Engineering Manager

At Lexroom.ai, we set the bar for legal AI—clear, fast, and built for trust.

In just a few years, what began as an idea has become a reliable platform adopted by thousands of legal professionals across Europe.

Our mission is clear: make the law faster, clearer, and more reliable, giving lawyers, law firms, and companies the time and confidence to focus on what truly matters.

We're scaling rapidly, backed by top-tier investors and a world-class team dedicated to rigor, clarity, and impact.

Today, Lexroom is a trusted partner, shaping the future of legal AI with discipline and purpose.

Why Lexroom.ai?

• Shape the Standard: Be part of the team setting the benchmark for legal AI in Europe.

• Work with the Best: Collaborate with exceptional colleagues in a culture that values competence, curiosity, and ambition.

• Deliver Meaningful Results: Your work will directly influence how legal professionals operate—faster, clearer, and more efficiently.

At Lexroom.ai, we leave buzzwords behind. Here, you'll build something that lasts: a trusted platform, a strong reputation, a new standard for the legal world.

What You'll Do

You report to the Engineering Director (currently the CTO) and are the single point of accountability for people, delivery, and technical health within your team.

• Own your engineers' growth: hiring, coaching, performance reviews, retention

• Drive predictable delivery: squad formation, capacity planning, execution cadence

• Hold the technical bar: tech debt strategy, architectural coherence across squads, quality standards

• Set and enforce engineering standards: code review quality, CI/CD practices, testing, and operational discipline

• Foster a team culture where feedback flows freely and engineers take ownership

• Partner with the PM to shape priorities — including engineering-driven initiatives like tech debt, reliability, and platform improvements

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years in software engineering, with 2+ years managing engineers (EM, Team Lead with direct reports, or equivalent)

• Track record of growing engineers and building high-performing, psychologically safe teams

• Experience co-owning product decisions with PMs — not just executing a handed-down backlog

• Solid technical foundations (React + Python preferred) — you don't code daily, but you earn trust through technical credibility

• Experience in high-growth environments: hiring pipelines, org transitions, scaling from small to mid-size teams

• Fluent in Italian and English

How We Work

• Stack: React + TypeScript frontend, Python backend, Google Cloud (Cloud Run), Elasticsearch, Pinecone

• AI-assisted development: We actively use Claude Code, Cursor, and AI-powered workflows across the engineering org — you'll be expected to embrace and evolve these practices with your team

• Ship weekly: Weekly release cycle with Thursday deploys, code freeze on Wednesday

• Squad model: Temporary, focused squads (2-3 devs) that form around a project and dissolve after delivery — you own squad formation and composition

• Quality: ADR process for significant technical decisions, structured incident response, SLA/SLO discipline
