Description
Nexl is the fast-growing LegalTech company on an ambitious mission to elevate the business of law.
We build an AI-driven CRM and growth intelligence platform that brings a firm's internal and external data together so lawyers, marketing, and business development can collaborate, spot opportunities, and grow revenue.
Recognised by the Financial Times, Deloitte, and the Australian Financial Review as one of the fastest-growing businesses, Nexl is trusted by 150+ firms globally.
We've recently closed a $23 million Series B led by Tidemark Capital, accelerating our mission to transform how law firms grow by uniting lawyers, marketing, and business development into a single growth engine.
The Opportunity
We're scaling our Product & Engineering organisation and expanding our Sydney hub, and we're looking for a Senior Software Engineer with deep React expertise who wants to build, ship, and shape a global SaaS product used and loved by leading law firms around the world.
This role is perfect for someone who's happiest close to users and UI. You'll spend most of your time in React/TypeScript, but you'll also work across backend services as needed to deliver an end-to-end solution. You'll work in a cross-functional squad, pair closely with Product & Design, and help shape Nexl's frontend architecture and engineering practices as we grow.
We're looking for engineers who bring strong technical depth, product instincts, and a high level of ownership — people who raise the bar, use AI to accelerate their workflow, and balance autonomy with collaboration.
