Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa Cognia Law Full time R250 000 - R500 000 per year
Want to be at the forefront of the legal industry's biggest transformation? Join us as a Legal Engineer and work where law, technology, and AI collide. Role Description

Legal Tech is moving fast and changing an industry that hasn't changed in decades. We're building a team that wants to be right in the middle of that shift to drive this change, and our Legal Engineer role sits right on that front line. You'll be working where legal services, technology and AI collide. One day you might be mapping a legal workflow and spotting automation opportunities; the next, testing a new tool, building a prototype or helping shape how our teams work with AI. You won't be watching senior people do the interesting work. We are looking for someone who can take ownership, ask insightful questions, and bring forward innovative ideas.

If you're curious about how technology can transform a traditional industry, enjoy solving complex problems, and want a role where you can directly shape the future of legal work, you'll thrive on this team.

Company Profile

Cognia seamlessly extends corporates, banks and law firms' legal capability to deliver sustainable outcomes. Our goal is to connect the legal sector, moving it from a siloed approach to integrated partnerships. We help in-house legal teams by bringing simplicity to complex matters and replacing broken procedures with efficient processes.

Cognia is a Chambers-ranked law company which integrates how legal services are provided so our team, partners, clients and communities thrive together with people at the heart of what we do. We encourage our people to bring their whole self to work and focus on enabling them to realise their full potential.

Key Responsibilities
  • Support with mapping and documentation of legal processes, contributing insights and spotting opportunities to improve workflows.
  • Help design, test and workflows and legal-tech tools, taking ownership of small components and tasks.
  • Research emerging legal-tech trends, platforms, troubleshooting issues and suggesting improvements.
  • Maintain and update legal-tech platforms, troubleshooting issues and suggesting improvements where needed.
  • Work closely with legal and technical teams to support the rollout and adoption of tools, helping users understand and apply them.
  • Produce reports and basic data insights to support matter management, using data to help colleagues make informed decisions.
  • Take part in ongoing training to build technical, legal-process and business understanding, and apply new skills to day -to-day work.

Requirements

  • Degree in Commerce, Law or Computer Science, (Law preferred)
  • Genuine interest in how technology is reshaping the legal world, and the enthusiasm to be part of that shift.
  • Experience using AI tools to tackle real problems, whether in legal work or creative side projects, is a strong advantage.
  • Exposure to tools like Power Apps, SharePoint, PowerBI or Dataverse is a bonus.
  • Clear, confident communication skills with the ability to break down technical or legal concepts for different internal and external audiences.
  • Problem-solver at heart, with the ability to analyse a process, ask good questions and spot smarter ways of doing things.
  • Openness to learning new tools and skills - whether that's basic coding, automation platforms or industry-specific legal-tech.

Desirable (nice-to-have)

  • Coursework, projects or internships involving Power Platforms, coding (Python, JavaScript, SQL) or legal-tech tools.
  • Examples of how you've used technology to make something easier, faster or smarter - in law, university projects or personal work.
  • A basic understanding of legal concepts or terminology that helps you engage confidently with legal teams.
