Role

Who you are

  • At least 5+ years of software experience architecting, building, launching and maintaining complex systems (a formal degree is not required, we are prioritizing industry experience)
  • Leadership across teams and a drive towards improving overall technical architecture and achieving company-wide goals
  • Passion for software engineering to build and ship great product
  • Hands-on experience with building AI-powered products, preferably evidence of shipping valuable products to production with real user feedback

  • Strong cross-team communication and collaboration skills
  • Ironclad’s Values: drive, intent, integrity, and empathy
  • We seek experienced engineers with strong coding fundamentals and a track record of shipping high quality products

What the job involves

  • As a Staff Software Engineer at Ironclad, you'll work cross-functionally to identify business problems and architect, build, and verify solutions
  • You'll build a platform that lets lawyers scale themselves and their businesses 100x more effectively
  • We are looking for a staff software engineer who is excited to work on translating cutting edge AI advancements into tangible and valuable products for our users
  • Be a key contributor to our product strategy and technical architecture for AI at Ironclad
  • Keep track of all relevant AI advancements, and prototype new features and solutions to help assess their feasibility as needed
  • Collaborate cross functionally with product managers, designers, and other engineers to spec, design, and build AI-powered features and systems

Our take

Business contracting is often inefficient and messy, with approvals required from various stakeholders and many processes still paper-based. Ironclad is a platform that digitises, automates, and streamlines contract workflows, allowing legal teams to focus on legal work rather than paperwork. Ironclad’s platform features collaborative tools that facilitate business operations and extract and catalog contract metadata, making information easier to access and act upon. Its enterprise customers include Dropbox, Mastercard, Pixar, Fox, and L’Oréal.

Despite its success, Ironclad faces competition in the $3 billion contract lifecycle management industry from major players like DocuSign and emerging ones like Contractbook. The company recently announced Ironclad Signature, marking its entry into the $25 billion eSignature market. The new feature speeds up the signature process by an estimated 80% and provides summaries and approval histories to users. This new tool is expected to strengthen Ironclad's position in the sell-side contract lifecycle management market.

Additionally, Ironclad introduced value-based pricing, charging only for completed, signed agreements, unlike other providers who charge for every signature packet sent out. Ironclad, backed by investors like Accel, Sequoia, Y Combinator, and BOND, remains committed to innovating and maintaining its leadership in the contract lifecycle management space.
