Job Description
Aderant is a global industry leading software company providing comprehensive business management solutions for law firms and other professional services organizations with a mission to help them run a better business. We are motivated by a collective desire to drive the legal industry to the forefront of innovation. With over 2,500 clients around the world, including 95 of the top AmLaw 100 firms, we are changing the outside perception of the legal sphere; where there was once resistance to modernization, we are creating a culture that embraces new ideas and technology. At Aderant, the “A” is more than just a letter. It is a representation of how we fulfill our foundational purpose, serving our clients. It embodies our core values and reminds us that to achieve success, every day must start with the “A”. We bring the “A” to life by fostering a culture of innovation, collaboration, and personal growth. We encourage our diverse teams to bring their whole selves to work – ideas, experience, and passion – to drive our mission forward. Our people are our strength. We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer who not only writes excellent code but also mentors others, drives technical decisions, and influences architecture across the team. This individual will act as a technical leader on the team, setting standards for code quality, system design, and engineering practices, while remaining deeply hands-on. You will have a deep understanding of the software development lifecycle — from architecture and development to testing and deployment — and will design, build, and maintain efficient, reusable, and reliable code with a focus on modern web technologies, cloud-native architecture, and the practical use of AI tools to enhance engineering productivity across the team. This role requires hands-on experience with cloud services (AWS), API development, and full-stack application development using languages like TypeScript, NestJS (Node) and familiarity with Go. You'll play a key part in agile teams — leading architecture design sessions, proofs of concept, and technical demonstrations, and partnering with product and engineering leadership on technical strategy.
