About Us

This position is a direct opportunity with a leading UK company.

The Company builds B2B legal technology that helps law firms deliver faster, higher-quality work. The Company’s platform streamlines legal workflows involved in a niche area of law so lawyers can accelerate drafting, negotiation, and compliance at scale.

Tech highlights - we operate a single-tenant SaaS architecture hosted on AWS across multiple regions, built with a modern stack: Python/Django 6, React 18/TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Redis, Elasticsearch/ OpenSearch, S3, ECS, and Lambda.

Our teams work in Agile Scrum squads, supported by strong CI/CD, IaC (Terraform/Terragrunt), and security-first practices (SOPS, KMS). It’s only a web application, no mobile.

About Team

At the moment, our team consists of Developers, Manual QAs, Automation QAs, Project Managers, UI/UX Designers, DevOps Engineers, etc.

We value:

• Speaking up (good ideas are welcome)
• Growth (we’ll help you get there)
• Learning & innovation (we like experiments that don’t break Prod)
