Legal Engineer Associate

Legora
Chicago, IL Full Time
POSTED ON 6/28/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 8/13/2026
About Us

Legora is redefining how legal work gets done. Not built for lawyers, built with them. We work alongside the world’s best legal teams, who expect excellence, precision, and speed, and we hold ourselves to the same bar.

Our AI-native workspace lets legal professionals move faster, think more clearly, and operate with sharper precision. By analysing thousands of documents in minutes and powering end-to-end workflows, we cut through complexity, teams can focus on what matters: judgment, strategy, and outcomes.

1,000 customers across 50 countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to $100M in ARR, with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI and Graceview.

We partner with world-class performers: including Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees, Ludvig Åberg (and his caddie), and campaigns featuring Jude Law.

Joining Legora means three things.

  • We lean in: ownership over titles, outcomes over intentions.
  • We fight for excellence: high standards, direct, ego-free feedback.
  • We grow together: as a team and with our customers.

Mission before ego. Everyone contributes. No one coasts.

If you’re driven by impact, pace, and raising the bar. This is the place.

The Role

This is a unique opportunity to sit at the intersection of law, technology, and product. You’ll gain hands on experience in how cutting edge AI is transforming the legal industry, while contributing directly to the development, testing, and adoption of our platform.

You’ll work closely with our Legal Engineers, Customer Success, and Product teams to:

  • Support client facing pilots, onboarding, and training, helping legal teams get the most out of Legora.
  • Design and evaluate use cases that showcase our AI on real legal tasks like contract review, research, and drafting.
  • Capture insights from users and translate them into clear, actionable feedback for product improvements.
  • Document best practices and contribute to internal playbooks for how legal AI can be deployed at scale.

What You Bring

  • Exposure to and Interest in Law: Completed J.D. preferred; some legal or legal innovation work experience (e.g., paralegal, clerk, etc.) required.
  • Level of Experience: 0-2 years (Trainee/paralegal)
  • Tech curious: Not necessarily a coder, but eager to engage with AI, product features, and workflow automation. Someone who is not afraid to experiment with prompt engineering.
  • Strong communicator: Able to translate between lawyers and technologists clearly and confidently.
  • Analytical and detail-oriented: Capable of evaluating outputs and spotting where AI meets or misses the mark.
  • Adaptable and proactive: Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment, bringing structure to ambiguity.

What’s In It For You

  • Global collaboration: Partner with teams and clients across Europe, APAC, and North America.
  • Competitive package: Comprehensive salary, benefits, and tools for success.
  • Meaningful work: Your efforts shape how thousands of lawyers use AI daily.
  • In-person environment: Chicago office designed for ambitious builders and company provided lunch daily.
  • Benefits & Perks: We invest in our people with a comprehensive, thoughtfully designed benefits package: Medical, Dental & Vision
    • Multiple medical plan options through Aetna and Kaiser Permanente
    • HSA or Healthcare FSA (based on plan selection)
    • Dental plans via MetLife
    • Vision plans via Vision Care
Family Support

  • Generous parental leave
  • Free access to Maven Clinic
  • Dependent Care FSA

Additional Perks
