Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Forward Deployed Engineer - SE - **Company:** Legora - **Location:** London, UK - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Artificial Intelligence, Software Debugging, Document Management Systems, OpenID, Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), Microsoft SharePoint, Backend, Data Pipelines - **Published:** July 11, 2026 - **Apply:** https://uk.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=70d00364f2ae40bd ## About the Role * A strong generalist engineer comfortable writing backend code and working across APIs, auth protocols, and data pipelines * Experienced in customer-facing technical roles - pre-sales engineering, solutions engineering, or embedded delivery - where you've had to own outcomes, not just hand off specs * Familiar with enterprise integration patterns: SSO (SAML, OIDC), REST and webhook-based APIs, and document management systems like iManage, SharePoint, or NetDocuments * Able to move fast without cutting corners - you know when to build something robust and when to ship something good enough to unblock a customer * A clear communicator who can hold a technical conversation with an IT administrator and a strategic one with a managing partner - sometimes in the same meeting * Comfortable with ambiguity and energised by early-stage problems that don't have a playbook yet ## Description As a Forward Deployed Engineer at Legora, you'll sit at the intersection of product engineering and customer success - embedded directly with our most complex enterprise clients to make our AI-native platform work seamlessly in their environments. You'll write real code, solve real integration challenges, and leave behind infrastructure that outlasts your visit. What you'll be doing * Embed with enterprise customers during and after deployment, writing production-grade code to bridge Legora's platform with their existing legal tech stack * Own the full technical scoping process: gather requirements, design integration architecture, and deliver working solutions end-to-end * Build and maintain reusable connectors, automation scripts, and tooling that accelerate future customer deployments * Debug and resolve complex production issues at the intersection of customer environments and Legora's platform - often under time pressure * Act as the technical voice of the customer internally - surface friction points, edge cases, and integration gaps directly to our product and engineering teams * Partner with Sales and Customer Success to scope new deals and expand existing accounts where technical complexity is a deciding factor * Work closely with Engineering and Product to deliver successful integrations and improve general product offering ## Related Videos - [Keeping applications secure by evolving OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100152-keeping-applications-secure-by-evolving-oauth-2-0-and-openid-connect) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Why and when should we consider Stream Processing frameworks in our solutions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1085-why-and-when-should-we-consider-stream-processing-frameworks-in-our-solutions) - [Migrating half a million users to a new payment service provider](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/730-migrating-half-a-million-users-to-a-new-payment-service-provider) - [Delegating the chores of authenticating users to Keycloak](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1558-delegating-the-chores-of-authenticating-users-to-keycloak) - [Building Developer Experience - Brick by Brick](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1461-building-developer-experience-brick-by-brick) ## Related Articles - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [7 Most Popular Web Developer Jobs in Europe](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/163-7-most-popular-web-developer-jobs-in-europe)
