Software Engineer (Java/Linux)

Software Engineer Position

Join an innovative and fast-paced team-building software that allows litigation professionals to filter millions of documents down to those most important to their case using advanced techniques and artificial intelligence. From your seat in Downtown Chicago, you'll be developing technology that addresses complex challenges such as data visualization, machine learning, distributed systems, large databases, and large-scale data processing.

We code primarily in Java, React within a Linux environment. If you don't know it all, you won't be alone! We are seeking full-stack generalists that can bring experience and diverse knowledge to our team, rather than hyper-focused specialists. Our hiring staff is not focused on playing "technology experience bingo" but wants to find the best software engineers.

As far as the development process itself, we don't want to just check the boxes to be able to say that we have the most (or even the snazziest) features. Rather, we are thoughtful about our design and focused on ensuring that our clients can use software that is both useful and useable. You won't be buried in a dark corner – you'll have the opportunity to actively shape the software, while working as an integral part of a dynamic team of developers who are focused on writing great code, learning every day, and having a lot of fun.

If you think you'd be the right fit for our team, we'd love to hear from you.
