Job Overview

WHO WE ARE
Relativity is a leading legal data intelligence company building technology that helps users organize data, discover the truth, and act on it with confidence. Our AI-powered, cloud platform, RelativityOne, transforms massive volumes of complex information into actionable insights for litigation, investigations, regulatory inquiries, data breach responses, and other high-stakes legal work where accuracy and trust are crucial.
The world’s largest law firms, corporations, and government agencies rely on Relativity’s legal AI software to securely surface and manage the most relevant and impactful information in their matters. Beyond our commercial impact, we’re deeply committed to expanding access to technology for academic institutions through Relativity Academic and supporting pro bono legal work through Justice for Change.
WHAT WE DO
At Relativity, engineers don’t just write code. They shape how industries uncover critical insights, ensure compliance, advance access to justice, and continuously evolve our platform using cloud-native architectures, AI capabilities, and modern developer tooling. Our AI powers privacy programs, identifies confidential information, and detects language indicating misconduct. We’re reimagining how legal professionals uncover truth at scale, and engineering is at the heart of that transformation.
This team is responsible for building and evolving distributed, cloud-native services that process data at massive scale. Engineers collaborate closely with product and design to deliver high-impact features and continuously improve system reliability, performance, and usability. You’ll work in a highly collaborative environment where learning, experimentation, and shared ownership drive success.
If you’re passionate about solving hard problems, designing for scale, and building tools that matter, Relativity offers the opportunity to make a measurable difference in the marketplace.
