Software Engineering Manager
Our client is a recognized leader in legal technology, who was proudly honored as the "Cloud-based Practice Management Platform of the Year" by the 2025 LegalTech Breakthrough Awards. It provides innovative, cloud-based practice management solutions designed to streamline operations and enhance productivity for legal professionals.
This engineering leadership role is about much more than just building software; it’s about building the teams that create it and ensuring a seamless experience for both the customer and your team members.
They are looking for someone with grit who sets the bar high, constantly improves team workflows, and removes friction to unlock potential. You’ll be responsible for the full development and delivery lifecycle—from APIs and integrations to document processing and integrating AI/LLM features—while managing a mix of onshore and offshore Tech Leads and individual contributors.
Crucially, they need a leader who stays hands-on and contributes technically alongside the team. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, lead with a balance of empathy and deep technical expertise, and want to make a real impact in the legal industry, this is the perfect opportunity for you.
Responsibilities
Team Leadership & People Management
• Lead, mentor, and develop multiple technical teams consisting of team leads and individual contributors.
• Own hiring, performance management, career development, and retention for your direct reports.
• Build strong working relationships with Product, Design, CX, and other cross functional teams to ensure alignment and delivery.
• Drive and enable the team to reach outcomes.
Delivery & Execution
• Drive the delivery of roadmap features end-to-end: from planning and grooming through release, in a fast-moving environment.
• Own release planning and coordinate efficient, repeatable deployment cycles.
• Partner with Product Management to refine requirements, scope work, and provide accurate effort estimates.
• Identify and remove blockers; escalate risks early and with context.
Hands-On Technical Contribution
• Actively contribute to architecture discussions, code reviews, and technical design — this is a hands-on role with a meaningful IC component (~20–30% of your time).
• Lead the team’s work on document processing and automation features central to the platform.
• Drive the practical integration of AI/LLM capabilities into the product, working alongside engineers who are actively building these features today.
• Champion engineering best practices: clean architecture, DDD, VSA, code quality, automated testing, and documentation.
Cloud & Infrastructure
• Lead and actively contribute to the ongoing migration from AWS to Azure, making this a strategic priority for your team.
• Ensure adherence to cloud-native architecture best practices and Azure platform standards.
• Partner with the CISO organization to uphold data security standards across all platform and application development.
Technical Standards & Governance
• Adhere to and evolve software development best practices, coding standards, and SDLC governance.
• Own and improve KPIs related to engineering quality, release frequency, and team confidence.
• Manage third-party vendor and tooling relationships as needed alongside the broader engineering management team.
Required Skills & Experience
Technical
• Strong, demonstrable hands-on experience with C# and .NET (Framework 4.7.2 and/or .NET 10) in a production SaaS environment.
• Solid SQL Server expertise: schema design, query optimization, and data modeling.
• Experience with event-driven architectures; Kafka experience is a strong asset.
• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure (or a comparable cloud platform with a clear path to Azure proficiency); experience with AWS–Azure migrations is a significant plus.
• Strong understanding of RESTful API design, integration patterns, and service-oriented or microservices architecture.
• Practical experience working with or integrating LLMs or AI/ML capabilities into a commercial product.
• Experience with document processing or document automation systems is an asset.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, release automation, and DevOps practices.
• Experience with git and branching strategies for team collaboration.
• Use of Azure DevOps is a plus.
Leadership & Management
• 5+ years of direct people management experience leading software engineering teams, including at least some experience managing leads.
• 7+ years total experience in technology roles, with a track record of delivering complex SaaS products.
• Proven experience managing both onshore and offshore engineering resources across time zones.
• Demonstrated ability to balance hands-on technical contribution with people management and strategic thinking.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication; comfortable presenting to and collaborating with senior stakeholders.
• Results-oriented, with an ownership mindset and comfort making decisions with incomplete information.
Education
• BS/MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
Nice to Have
• Experience in legaltech, legal SaaS, or professional services software.
• Microsoft Azure certifications (e.g., Azure Solutions Architect Expert, Azure Developer Associate).
