About the role
Top Billers is a recruitment intelligence platform for the legal market.
We read the news so recruiters do not have to - continuously monitoring US legal industry sources for the events that precede senior attorney departures: office closures, client losses, negative publicity, mergers, leadership changes, and the quieter structural signals of a stalled career.
From those signals we maintain 360K+ live attorney profiles, score lateral-move likelihood across 50+ signals, and queue analysis and first-draft outreach for recruiters before their week starts.
We are hiring one senior engineer to own the entire technical operation.
You will be the most senior technical person in the company, working directly with the founders, with full ownership of architecture, stack and roadmap - and the mandate to build the team under you as we scale.
