What You'll Do

Backend engineering at Legal Hero means full ownership. You'll design and run services in our Kotlin/Java stack with Micronaut on AWS, wire LLM capabilities reliably into product flows, harden production systems, and actively shape our testing, deployment, and observability practice — together with a team that takes the craft seriously.

• Design and own scalable backend services from first commit to production — APIs, data models, versioning, SLOs, and on-call included
• Build and evolve high-performance, secure infrastructure that handles real load — not just greenfield, but messy reality
• Wire LLM-powered capabilities reliably into product flows: suggestion APIs, RAG-backed endpoints, agent tool calls — you make AI actually land in production
• Work closely with frontend, product, and AI teams — your APIs are their foundation, so you design them to last
• Make the hard tradeoffs: schema migrations, breaking changes, dependen...
