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, 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.
Shared Compute Infrastructure Team
The Shared Compute Infrastructure team builds and operates the cloud compute foundations that power Relativity’s platform. We provide scalable, secure, and reliable cloud-native infrastructure that enables teams across the organization to run workloads efficiently while meeting high standards for performance and security.
If you’re passionate about solving complex infrastructure problems, designing platforms for scale, and influencing engineering practices across teams, Relativity offers the opportunity to make a meaningful and lasting impact.
