is the only way to make sure it gets done the right way; working side-by-side every step of the way.

Our AI-native workspace empowers legal professionals not just to work faster - but to ask better questions, unlock new insights. Every day, we push the boundaries of legal tech to make complex processes smarter, faster, and more human. From thousands of documents analysed in minutes to intelligent workflows designed in collaboration with leading practices, we’re turning possibility into reality.

Today we are trusted by global firms like Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Bird & Bird and Linklaters in over 40 countries, but we have no plans on stopping here. We ship fast, we iterate effectively, and we scale rapidly - not by accident, but by design.

When you join Legora, you become part of a team that believes "good enough" isn’t good enough and that the way to win is together, by empowering lawyers to do their best work with technology that truly understands them. If you’re excited by building from first principles, working with exceptional people, and accelerating change in a high-stakes, high-impact domain—then this is the moment and the place.

We’re not just shaping the future of legal tech — we’re defining it. Ready to join us in building the intelligent future of law?

The Role
This is a unique opportunity to sit at the intersection of law, technology, and product. You’ll gain hands on experience in how cutting edge AI is transforming the legal industry, while contributing directly to the development, testing, and adoption of our platform.

You’ll work closely with our Legal Engineers, Customer Success, and Product teams to:

- Support client facing pilots, onboarding, and training, helping legal teams get the most out of Legora.
- Design and evaluate use cases that showcase our AI on real legal tasks like contract review, research, and drafting.
- Capture insights from users and translate them into clear, actionable feedback for product improvements.
- Document best practices and contribute to internal playbooks for how legal AI can be deployed at scale.

- Exposure to and Interest in Law: Completed J.D. preferred; some legal or legal innovation work experience (e.g., paralegal, clerk, etc.) required.

Level of Experience: 0-2 years (Trainee/paralegal)
- Tech curious: Not necessarily a coder, but eager to engage with AI, product features, and workflow automation. Someone who is not afraid to experiment with prompt engineering.
- Strong communicator: Able to translate between lawyers and technologists clearly and confidently.
- Analytical and detail-oriented: Capable of evaluating outputs and spotting where AI meets or misses the mark.
- Adaptable and proactive: Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment, bringing structure to ambiguity.
