Vice President of Software Engineering

Magna Legal Services is a trusted nationwide partner to law firms, corporations, insurance carriers, and government agencies, delivering comprehensive legal support at every stage of a case. From court reporting and record retrieval to jury consulting, investigations, litigation graphics, and language services, we help our clients navigate complex legal challenges with confidence. Our reputation is built on the expertise, dedication, and professionalism of our team, and we’re proud to foster a culture where talented people can do meaningful work and grow their careers.

Magna Legal Services is seeking a Vice President of Software Engineering to lead the teams responsible for building, operating, and evolving the software platforms that support our legal-services businesses. This leader will oversee software engineering people, processes, and execution across Magna's full suite of product offerings, shared platform capabilities, and emerging AI-enabled solutions.

Reporting directly to Magna's Chief Technology Officer, the Vice President of Software Engineering will translate business and product priorities into disciplined engineering plans, strengthen delivery and operational performance, and build an organization capable of scaling across multiple products and lines of business. Direct reports will include engineering managers, QA, DevOps/SRE, and architecture leads. The role will partner closely with the CTO, Product, Marketing, Operations, and go-to-market leaders.

This is a hands-on executive leadership role for someone who can operate at both the organizational and technical levels, deeply engaged in design reviews, technical tradeoffs, and incident resolution rather than day-to-day coding: developing leaders, improving delivery systems, guiding complex software initiatives, and ensuring that teams consistently produce secure, reliable, maintainable software. The CTO will continue to lead enterprise technical vision and architectural direction; the Vice President of Software Engineering will ensure that direction is translated into effective team structures, sound execution, and measurable results. This is a remote position within the United States.

This is a remote position within the United States. The Vice President of Software Engineering must be able to travel to Magna’s Philadelphia-area offices approximately 10% of the time. Travel may occasionally be scheduled on short notice or occur in consecutive weeks based on business needs. Candidates with convenient access to Philadelphia are preferred.
