Company mission
To use AI to automate a time-intensive process of writing and analysing legal contracts, saving legal teams time and enabling deals to be closed faster.
Role
Who you are
- Strong backend experience with Ruby on Rails building reliable, scalable production systems
- Proficient frontend development with React and TypeScript. You deliver features across the stack and create experiences that users and internal teams depend on
- Understanding of distributed systems fundamentals: message queues (RabbitMQ, Kafka, SQS), async processing, idempotency, eventual consistency patterns
- Production deployment experience with cloud infrastructure (Lambda, RDS, SQS, S3) and operational comfort with AWS services
- Database proficiency with PostgreSQL: designing schemas, writing performant queries, working within multi-tenant architectures
- Experience building APIs that other engineers consume, with attention to versioning strategy, error semantics, and usability
- Knowledge of system connectivity: OAuth2 implementations, webhook reliability, polling strategies, credential management across heterogeneous systems. Prior work at platform-focused companies is valuable
- Track record of shipping complete features from initial design through production deployment, maintaining ownership throughout
- You improve team capabilities through thoughtful code review, knowledge sharing, and creating opportunities for others to develop new skills
- You make sound technical decisions when requirements are incomplete or changing
- You use AI development tools regularly (Cursor, Copilot, Claude) to enhance productivity. You experiment with emerging capabilities and integrate them into your workflow
Desirable
- Prior experience building platform infrastructure or workflow automation products
- Deep understanding of enterprise SaaS systems (Salesforce, HubSpot, NetSuite) and their API characteristics
- Operational experience debugging production distributed systems
- Exposure to CDC (Change Data Capture) or event sourcing patterns
What the job involves
- We're seeking an experienced Full-Stack Software Engineer who can build core platform infrastructure that powers our product capabilities
- Design and develop platform infrastructure: event-driven systems, platform APIs, authentication services, job execution engines
- Lead technical decision-making on API design, distributed systems patterns, and architecture trade-offs
- Build full-stack capabilities across backend services and frontend interfaces
- Collaborate across Product, Sales, Tech Services, and Engineering teams to understand requirements and deliver solutions
- Own feature delivery from conception through production deployment
- Debug and resolve complex distributed systems issues: OAuth flows, webhook failures, message queue problems, third-party API connectivity
- Establish technical standards and best practices through code review, documentation, and team guidance
- Improve development workflows: CI/CD pipelines, testing strategies, and observability infrastructure
- Mentor team members on platform thinking, distributed systems design, and full-stack development approaches
Our take
Legal teams for large companies often lack the same sophisticated business intelligence and analytics tools that are common in finance and sales departments, relying instead on manual processes and spreadsheets. As such, nearly a third of legal departments around the world are increasing spending on technology.
LinkSquares is a company that may benefit from this increased spending, with its contract management and analytics tool for legal teams. The platform reads, analyzes, and extracts structured data from contracts, which allows legal teams to uncover insights and close deals quicker. LinkSquares has processed millions of documents for 700 companies, including brands like Fitbit, Wayfair, Twilio, Cogito, and TGI Fridays.
The company is far from alone in a growing contract creation and management tool market, with rivals including DocuSign, Concord, Icertis, and Evisort. However, LinkSquares has enjoyed rapid growth and is nearing unicorn status and keeps pace with industry trends, in 2024 announcing a Generative AI strategy which will be implemented across its entire product suite.
