- Excellent communication and documentation abilities in English
What the job involves
- Clio is seeking a Content Developer Engineer in JavaScript to help build and maintain reliable data-collection pipelines that gather information from the public web and partner sources
- This role is essential to growing the company’s legal-content moat by ensuring acquisition systems are accurate, scalable, up to date, and resilient to change
- In this role, you will design and operate crawlers and scrapers, handling diverse content types—including HTML, JSON, XML, PDFs, and images—to transform extracted data into structured formats used downstream by our systems
- You will collaborate closely with engineering and product stakeholders to deliver high-quality content pipelines that power Clio’s research features
- Build, maintain, and improve web crawlers and scrapers using modern Node.js tooling such as Puppeteer and Playwright
- Implement robust scraping strategies for both static and dynamic websites, utilizing browser automation where required
- Work confidently with HTTP and FTP protocols, handling requests/responses, authentication, headers, caching, and rate limiting
- Ensure content pipelines are resilient by implementing structured error handling, retries, and schema validation
- Parse and transform inputs from multiple formats, including HTML/XHTML, XML, JSON, PDFs, Word documents, and images
- Convert extracted content into pre-defined schemas with consistent validation to ensure data integrity for downstream systems
- Work with various data storage systems, including both relational and NoSQL databases, to manage acquired datasets
- Write unit and integration tests for crawlers and parsers to maintain quality standards and ensure deterministic runs
- Produce clear technical documentation, including setup instructions, runbooks, and troubleshooting guides for edge cases
- Contribute to peer code reviews and maintain test fixtures to make systems easier to operate and extend
- Partner with engineering and product leads to clarify requirements, share progress, and raise risks early in the development cycle
- Use project management tools like DevOps or Linear to plan, track, and communicate work effectively
- Demonstrate the ability to work autonomously and turn high-level requirements into executable tasks
Our take
Modern law firms increasingly manage their work digitally but the lack of a specialized 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 significant funding and benefited from the COVID-era shift toward cloud technologies. More recently, the company has experienced rapid growth following the integration of AI into its platform in 2023. Alongside this, it surpassed $200M in annual recurring revenue (ARR) in mid-2024 and has since grown to an impressive $500M ARR. The company was valued at $5B following a $500M funding round in 2025, with the investment supporting further AI development and platform expansion.
