Help us help the world agree faster.
Juro has big ambitions: to become the go-to platform for agreeing and managing contracts globally. And we'll need help doing it.
Legal tech is on the rise, with Goldman Sachs estimating that 44% of legal tasks can be automated with generative AI. With the brand we have built and the agility of early stage we are well placed to capture this opportunity.

The challenge
We're looking for an experienced Engineering Team Lead to join our Platform team.
The Platform team’s mission is to provide resilient, scalable, stable and secure platform services on which are use by our product teams and on which all of Juro’s application runs seamlessly.
As an Engineering lead at Juro and in this team you’ll architect, manage, maintain and progress the software development in the team whilst also managing the personal development and wellbeing of your direct reports. This means:
Fostering strong alignment within and across teams, ensuring smooth communication and knowledge sharing.
Breaking down projects, removing blockers, and driving work to ship impactful features quickly and efficiently.
Mentoring engineers, supporting their growth, and attracting top talent to the team.
Aligning technical efforts with business goals, prioritising effectively, and making critical technical decisions.
Building a collaborative and inclusive environment where challenges are addressed openly and constructively.
Staying updated on industry trends, proposing innovative ideas, and contributing to advancing the technical vision.
Why join us
We care about building a diverse team where everyone feels they belong. That’s why our Perks & benefits and Choice-first work approach are designed with inclusivity in mind. Read more in our Diversity, inclusion & belonging hub.
If you’re someone who wants to work for a vibrant, successful tech company but worry that most companies with “unicorn” ambitions are…
chaotic (= immature operation and prone to over-hiring)
fragile (= high cash burn and no profitability)
volatile (= vulnerable to market swings and layoffs)
…and therefore often not conducive to building a sustainable career foundation, you should consider Juro. Here’s why (click the to reveal more information):
Join a tech company committed to sustainable growth.
Work with a modern tech stack.
Join a scaleup that wins awards for its culture.
Who we look for
Research shows that men apply to jobs if they meet ~60% of criteria, but women and those in traditionally underrepresented groups tend to apply only if they check all boxes. If you think you have what it takes but don't meet every single point above, please still get in touch. We'd love to chat and see if you could be a great fit.
We look for people whose approach to work aligns with our Values & behaviours. For this role, we particularly value:
Mentoring: You use your technical expertise to teach your team patiently.
Caring: You take responsibility for your work and your team’s success, addressing issues proactively and seeking continuous improvement.
Autonomy: You manage tasks and initiatives independently, asking focused questions to stay aligned with priorities.
Focus on results: You deliver the tasks and projects that you promise, and you don't invent new solutions if an appropriate one already exists.
On top of that, you have been part of a journey where:
You have a track record of successfully leading and mentoring engineering teams, fostering a culture of collaboration and growth.
You’ve explained technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders and fostered alignment across teams.
You’ve worked closely with cross-functional teams, including Product, Design, and QA, to deliver high-quality features.
You’ve gained hands-on experience developing core product features using TypeScript, JavaScript, React, and Node.js.
Bonus points if:
You have prior experience working in a Platform team.
This job likely isn’t for you if:
You lack hands-on technical experience. Strong expertise with our tech stack is essential.
You’re stepping into leadership for the first time. We’re looking for someone who has already demonstrated success as a team lead and is confident in managing projects, people, and priorities.
You prefer working solo. Collaboration and cross-functional work is key to success at Juro.
You’re not focused on soft skills. Communication and relationship-building are as important as technical expertise.
Juro offers one of the best work-life balances I’ve experienced. It’s a place where respect for individuals is paramount, and any woman would feel comfortable and empowered to work here. Our voices are heard, we can make an impact, and we have the freedom to create initiatives and feel supported.

Our mission
Juro exists to help the world agree faster by making it incredibly easy for anyone to agree and manage legal contracts.
Juro’s intelligent contract automation platform is on its way to de-throning desktop tools as the paradigm for collaborating on legal documentation around the world.
We’re doing that by rebuilding contracts from the ground-up around a browser-native experience, augmenting workflows with powerful AI and enabling all teams to conduct contracting jobs faster than ever before.
