Forward Deployed Engineer

Legora Legora · Vertical AI · New York, NY · Customer Enablement

This role involves embedding with enterprise clients to integrate Legora's AI-native legal workspace into their existing tech stacks. The Forward Deployed Engineer will write production-grade code, design integration architectures, build reusable tooling, and resolve complex technical issues, acting as a bridge between clients and the product/engineering teams. The role requires strong generalist engineering skills, experience in customer-facing technical roles, and familiarity with enterprise integration patterns.

What you'd actually do

  1. Embed with enterprise customers during and after deployment, writing production-grade code to bridge Legora's platform with their existing legal tech stack
  2. Own the full technical scoping process: gather requirements, design integration architecture, and deliver working solutions end-to-end
  3. Build and maintain reusable connectors, automation scripts, and tooling that accelerate future customer deployments
  4. Debug and resolve complex production issues at the intersection of customer environments and Legora's platform — often under time pressure
  5. Act as the technical voice of the customer internally — surface friction points, edge cases, and integration gaps directly to our product and engineering teams
