IT Engineering Lead

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.

2,100+ customers across 80+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to $200M+ in ARR, with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI, Graceview, Cadastral, and Wexler.

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.

Stockholm | Full-time | Onsite, five days a week

The Role

We’re looking for an IT Engineering Lead to guide our Stockholm engineers’ work across identity, devices, and core SaaS platforms.

Your manager sets the technical direction for IT Engineering. You’ll review designs with the team and work alongside engineers on difficult problems. Your job is to make our internal systems reliable, secure, and easier to operate as Legora grows.

You’ll partner with Workplace Technology on the employee experience, Security on technical controls, and business systems owners on integrations and shared infrastructure.

What You'll Own

• Engineering delivery. Plan the Stockholm team’s work against the IT Engineering roadmap. Coordinate dependencies with other teams and bring proposed changes in scope or priority to your manager.

• Identity and access infrastructure. Own the engineering behind authentication, provisioning, device trust, and access lifecycle automation. Make onboarding, role changes, and offboarding dependable, with clear approval boundaries and auditable outcomes.

• Endpoint engineering. Build and operate device management, configuration, software deployment, patching, and compliance capabilities. Know which devices are covered, where controls fail, and how to recover safely.

• Core SaaS platforms and integrations. Apply the team’s technical standards to administration, configuration, integration, and recovery. Work with business systems owners to define responsibility and reduce fragile dependencies.

• Automation and internal tooling. Replace recurring manual work with maintained services and workflows. Use APIs, version control, testing, and configuration as code where they improve reliability. Apply AI where it produces measurable benefits with appropriate access controls and human oversight.

• Operational reliability. Establish useful monitoring, service ownership, incident response, and change practices. Investigate recurring failures and verify that fixes improve the employee experience.

• Team leadership. Guide the day-to-day work of the IT engineers in Stockholm. Help them set priorities, coach them through escalations, and review technical decisions together. Over time, you’ll hire additional engineers as the Stockholm team grows.

What You'll Bring

• Experience leading IT engineering, corporate engineering, or a comparable internal platform team through significant growth.

• Strong technical depth across identity, endpoint management, and SaaS administration, with the judgment to bring in specialists where needed. You’ve built SSO integrations in Okta and managed a macOS fleet with MDM.

• A record of delivering automation and integrations that remain reliable after launch.

• Practical software engineering skills, including scripting or programming, APIs, version control, code review, and testing.

• Experience operating services through incidents, migrations, and changes where employee productivity and security matter.

• The ability to translate security requirements into effective technical controls and demonstrate that those controls work.

• Experience coaching engineers and guiding their technical work while continuing to build and operate systems yourself.

• Clear communication and sound prioritization. You can explain a tradeoff, name an owner, and define what success looks like.

What Success Looks Like

Employees have dependable access to the tools they need. Devices are managed consistently, with visible exceptions and accountable owners. Routine lifecycle changes happen accurately with less manual intervention.

The team spends less time resolving repeat failures and more time improving the underlying systems. Major changes have tested recovery paths, and service performance is measured through actual employee outcomes.

Stockholm’s IT engineers know which systems they own, what to tackle next, and when to bring you into a difficult decision.
