Senior Software Engineer

This role is an opportunity to:

• Join a rapidly growing national firm at a formative stage
• Make a visible, measurable impact on a rapidly growing business
• Grow your skills, responsibility, and influence as the firm scales
• Work alongside high-caliber, mission-driven teammates who care deeply about doing great work

We are looking for people who don’t just want a job, they want purpose and impact.

In this role, you will be responsible for:

• Design, build, and maintain production systems that support core business workflows
• Own features and services end-to-end, from design through deployment and operation
• Extend and integrate Salesforce-based systems through custom code and integrations
• Build backend services and integrations outside of Salesforce as the platform evolves
• Contribute to system and API design with a focus on scalability, reliability, and clarity
• Partner with Product to translate business needs into practical technical solutions
• Improve existing systems by reducing complexity and technical debt
• Support production systems and contribute to operational excellence
• Participate in architectural discussions and technical decision-making
• Mentor other engineers through collaboration, code reviews, and knowledge sharing
• Develop and maintain code using Git-based workflows, including branching strategies, pull requests, and peer reviews
• Collaborate with QA, Product, and stakeholders to validate changes in UAT environments prior to production release
• Contribute to and improve CI/CD pipelines to ensure reliable, repeatable, and auditable deployments
• Identifying opportunities to improve systems, processes, or outcomes—not just following existing playbooks

At TopDog Law, everyone is expected to think critically, communicate clearly, and take ownership of their work.

As a Senior Software Engineer at TopDog Law, you will design, build, and operate software systems that support critical business capabilities across the organization. Senior engineers are expected to own meaningful areas of the codebase, make sound technical decisions, and take responsibility for the quality and reliability of the systems they build.

You will work across product domains over time, partnering with Product, Data, and other engineers to deliver scalable, maintainable solutions in complex, real-world systems. Much of our current work involves extending and integrating with Salesforce-based systems, including custom Apex, integrations, and operational workflows. As the platform evolves, this role will also contribute to building services and applications outside of Salesforce using Node.js and TypeScript to support new capabilities and long-term scalability, with some supporting services and workflows implemented in Python. This is a hands-on role that values judgment, collaboration, and the ability to move work forward with limited direction.

This role is critical to our success because it:

• Directly impacts [clients / revenue / case outcomes / team efficiency]
• Supports speed, quality, and consistency as we scale
• Helps protect and elevate the TopDog Law brand and client experience
• Strengthens the foundation needed to grow responsibly and sustainably

Within your first 6–12 months, success in this role looks like:

• You consistently deliver on commitments with minimal oversight
• You proactively identify issues and propose solutions
• Your work raises the bar for quality, clarity, and follow-through
• You are viewed as a reliable, trusted partner by teammates and leaders
• You contribute positively to team energy, morale, and momentum

Required:

• 5 or more years of professional software engineering experience
• Experience owning and operating production systems
• Hands-on experience writing code within Salesforce environments beyond configuration
• Experience building backend services or integrations outside of Salesforce
• Strong understanding of system design, APIs, and data modeling
• Ability to balance speed of delivery with long-term maintainability
• Comfort operating with ambiguity and driving work forward independently
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset
• Experience working in Git-based codebases using pull requests, reviews, and structured branching workflows
• Strong communication skills—written and verbal
• Ability to think critically, prioritize effectively, and execute with speed

Nice to Have:

• Experience in a fast-growing or high-volume environment
• Comfort with ambiguity and evolving systems
• Experience in legal, professional services, or client-centric organizations

Over the past three years, we’ve grown 2–3x year over year, setting a new standard on the marketing side of the personal injury space and proving what’s possible when strategy, speed, and execution align. Now, we’re applying that same discipline and innovation to law firm operations, case management, and execution as we scale nationally and fully integrate.

We are intentionally building the infrastructure, systems, and teams needed to scale at a national level—without sacrificing quality, culture, or accountability. This is still the early stage of that journey, which means the people who join now have a real opportunity to help shape how the firm operates for years to come.
