Clio is more than just a tech company–we are a global leader that is transforming the legal experience for all by bettering the lives of legal professionals while increasing access to justice.

Summary:

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 our engineers to build the best product they can, our development team has to build the best possible product that is performant, reliable, scalable, and beautiful.

In our Legal Aid team, you can expect to make a massive impact on people in need, as we build features and advocate for the needs of pro-bono law firms who provide access to justice for those who need legal help, but may not have the means to pay for it. You would be collaborating significantly across many technical and non-technical functions, exploring various tools and codebases, and touching on multiple core products so we can better support these pro-bono law firms to do what they do best.

What you'll work on:

  • Working 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;

  • Using a wide variety of technologies, learning new things, and challenging yourself;

  • Participating in diverse projects and collaborating with multiple engineering teams across three countries;

  • Reviewing and providing feedback on a peer's code, both from within your own team or across all of Clio;

  • Collaborating with teams across Clio to diagnose, understand, and solve problems, and to build solutions that may span many areas;

  • Teaching and learning from those around you - providing constructive feedback to those around you, and taking on feedback to grow.

What you may have:

  • Experience in software development, specifically with building web applications at scale and Ruby on Rails;

  • The ability to pick up 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;

  • A diverse base of knowledge that allows you to help your team solve complex technical problems;

  • A history of successful projects (as well as a collection of lessons learned from failed projects); and

  • Clear communication skills and the ability to build trusted relationships with fellow Clions and customers.

Don’t have all of those?

The most important part of this job is that you approach new challenges with curiosity and a drive to apply what you learn to fixing root causes, not just symptoms. Deep curiosity and a desire to learn will help you succeed in this job, combined with a drive to help others by shipping code. We have cross-trained developers coming from Python, C#, and JavaScript backgrounds, and are happy to help you learn Ruby when you get here.
