Senior Software Engineer (Product)

Legl is a fast-growing, B2B regtech/fintech platform with a mission to bring the legal industry into the 21st century. We’re backed by some of the best venture investors in Europe ( Series B ) and we are scaling quickly on our next phase of growth.

Our mission is to make legal services work better for law firms and their clients. Since launching just over 4 years ago, we’re proud to partner with over 500 law firms, including 40 of the UK’s top 200, and some of their regulated clients as well.

The Legl team is agile, ambitious, and collaborative. We’re not an environment that suits everyone - we thrive on breaking down problems to their essence, understanding the customer, making decisions quickly, and the mindset that every day matters. For the right individuals, this is an opportunity to thrive, be rewarded, and work on exciting, impactful projects alongside talented, like-minded people, while learning and developing at a fast pace.

The Role

We are builders who take an AI first approach to engineering - we deliberately blur the lines between Engineering, Product, and Design in search for better impact. Put simply - our primary responsibility is to deliver meaningful product & business value quickly.

Senior Engineers at Legl are expected to own customer and business outcomes & ambiguous problem spaces end to end and across the full-stack, shaping problems collaboratively, making informed trade offs, and taking accountability for sustained customer and business outcomes over time.

Strong impact comes from challenging assumptions, grounding decisions in customer context and evidence, and helping teams focus effort on what matters most. Decisions are shaped early and collaboratively using evidence, rapid feedback, and customer context, then owned and executed independently with clear accountability for outcomes. You will drive product and business goals, shaping problems with product & design, grounding decisions in customer evidence and being accountable for results (rather than through- or out- puts).

AI is treated as a core part of the engineering toolkit, not as an experiment or productivity hack. We use AI deliberately to increase leverage, reduce repeated manual work, improve decision quality, and enable both engineers and cross functional colleagues to move faster safely, with strong judgement applied to all outputs.
