About Us

At Ruffle, we build tools to help lawyers conduct financial detective work, so that they can get the best results for their clients.

Instead of a lawyer manually reviewing hundreds or thousands of bank statements with a highlighter, Ruffle extracts transactions from bank statements and allows lawyers to filter, sort, search and graph them with the click of a button. It also prepares first draft court documents based on actual expenditure, and helps lawyers to critically assess court documents prepared by the other side. Ruffle gives lawyers insights they would otherwise lack, allowing them to impress their clients, reduce their risk, and increase their job satisfaction.

Ruffle is a member of the LEAP group of companies - the leading provider of Legal Practice Productivity Solutions in the world. Over a 30-year period we've expanded across Australia, Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, Poland and New Zealand and support more than 100,000 lawyers and their staff in small and medium sized law firms. We owe our success to our curiosity and commitment to our guiding purpose, to 'Help lawyers who help people'.

Meet the team

Ruffle is a two-person team sitting within the larger LEAP Family Law business unit. We have high autonomy, high flexibility, and low bureaucracy like a startup, but we also enjoy the peace of mind and stability that come with being part of a mature, successful organisation. Working side-by-side with Ruffle's founder (a coder and entrepreneur) you will work on a variety of interesting challenges as we grow Ruffle.

This is an exciting opportunity to make a powerful impact by streamlining lawyers' ability to analyse financial data, prepare accurate court documents, and deliver better outcomes for their clients.

What You'll Do

You will work side-by-side with the founder of Ruffle, as we scale up the backend, expand the frontend feature set, expand to other geographies, and increase integration with the rest of the LEAP ecosystem. You will be responsible for architecting and implementing major new improvements, improving existing systems, expanding testing, and contributing to the ongoing maintenance of the product.

To make this happen, you will:


* Develop and improve processes to automatically extract information from bank statements and financial spreadsheets, using a hybrid approach of traditional algorithms, LLM prompting, and custom UIs to support "humans in the loop"
* Design and implement a more comprehensive testing framework for the product and the data extraction pipeline
* Implement new features, and improving existing ones, based on feedback from users
* Address bottlenecks and growing pains as we scale from hundreds to thousands of users
* Integrate Ruffle with other apps in the LEAP ecosystem
* Investigate and respond to bugs, issues and incidents

What You'll Bring

Along with have 7+ years of hands-on full stack web development, your technical skillset might look like this:
* Strong back-end development skills and proficiency in one or more programming languages like Typescript/Node.js
* Proficiency in JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, and SQL. SvelteKit experience is a bonus
* You're excited about extracting information from documents, delivering useful user experiences, and building tools to assist with financial detective work

You Are The Type Of Person Who
* Is positive: You collaborate openly and positively. You are excited about accomplishing things as a team, and lifting everyone up with you
* Is user-focused: You love making products that solve real needs for real people, and find genuine joy in seeing users benefit from what you create.
* Is pragmatic: You understand the trade-offs between quality and velocity. You consistently strike the right balance
* Is curious: You constantly ask the who, what, where, when, and why, seeking deeper understanding and better solutions.

LEAP is an inclusive, people-first company committed to breaking down institutional barriers that keep people from reaching their potential. If you meet some, but not all the requirements above, we encourage you to still submit your application. Doubly so if you're excited by the Ruffle product

Why join LEAP?
* Your work matters. Helping lawyers help people sits at the heart of everything we do. We solve real world problems that improve and support local, everyday law firms. So they can do their best work for the people in the communities they serve.
* Make an impact. You won't be another 'cog in the wheel' here. We give full trust and autonomy for you to be heard, to work on big & complex projects - and to make a real difference.
* Work with a group of authentic, passionate people who love what they do.
* Well-funded and global. LEAP is the leading provider of Legal Practice Productivity Solutions across Australia, Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland and New Zealand. We're part of ATI - one of the largest international LegalTech companies.
* Flexible and hybrid working. We'd like to find this person in Sydney, but we want you to work in a way that suits you and we're open to flexible arrangements that support you
* Grow your career with us. Our founder Christian Beck has been building legal tech businesses for over 30 years. There are opportunities galore to expand your career based on where your interests lie.
