Security Engineer
We are fast-moving, highly ambitious, love shipping, and deeply care for our users. At Legora, you won’t only experience the future, but you’ll get to dictate it.
About us
At Legora, we’re on a mission to transform the way lawyers work. Our AI-native platform lets legal professionals enhance their productivity and automate complex workflows. We collaborate closely with our clients and iterate at a market-leading pace. In a year, we have gone from an early MVP to tools used daily by thousands of lawyers, and are now scaling rapidly. We are here to win together with our team and clients, and carry the belief that life is too short not to accomplish something truly special.
You are joining an early-stage scale-up with exceptional product-market fit, trusted by global leaders like Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin and Bird & Bird. Backed by over $110M in funding from top investors including ICONIQ, General Catalyst, Benchmark, Redpoint, and Y Combinator. And a world-class team from Google, Klarna, Spotify, Slack, and top tier consulting and law firms with infinite room to grow professionally.
The role
At Legora, securing our platform means engineering security from from day one — not bolting it on later. We’re looking for a Security Engineer who can think like an attacker, build like a developer, and operate like an SRE. You’ll work across our whole tech stack, from Azure cloud infrastructure to JavaScript and Python services, to our AI integrations and workflows. You'll help make sure everything we ship is secure-by-default and resilient to evolving threats.
This is a hands-on, technical role where you’ll be building tooling, embedding in product squads, and solving hard security problems at scale. You’ll work alongside our Head of Security, engineers, and product teams to design, implement, and maintain robust security controls while enabling rapid, safe innovation.
What you will be doing:
- Embed security into our software development lifecycle; conduct design reviews, threat modeling, and secure code reviews for our JavaScript and Python codebases.
- Architect and implement security controls for our Azure cloud infrastructure, ensuring Zero Trust principles in identity, network, and service-to-service communication.
- Build and maintain secure-by-default tooling, templates, and guardrails for our developers.
- Protect AI workflows by designing and build defenses against prompt injection, data leakage, and abuse.
- Develop and maintain vulnerability management pipelines (SAST, DAST, dependency scanning), triaging and driving fixes with engineering teams.
- Automate security processes in CI/CD, including secret scanning, artifact signing, and policy-as-code checks.
- Partner with our information security team to ensure compliance and automate evidence collection efforts.
Who you are
- You have 3+ years in a security engineering, product security, or DevSecOps role, ideally in a cloud-first, high-growth tech environment.
- You are fluent in at least one programming language (JavaScript preferred) and comfortable reading/writing production code.
- You have hands-on experience securing cloud environments (Azure strongly preferred) and working with Infrastructure-as-Code (Pulumi, Terraform, or similar).
- You understand Zero Trust architecture and can design systems with identity-centric, least-privilege access controls.
- You have experience with secure SDLC practices, application security testing, and vulnerability management.
- You have worked on or are curious about securing AI/ML workflows, with an interest in adversarial ML threats and mitigations.
- You thrive in cross-functional work, explaining security risks to engineers, influencing design choices, and collaborating to deliver secure features on time.
What's in it for you
- Career development opportunities in a rapidly evolving entrepreneurial environment.
- Direct collaboration with senior leadership and the opportunity to directly impact company growth and strategy.
- A collaborative, high-energy team environment where your ideas and contributions are valued and implemented.
- Competitive salary complemented with a transparent and highly competitive options program.
- Centrally located offices in Stockholm, designed as a space for you to do your life's work.
