DISCO is shaping the future of litigation with a unique combination of cutting-edge technology and expert professional services, designed to handle the most complex legal matters.
Our award winning, cloud native platform empowers legal teams to instantly process, collect, and search through millions of documents for relevant case data. The documents are heterogeneous, comprising of email archives, chat exports, audio, video, and native office files. Our customers, often handling sensitive and privileged material, rely on us to deliver a platform with robust security controls, strict data privacy, and data residency guarantees that reflect the jurisdictions they operate in.
Over 170 engineers make up our global engineering organisation, located in three technical hubs - India, UK and the US. Our engineers work collaboratively to solve complex technical challenges and enhance our platform, all with the purpose of improving our customers' experience.
We're now expanding our UK hub and this is an exciting moment to join us as we grow our UK presence. You will join one of our UK-based teams working to enhance our platform.
Day to day, you will own complex technical work end to end: breaking down ambiguous problems, making deliberate trade-off decisions, and shipping well-considered code that improves the outcomes of our customers. You will contribute to architectural design, keep an eye on the broader health of the systems you work on, and raise issues, in requirements, design, or code, before they become problems.
You will also invest time in the people around you, whether that is through code review, pairing, or helping less experienced engineers grow. As well as working closely with other engineers in our UK hub, you will collaborate with your colleagues based in India and the US.
We embrace AI-first development, using AI tooling throughout the engineering lifecycle to move faster and build better software. At the same time, our engineers own what they ship: every service running in production is the direct responsibility of the team behind it.
