LEAP is a leading provider of Legal Practice Management Solutions, part of ATI, one of the largest international LegalTech companies. With over 30 years of history and more than 1,000 employees across Australia, Canada, the US, UK, Ireland, Poland, and New Zealand, LEAP serves over 71,000 lawyers and staff in small and medium-sized law firms.
You'll join one of LEAP's vertical teams—specialist divisions focused on building dedicated software solutions for specific areas of legal practice (criminal law, personal injury, employment law, wills & estates, etc.). These cross-functional teams include legal professionals, software engineers, designers, and client-focused specialists working closely together.
As a Software Engineer, you'll own greenfield projects end-to-end, from proof-of-concept through production. You won't maintain legacy systems; instead, you'll shape architecture decisions early and see your work reach real users quickly. Much of the current work sits at the intersection of legal expertise and AI, with potential to fundamentally change how law firms operate.
You'll collaborate with product owners and client operations to translate ideas into functional web applications. With support from LEAP Dev (the wider engineering organization), you'll have full responsibility for building and maintaining these applications.
Key responsibilities:
- Research and develop emerging trends, standards, and practices for frontend development
- Design, develop, and manage backend APIs and services
- Provide scalability for large volumes of data and users
- Implement secure customer authentication
- Evolve and improve development, deployment, and delivery processes
- Revise, update, refactor, and debug code
LEAP emphasizes flexible and hybrid working arrangements, career growth opportunities, well-being (additional paid wellbeing day, free gym membership, corporate dental, weekly massages), and a collaborative culture with regular celebrations, socials, and sports teams.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 3+ years of hands-on experience as a Full Stack Software Engineer
- Strong proficiency in frontend development using modern web technologies, particularly React
- Expertise in at least one modern server-side programming language
- Solid experience with database technologies
- In-depth understanding of software development methodologies, software architecture, and best practices
- Proficiency in Test Driven Development (TDD) and automated testing best practices
- Familiarity with cloud computing platforms like AWS and related tools
- Exposure to the full software development lifecycle (requirements analysis, UI/UX design, testing, CI/CD, release planning)
Note: LEAP encourages applications from candidates who meet some, but not all, requirements.
