- A track record of deploying and maintaining production code at scale
- The ability to gain fluency in new technologies quickly and work effectively in an ever-evolving environment that includes distributed teams and customers
- Demonstrated success in mentorship in software development, particularly using an Agile process and with large-scale SaaS products

What the job involves
- We are currently seeking a Senior Software Developer to join our rapidly growing Engineering team
- This role is for someone who is passionate about building innovative solutions and being exposed to new challenges and technologies while making an impact
- This role is available to candidates across Canada, excluding Quebec
- If you are local to one of our hubs (Burnaby, Calgary, or Toronto) you will be expected to be in office minimum twice per week on one of our Anchor Days
- We at Clio have an amazing team that is on a mission to transform the legal experience for all, and our engineering team's goal is to deliver an incredible experience to our customers
- To enable that experience, our development team strives to optimize our efforts on performance, reliability, scalability, and a beautiful and intuitive interface
- We're a brand-new team building the Voice & Messaging pillar of Clio's Unified Communications initiative — bringing voice, messaging, and email into a single, consistent experience across the Clio product suite
- Designed from the ground up to plug into Clio Manage, Grow, and the rest of the Clio ecosystem, this is greenfield work where you'll have a real say in shaping the architecture: a serverless, event-driven backend on AWS (Node
- Js, Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB) paired with real-time call infrastructure built on WebRTC, SIP, and LiveKit
- We work at the intersection of real-time communications, regulatory compliance (call detail record retention, data residency, encryption), and tight practice management integration — what we build is mission-critical infrastructure for law firms around the world
- Work with a team of developers to solve complex problems and provide elegant solutions to Clio customers
- Work in an agile environment with our team of full stack developers across a variety of projects
- Learn new things, challenge yourself, and hone your craft as a Node.js and serverless expert
- Participate in diverse projects and collaborate with multiple engineering teams across Canada, the United States, and Ireland
- Review and provide feedback on code, both from within your own team or across all of Clio
- Collaborate with teams across Clio to diagnose, understand, and solve problems, and to build solutions that may span many areas
- Teach and learn from those around you — providing constructive feedback, and taking on feedback to help grow
- This is for an existing role
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.
