Legal Engineer, Tax & Audit
Legora · Paris, Île-de-France
ABOUT US
Legora is redefining how legal work gets done. Not built for lawyers, built with them. We work alongside the world’s best legal teams, who expect excellence, precision, and speed, and we hold ourselves to the same bar.
Our AI-native workspace lets legal professionals move faster, think more clearly, and operate with sharper precision. By analysing thousands of documents in minutes and powering end-to-end workflows, we cut through complexity, teams can focus on what matters: judgment, strategy, and outcomes.
2,100+ customers across 80+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to $200M+ in ARR, with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI, Graceview, Cadastral, and Wexler.
We partner with world-class performers: including Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees, Ludvig Åberg (and his caddie), and campaigns featuring Jude Law.
Joining Legora means three things.
- We lean in: ownership over titles, outcomes over intentions.
- We fight for excellence: high standards, direct, ego-free feedback.
- We grow together: as a team and with our customers.
Mission before ego. Everyone contributes. No one coasts.
If you’re driven by impact, pace, and raising the bar. This is the place.
WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING
Let’s get the tricky part out of the way: this role doesn’t fit neatly into a traditional box. It combines tax or audit expertise, product knowledge, client relationships and practical implementation.
As a Legal Engineer in our Paris team, you’ll help tax and audit professionals put AI to work in their day-to-day practice. You’ll work with clients from the first demonstration through pilots, onboarding and wider adoption, understanding what they need and building workflows that hold up in real engagements.
Some of what you’ll be doing:
- Understand the work. Work with tax partners, audit leaders and their teams to identify where Legora can make a meaningful difference, from tax research and advisory to evidence review and audit documentation.
- Build and test workflows. Translate client needs into working use cases, check outputs against source material and professional standards, and refine the approach with the people using it.
- Run demonstrations and training. Lead clear, practical sessions grounded in the client’s own work, adapting your approach for practitioners, partners and innovation teams.
- Own pilots and rollouts. Agree what success looks like, keep stakeholders and timelines aligned, and help teams move from initial experimentation to regular use.
- Support commercial conversations. Work alongside Go-to-Market and Customer Success colleagues to demonstrate value, address objections and identify opportunities to expand adoption across teams and service lines.
- Help improve the product. Bring client needs and product gaps back to Product and Engineering with clear examples and enough evidence to act on.
- Make good work reusable. Turn successful engagements into templates, guides and playbooks that colleagues and clients can use again.
WHAT YOU BRING
You come from tax, audit, assurance or a closely related advisory practice. You may have trained at a Big Four firm, worked at another professional services firm, or built your experience in an in-house function. Perhaps you’ve already moved into innovation, technology implementation or consulting.
You understand the pressure of client deadlines, the importance of defensible conclusions and how much work sits behind a finished report or piece of advice. You also have ideas about how that work could be done better.
You’ll thrive in this role if you:
- Have practical experience in tax or audit and can discuss the work credibly with experienced practitioners. You don’t need to be a specialist in both.
- Are genuinely curious about generative AI and enjoy learning new tools. You don’t need to be a software engineer or have held a Legal Engineering role before.
- Communicate clearly, whether you’re explaining a technical concept, leading a workshop or handling a difficult question from a partner.
- Can organize a engagement, keep commitments, and flag problems early
- Understand the commercial realities of professional services, including engagement economics, client expectations and the balance between speed and quality.
- Take initiative, respond well to feedback and learn quickly when faced with an unfamiliar problem.
- Communicate fluently in French and English.
- Are based in Paris, or willing to relocate, and able to work from the office five days per week.
A FEW MORE THINGS
You’ll join a growing Tax & Audit team with room to shape how we work. There is real autonomy and responsibility, alongside colleagues who will challenge your thinking and help you develop.
We’re hiring across seniority levels. Whether you’re earlier in your career or bring substantial experience, we’d like to hear from you. Your title and scope will reflect your experience and what you demonstrate during the hiring process.
If you know tax or audit and want to help build how technology is used in the profession, we’d like to meet you.
