What the job involves

  • We are currently seeking a Software Development Manager to join our Documents team

You'll own the team's rituals, performance evaluations, talent development, and drive changes to our processes as needed. This is a technical, hands-on role, and while you won't spend all your time in the code, you'll be expected to understand it inside-out and be the subject-matter expert in your product area
  • Collaborating with your triad to: understand the challenges our business faces, identify the most impactful opportunities, and craft a roadmap for the team
  • Working with your team on preparing an architecture document for an upcoming project

  • Giving great feedback on code reviews, architecture documents, and more to help support team members making great technical decisions for their projects
  • Having a 1:1 meeting with your direct reports to make sure they are supported in their career growth and development goals
  • Reviewing code contributed by members from your team or other Clio developers reaching out to you for your experience with a given technology or pattern
  • Working with other developers to build and maintain scalable and reliable software system

Our take

Modern law firms increasingly manage their work digitally but the lack of a specialised remote solution means that workflows have become fragmented. This leads to legal practice managers having to juggle multiple software solutions across various devices.

Clio provides a legal practice management platform designed for law firms, allowing users to manage billing for legal aid cases, access and manage documents and store files across multiple devices. Whilst other startups are operating in this niche, Clio has uniquely focussed on synchronisation across remote devices and on a wide range of integrations, allowing the user to access information from other industry standard software such as Xero and Klyant from within a single interface.

Clio has raised a large amount of investment capital, most recently in a 2021 Series E round which saw the company attain unicorn status with a valuation exceeding $1 billion. This funding is being used to accelerate its product development, hire additional talent, and for expansion into new markets with a focus on the EMEA region, particularly the UK and Ireland.
