Job description
In this role you will build features and functionality for the Everlaw core product. You will work closely with our Product, Design, DevOps, Security Engineering and our application engineering leads to synthesize requirements and prioritize efforts. You will lead roadmapping, resourcing and execution for critical features and capabilities. You will support and coach engineers in their career development and growth.

Engineering is the backbone of Everlaw. We build features that delight our customers and apply the latest technical innovations to the product, while ensuring its smooth functioning.

We do this by supporting and empowering our team members to do their best work, by tackling challenging and complex engineering problems throughout the tech stack and by nurturing and supporting each team member through mentoring, coaching, and comprehensive feedback.
Everlaw’s mission is to promote justice by illuminating truth. Our company culture is open and vibrant and we’re committed to the professional growth of our team members, offering an annual learning and development stipend and regular check-ins with managers regarding career goals.
