About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • You've found your footing. You can build features end-to-end with timely guidance, you're starting to see how the bigger systems fit together, and you're getting a feel for which technical choices will hold up. That's the moment we want you in. You'll join a squad doing real engineering on a platform that legal teams across the world rely on, and the AI shift in software is something you'll be living and shaping, not just reading about.
  • You can grow toward Senior and beyond. Internal progression is the default at Opus 2, and we hire externally only when there's no internal alternative.
  • What you'll do
  • - **Deliver well-scoped features end-to-end.** Small to mid-size pieces of work with timely guidance. You break down tasks, ship in slices, and see them land for users.
  • - **Partner with Product and Design.** Translate intent into pragmatic, well-scoped technical work. Ask the questions that surface tradeoffs early.
  • - **Pull others up while you grow.** Help juniors. Review their code well. The mentoring habit starts here, not at senior.
  • - **Use AI tools well across the SDLC.** Daily workflow, exploration, knowledge-sharing. Bring back what you find to the team.
  • - **Improve the system.** Documentation that was missing, a flaky test, observability you wish you'd had. You leave things better than you found them.

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • How we workOpus 2 builds the platform that leading legal teams use to run their most complex work: a distributed, multi-tenant SaaS platform with API-first surfaces, where security, privacy, and compliance are first-class concerns. The stakes for our customers are real, so we care about quality. We also move fast and ship, because the alternative is irrelevance.
  • - **Strong ownership.** Squads own their products end-to-end, from the customer outcome through to operating them in production.
  • - **Pragmatic engineering.** We favour simple, testable solutions over premature abstraction. We use data where it informs a real decision.
  • - **A learning and improvement culture.** We're building an engineering organisation that learns and adapts at the pace AI is forcing on the work. That's the bar for hiring, growth, and how we run the team.
  • - **Coaching as part of seniority.** Senior engineers help juniors, mid-levels, and each other grow. We protect that time on calendars.

  • - Investment in your growth: coaching, learning time, exposure to challenging problems, and a clear path to Senior when you're ready.

  • - Health Insurance.
