Careers

Working here means building software for South African law firms with care, precision and respect for deadlines. We hire people who can handle detail, work cleanly across teams, and keep sensitive information in order.

Careers

Work that supports real firm pressure

Law firms do not operate on soft timelines, so the work around our platform has to stay clear, careful and practical. We support document assembly, matter tracking, e-discovery workflows and secure handling of information for firms in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and Bloemfontein.

That means the people on our team often work with templates, permissions, case structures, onboarding tasks and support notes that need accurate follow through. A small gap in a workflow can slow down a practice, so the people we hire need steady judgement and a strong eye for detail.

  • Template and document operations
  • Client onboarding and implementation support
  • Product, workflow and matter configuration
  • Security, hosting and access control work

Roles that fit the way we work

We hire across operations, product, support, security and implementation. Some people join to shape clean document logic, while others handle client setup, training, evidence imports or the admin work that keeps a rollout tidy.

There are also roles for people who understand legal office routines and can translate those into software steps without making the process feel heavy. If you work well with structure, deadlines and careful communication, there may be a place for you here.

  • Operations and client coordination
  • Template and workflow build work
  • Security and access management
  • Training and support for firm users

The kind of experience that helps

Experience in legal operations, software support, records management or process design is useful, although strong practical thinking matters just as much. We value people who can keep information organised, ask direct questions and work through a task without making a mess of the file trail.

Because our work touches confidential material, we look for careful habits and a calm approach to sensitive data. A clear understanding of privacy, POPIA awareness and clean file handling helps, especially when a role includes evidence review or access setup.

  • Comfort with structured tasks and tracked changes
  • Good judgement around confidential information
  • Clear written communication with legal teams
  • Confidence working across multiple projects

How a typical team day can look

On a normal day, someone in our team might review a matter structure, refine a template, test a permissions change or help prepare evidence for search and review. Another person may be sorting onboarding steps for a firm in Sandton or setting up a more disciplined workflow for a practice in Cape Town.

The work is hands-on and detailed. It suits people who like solving practical problems, checking their own work, and keeping moving parts in order without unnecessary noise.

  • Reviewing document fields and matter rules
  • Checking access settings for user groups
  • Preparing training notes for firm staff
  • Following through on implementation tasks

Joining from Johannesburg or further afield

Our base is in Sandton, Johannesburg, and many of our roles connect with firms across the country. Some people work closely with local onboarding, while others support projects that reach Pretoria, Durban, Bloemfontein and Cape Town.

We are looking for people who can work with South African law firm realities, including tight deadlines, shifting priorities and careful handling of matter data. That can suit someone based in Gauteng or someone elsewhere who is comfortable working with a Johannesburg team.

  • Sandton and greater Johannesburg operations
  • Regional onboarding support
  • Remote-friendly coordination for legal teams
  • Process work tied to local practice needs
