Senior Software Developer — Calendar & Court Rules

Overview

Clio is the global leader in legal AI technology, empowering legal professionals and law firms of every size to work smarter, faster, and more securely. We are transforming the legal experience by improving the lives of legal professionals while increasing access to justice. We are hiring a Senior Software Developer to join the team behind Clio's Calendar & Court Rules — the engine and experience that keeps lawyers on top of jurisdiction-specific court deadlines.

This role will require a presence in the hub office twice a week.

• Work on complex, correctness-critical problems—jurisdiction logic, deadline calculation, cross-system data sync, and related billing that depends on them.
• Lead a project end to end: shape the design, document the reasoning, and drive it across every team it touches.
• Mentor a team of engineers through code review, pairing, and design discussions to help grow them toward senior roles.
• Represent the team in cross-Clio technical discussions—architecture, standards, and cross-team problems with unclear ownership.
• Help the organization move fast sustainably by leveraging AI to amplify output while maintaining clarity and structure.

• Deep experience building and scaling web applications in Ruby on Rails, with non-negotiable data integrity.
• Track record of leading projects end to end and documenting them (design docs, decision records, run-books).
• Strong mentorship skills, especially in developing earlier-career engineers through listening and guiding, not just directing.
• Comfort with ambiguity and cross-functional collaboration; ability to build consensus and translate engineering concepts for non-engineers (PM, Design, Legal, Finance, Support).
• Excellent written and verbal communication, and ability to build high-trust relationships with technical and non-technical partners and customers.
• History of successful projects with notable wins and lessons learned; active use of AI to enhance craft.
• This role is a backfill for an existing position.

Compensation is a key component of Clio’s Total Rewards program. Highlights include:

• Competitive, equitable salary with comprehensive health benefits (medical, dental, vision).
• Hybrid work environment with expectation to be in office twice per week for local Clions in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Dublin, London, New York City, and Sydney.
• Flexible time off policy with an encouraged 20 days off per year.
• $2000 annual counseling benefit; RRSP matching and RESP contribution.
• Clioversary recognition program at 3, 5, 7, and 10 years.

The expected salary range for this role is CAD $144,700 to $195,900, with regional adjustments based on location and experience. Final offer depends on region, experience, and skillset.

We are committed to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. We encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply. Clio provides accessibility accommodations during recruitment. Please let us know your needs.
