Senior Software Engineer

A Note from our Founders

We started Deposely because we saw a massive gap between the importance of legal work and the quality of the tools lawyers use to do it. We believe that the people protecting our legal systems deserve software that is as ambitious as they are.

We launched Deposely with three simple goals:

• Solve real problems.

• Learn new skills.

• Have fun doing it.

Our philosophy on team-building is centered on passion and compassion. We look for people who are "all-in" on the mission and the craft, but we keep the human aspect front and center. You’ll find that we are high-energy and ambitious, but also grounded and understanding. We take the work seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously.

If you're excited about building the future of legal tech, we’d love to have you with us.

- Mitchell and Donnie

What We’re Building

We’re an early-stage team at the intersection of technology and law. We’re driven by a simple reality: legal work is vital to protecting everyday people, yet the industry’s tech is underdeveloped. With the rise of AI, we finally have the tools to change that.

The problem we’re solving: You’ve seen it on shows like Suits where a lawyer sits across from a witness, a camera rolls, and the questioning begins. That’s a deposition. But unlike TV, the reality involves hundreds of hours of grueling preparation, manual review, and high costs.

Deposely automates this workflow, saving lawyers and their clients significant time and money while improving their chances of success.

Our Traction: While we are early stage, we are moving fast:

• Dozens of paying clients and hundreds of active users.

• Active sales motions with AM Law 200 firms.

• Established distribution partnerships with leading legal services companies.

• Impact: We’re committed to increasing equitable access to justice through programs like Deposely Essentials and the Deposely Justice Initiative.

Our Tech Stack

• Cloud: Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

• Infrastructure as Code: Pulumi

• CI/CD: Modern pipeline tooling

• Languages & Frameworks: TypeScript, React (Next.js), NestJS

• AI Tooling: Heavy use of Cursor and Claude
