We have 14 offices in major financial centers around the world, but we operate as a single, integrated global partnership and not as a U.S. firm with a network of overseas locations. The firm employs approximately 1,200 lawyers from more than 50 countries.\nSince 1946 our lawyers and staff have worked across practices, industries, jurisdictions, and continents to provide clients with simple, actionable approaches to their most complex legal and business challenges, whether domestic or international. We support every client relationship with intellectual agility, commercial acumen, and a human touch.\nThe Applications Manager - Software Development leads the firm's in-house enterprise software development team within Enterprise Applications. The role is responsible for the design, delivery, security, and ongoing support of custom applications across the web, SharePoint Online, and mobile technology stack, as well as the integration of those solutions with commercial platforms and third-party products.\nThis is a hands-on leadership position. The manager coaches and develops a team of developers, sets engineering standards and practices, and partners with business stakeholders, Project Management, Business Analysis, other IT teams, and vendors to deliver reliable, secure solutions. The manager is expected to bring a modern approach to software delivery, including GitHub-based source control and CI/CD pipelines, responsible use of AI-assisted coding tools, and a documented Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC).\nResponsibilities\nTeam Leadership\nProvide guidance, coaching, and leadership to the software development team, including workload management, performance management, career development, and regular feedback.\nSet and manage team objectives and tasks, and provide frequent updates on the team, projects, and priorities to IT leadership and stakeholders.\nApplication Development & Delivery\nLead the development and maintenance of custom applications across the technology stack, including web, SharePoint Online, and mobile.\nDirect the design and delivery of SharePoint Online solutions using the SharePoint Framework (SPFx), including web parts, extensions, and integrations with Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Graph.\nSupport and extend the firm's intranet and collaboration platforms, including solutions built on InfoDash where applicable.\nArchitect applications for scale, complexity, security, and fault tolerance, and contribute actively to design and implementation.\nProvide level-three application support, troubleshooting and resolving issues in a timely, customer-focused manner.\nModern Engineering Practices\nEstablish and evolve the firm's software development toolset, including GitHub repositories, branching and pull request workflows, and automated build, test, and deployment pipelines.\nGuide the responsible adoption of AI-assisted coding tools (for example, GitHub Copilot and Claude), including standards for code review, testing, intellectual property, and the protection of confidential firm and client information.\nEnsure the team writes clean, reusable, well-tested code that adheres to coding standards and best practices, and create new guidelines where needed.\nApply Waterfall and Agile delivery approaches as appropriate to the project and stakeholders.\nSecurity & Governance\nEnsure all custom-developed software follows the firm's documented and approved SSDLC, with security requirements built into specification and design rather than added later.\nEnforce source-control, change-management, peer-review, and release-approval controls, and maintain separation between development, test, UAT, and production environments.\nIntegrate logging, monitoring, vulnerability detection, code scanning, and security testing into the development process, following industry practices such as OWASP.\nEnsure developers complete annual secure-coding training and follow secure coding guidelines for the languages in use.\nFollow and uphold the firm's policies on data governance, information security, and the end-to-end development lifecycle.\nProject & Stakeholder Management\nManage projects to completion, including project definition, scheduling, and coordination with Project Management, Business Analysis, and other departments.\nWork with business users to determine functional requirements, translate them into technical requirements, and manage stakeholder expectations in clear, non-technical terms.\nAnticipate, identify, and articulate problem areas, and work with others to formulate and implement solutions.\nCollaborate with third parties and vendors on technical solutions that support business processes, and with other IT teams on new systems, upgrades, and enhancements.\nQualifications\nRequired\nBachelor's degree and 10+ years of application development experience, including experience leading or mentoring developers.\nStrong, hands-on experience with SharePoint Online and the SharePoint Framework (SPFx), including TypeScript and modern JavaScript frameworks such as React.\nExpert-level .NET / C# development with deep knowledge of object-oriented design patterns and their effective application.\nExperience with Git and GitHub, including branching and merging strategies, pull requests, and CI/CD or DevOps pipelines (for example, GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps).\nWorking knowledge of secure software development, including SSDLC practices, OWASP guidance, code scanning, and dependency management.\nExperience with AI-assisted coding tools and an understanding of how to use them safely and effectively within a controlled development process.\nExperience with software architecture and the relationship between client-side and server-side components, and with large-scale enterprise project implementations.\nProficiency with Microsoft SQL Server and Transact-SQL.\nExperience integrating commercial software with custom solutions and other third-party products, including REST APIs.\nExperience with Waterfall and Agile methodologies and the ability to manage projects to completion.\nPractical experience providing level-three application support.\nExcellent communication, organizational, and leadership skills, with the ability to work independently and to communicate effectively with non-technical stakeholders.\nPreferred\nKnowledge of InfoDash.\nExperience with the Intapp suite of tools (Open, Integration Builder, etc.).\nExperience with the iManage suite of tools (Work, SPM, etc.)\nExperience with Atlassian products such as Jira and Confluence.\nExperience with Microsoft 365 development, Power Platform, and Azure services.\nExperience managing a software development team in a law firm or other professional services environment.\nThe estimated base salary range for this position is $200,000
