## 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
