Job description

Join our Legal Technology Third Party Application team as a System Development Engineer and help transform how our Legal department manages critical business data. You'll lead the modernization of our technology infrastructure by designing and implementing automation solutions that eliminate manual, repetitive tasks-reducing operational burden while enabling our legal teams to focus on high-value work. Working with a collaborative team of six engineers, you'll balance strategic automation initiatives with operational excellence, leveraging your expertise in systems development, API integration, and cloud infrastructure to drive meaningful impact across our organization.
Key job responsibilities
- Lead and contribute to strategic initiatives around AI/ML automation, integration, and knowledge management, establishing new capabilities and best practices for the team
- Design and implement automation solutions that integrate with third-party tools via APIs, reducing manual effort for Legal department customers and improving data accuracy and timeliness
- Lead the modernization and migration of on-premises services to cloud-based infrastructure on AWS, ensuring reliability, security, and operational efficiency
- Write, maintain, and enhance code for operational improvements including automated security updates, data synchronization, and system monitoring
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand customer needs, identify automation opportunities, and translate requirements into technical solutions
A day in the life
As a System Development Engineer on our team, you'll split your time between strategic automation projects and operational excellence

You might start your day reviewing a request from our Legal customers about streamlining data synchronization between our internal systems and external platforms-then design an API-based solution to automate what's currently a manual process. Later, you could be collaborating with your teammates to plan the migration of an on-premises service to AWS, ensuring minimal disruption while improving reliability and reducing maintenance overhead.
You'll also contribute to our team's evolution from interrupt-driven operations to more strategic work. This might include implementing automated security updates to reduce manual patching efforts, enhancing our internal infrastructure, or exploring how AI and machine learning can further streamline legal technology workflows

Your work directly impacts how efficiently our Legal department operates, and you'll have the autonomy to identify opportunities where automation can create the most value.
About the team
We are a small, agile team of six engineers embedded within a larger software engineering organization, dedicated to supporting the Legal department's technology needs. Our mission is to manage and optimize third-party tools-including Anaqua, GEMS, SharePoint, and iManage-while modernizing our infrastructure and embracing new automation capabilities.
Our team is transitioning from a primarily operational, interrupt-driven model to a more balanced approach that combines operational excellence with strategic innovation. We've successfully addressed legacy challenges like manual server patching and gaps in monitoring, which has freed us to focus on higher-impact work

Today, our efforts are roughly 25-50% operational with the remainder dedicated to building new automation solutions and knowledge management capabilities.
We're excited about the future direction of our work, particularly around AI and machine learning integration, LLM-based automation, and Model Context Protocol initiatives. As a System Development Engineer joining our team, you'll help shape how we approach these emerging technologies while mentoring your colleagues and establishing best practices for sustainable, scalable solutions. You'll work closely with Legal customers to understand their pain points and translate those insights into efficient, reliable automation that makes their work easier.
