Role

Who you are

Deep experience building and scaling web applications in Ruby on Rails, especially where data integrity is non-negotiable
A track record of leading projects end to end and documenting them— design docs, decision records, run-books — so the thinking outlives the moment
Genuine strength in mentorship, particularly growing earlier-career engineers by listening and asking, not only telling
Comfort in ambiguity and cross-functional rooms— you can build consensus, translate engineering for non-engineers (PM, Design, Legal, Finance, Support), and move alignment forward when no one clearly owns it
Clear written and verbal communication skills and the ability to build high-trust relationships with both technical and non-technical partners, and with customers
A track record of past projects — notable wins and lessons learned
You actively use AI to amplify your craft and are excited to push how far it goes

What the job involves

We're hiring a Senior Software Developer to join the team behind Clio's Calendar & Court Rules — the engine and experience that keeps lawyers on top of jurisdiction-specific court deadlines
We're a small, high-ownership team working across Clio Manage and a dedicated court-rules service, in a domain where correctness genuinely matters — court-rule calculations, deadline automation, jurisdiction management, and the billing and data-sync underneath them
We ship a lot, we review everything, and we partner closely with Product, Design, and Content. We move fast and lean heavily on AI to do it
Go deep on complex, correctness-critical problems — jurisdiction logic, deadline calculation, cross-system data sync, and the billing that depends on them
Lead a project end to end: shape the design, write it down so others can follow the reasoning, and drive it across every team it touches
Mentor a team of fast-rising engineers— through code review, pairing, and design discussion — with the kind of feedback that grows people toward senior. Great mentoring here looks like drawing people out, not just handing them the answer
Represent the team in cross-Clio technical discussions— architecture, standards, and the ambiguous cross-team problems that don't have an obvious owner
Help us move fast sustainably— amplifying your output with AI while bringing enough structure that speed never costs clarity

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.
