Role
Who you are
- Everlaw is looking for Software Engineers ranging from early career folks to those with years of prior experience -- the common denominator we're interested in are strong CS fundamentals, humility, and interest in expanding their skills in new directions
- We care about finding self-driven engineers that love their craft, write clean software, use the right tools for the job, and avoid dogma
- However, if you have specialized skills you would like to leverage, we welcome that as well
- If you’re looking for a place that values passion, integrity, thinking big, and a desire to learn, we’d love to hear from you
- You have a BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Data Science, Computer Information Systems or equivalent coursework
- You are authorized to work in the United States without restrictions. Please note that at this time, Everlaw is not sponsoring F-1 visas, including OPT, for this role
- You have good knowledge of algorithms and fundamental computer science concepts
- You have experience and proficiency in coding in a dominant language such as C++, Java, Python, or Javascript
- You have some experience building small software projects as part of class assignments or summer internships
- You have full-time experience working as a Software Engineer
- Everlaw requires all of its employees to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19, unless a medical or religious exemption applies. If you are hired, we will require you to prove that you have received the COVID-19 vaccine, unless you have received a medical or religious exemption
What the job involves
- Tackling litigation with technology is a deep challenge that requires search, databases, data visualization, distributed systems, machine learning, real-time collaboration, nifty user interfaces, and more
- We will encourage you to explore our entire system and work with significant autonomy across the stack
- Choose from a wide variety of features options, owning them from inception to release as the sole contributor
- Features that represent the core of our ediscovery platform, such as Document Upload, Organization, Search, Filtering, Review (assignments, redactions, coding), and Export
- Features related to Infrastructure for our platform which is served from AWS and uses MySQL/Postgres for relational storage, Java based Jetty web server using Spring framework for business logic, React and Dojo frameworks for frontend UI using Typescript, and Terraform and Ansible to manage deployments
- Collaborate with one or more of the Product, Design, Engineering Operations, Security Engineering, and DevOps teams to build out and implement new features that are used in our production environments
- Fix defects in our product by triaging product or system issues and writing code to debug and resolve these issues
- Providing on-call support for the product by answering questions from customers, and triaging defects and exceptions
- Contribute to documentation for internal engineering consumption
- Become product certified! You will learn the ins and outs of the Everlaw platform through a series of training modules
Our take
Everlaw builds technology to help corporations, law firms and government entities solve the toughest problems in the legal industry. The company's platform includes features to help speed up legal work, freeing up time to be spent on more value-add activities. Everlaw’s clients include most of the top 10 class action firms in the US and it is also used by state attorney generals in every state in the US.
Law is a big industry where a lot of money is spent, but it has been largely untouched by technology until recently, leaving a big opportunity. Testament to this, the company was able to expand to Australia and New Zealand following a partnership with Australian e-discovery provider Adio. It continues to deliver new features such as "AI Deep Dive" which lets legal teams uncover and verify key evidence from documents.
The company is also pursuing growth for its Everlaw for Good Program, seen at the 2024 Equal Justice Conference in Detroit. That year, it appointed its first program director as it works to dismantle barriers to justice for low-income Americans and marginalised communities in need of legal representation. It now has over 225 participating organizations.
