Who We Are: Founded by experienced tech and legal industry operators, New Era ADR is revolutionizing a $250B+ dispute resolution industry. We’re backed by top VCs and angels, adopted by Fortune 500 companies, and recommended by the top law firms because our mission of reducing the distraction, cost, and acrimony that comes with resolving a legal dispute is one that resonates with every business and individual.
What We Do: We’re going big – we’re changing how our country thinks about legal disputes. A time-draining, expensive fight every time people or organizations get in a legal argument should *not* be normal. We’re overhauling the way legal disputes are resolved, removing the gamesmanship and posturing in litigation that drags everyone down and hinders growth and innovation, saving people and organizations significant time, cost, and distraction, and making society a little friendlier, more pragmatic, and more amicable.
With a flat fee model that provides never-before-seen cost predictability in litigation, significantly streamlined resolution procedures, and an intuitive user experience, New Era ADR empowers parties to reach a resolution quickly and amicably. Through all of this, we’ll make our justice system far more accessible for countless individuals. And we’d love for you to be part of our ambitious mission!
The Role: We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to drive the development and success of our dispute resolution platform. Responsibilities for this role include designing, building, and maintaining full-stack applications, ensuring performance and scalability, and contributing to both front-end and back-end development.
You'll work closely with our product, design, engineering, and customer success teams to deliver impactful features and enhancements. As an integral part of a remote-first team, you’ll collaborate across departments to shape the product roadmap and push our mission forward.
