The Role
This role is all about building the next evolution of Lawhive’s platform - making a difference to our customers and propelling Lawhive to the next step-change in growth.
On a daily basis you’ll be working alongside designers, product managers, AI researchers, and the wider engineering group. As an engineer, you’ll be responsible for the inception of software in design and development phase, all the way through to testing, release, and running in production.
A day at Lawhive as an engineer might look something like:
- 9:30am: Team updates in standup
- 10am: Join a “Lawyer walkthrough” to learn more about how one of our marketplace lawyers use the product
- 11am: Review a “tech proposal” suggesting changes to one of our key services
- 11:30-5pm: Time for some heads down engineering time! Our core platform is a TypeScript based monorepo
- 4pm-5pm: Join our fortnightly engineering meeting to hear about other team’s updates, share what your team has been working on, and listen to a deep-dive talk
Our tech stack and day to day tools are:
- TypeScript for the majority of our applications, frontends, and microservices
- Python for data ingestion and our AI services
- AWS for our cloud infrastructure
- Postgres for our data storage
- Terraform for defining infrastructure as code
What you'll bring
You’ll be a great fit for our engineering hive if:
- You have strong experience working with TypeScript to build products, in design/product-led cross-functional teams
- You have experience working with infrastructure as code
- You have experience running services in production and responding to incidents
- You are comfortable dealing with ambiguity, and you thrive when given the ownership to bring clarity to what we’re building
- You have a product focus and are excited by the idea of learning more about our customers and shaping your work to make our product better for them
- You consider yourself an expert in one area of software engineering and are excited by the idea of sharing that expertise with the rest of the team
