Our dynamic, mid-sized IP law firm represents the world’s leading computer software and hardware innovators—from early-stage startups to unicorns and global Fortune 100 companies. Our work spans cutting-edge technologies including artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, video encoding, quantum computing, and cloud computing. With approximately 50 attorneys and 30 staff across Michigan, California, and several other states, we are entering a phase of continued growth and organizational maturity.

We are seeking a highly autonomous and experienced Full-Stack Software Engineer who is highly proficient in modern AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code or similar) and can leverage them effectively for design, coding, debugging, and productivity. As the sole developer, you will be the primary technical authority, responsible for everything from initial database schema design in MSSQL to the overall architecture and delivery of the application. Front-end implementation may be supported by third-party developers, with this role focused primarily on back-end systems, data, and infrastructure.
