Senior Software Developer — Calendar & Court Rules

Senior Software Developer — Calendar & Court Rules

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’re 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.

What your team does:

We’re a small, high-ownership team working across Clio Manage and a dedicated court-rules service, in a domain where correctness genuinely matters — court-rule calculations, deadline automation, jurisdiction management, and the billing and data-sync underneath them. We ship a lot, we review everything, and we partner closely with Product, Design, and Content. We move fast and lean heavily on AI to do it.

A day in the life might look like:

• Go deep on complex, correctness-critical problems — jurisdiction logic, deadline calculation, cross-system data sync, and the billing that depends on them.
• Lead a project end to end: shape the design, write it down so others can follow the reasoning, and drive it across every team it touches.
• Mentor a team of fast-rising engineers— through code review, pairing, and design discussion — with the kind of feedback that grows people toward senior. Great mentoring here looks like drawing people out, not just handing them the answer.
• Represent the team in cross-Clio technical discussions— architecture, standards, and the ambiguous cross-team problems that don’t have an obvious owner.
• Help us move fast sustainably— amplifying your output with AI while bringing enough structure that speed never costs clarity.

• Deep experience building and scaling web applications in Ruby on Rails, especially where data integrity is non-negotiable.
• A track record of leading projects end to end and documenting them— design docs, decision records, run-books — so the thinking outlives the moment.
• Genuine strength in mentorship, particularly growing earlier-career engineers by listening and asking, not only telling.
• Comfort in ambiguity and cross-functional rooms— you can build consensus, translate engineering for non-engineers (PM, Design, Legal, Finance, Support), and move alignment forward when no one clearly owns it.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills and the ability to build high-trust relationships with both technical and non-technical partners, and with customers.
• A track record of past projects — notable wins and lessons learned.
• You actively use AI to amplify your craft and are excited to push how far it goes.
