About the Role

Nebula is KLDiscovery’s flagship eDiscovery platform: a cloud-based SaaS product that carries legal teams from data ingestion through early case assessment, review, and production. With Nebula AI capabilities such as ECAi early case assessment, document summarization, and PII and PHI detection now central to the roadmap, the engineering organization behind Nebula is entering its most ambitious phase yet.

The Director, Software Engineering owns delivery for that organization. Leading managers and a team of engineers, this role is accountable for shipping the Nebula roadmap predictably, keeping the platform fast and reliable at scale, and building the team that does both. The role reports to the EVP, IT and Engineering and partners daily with Product, Design, and the senior leadership team.

We offer competitive total compensation that includes base pay, bonus potential, inclusive benefits, wellness programs, and perks. We use market and industry data to inform pay decisions while considering geography and labor markets, individual experience, and business needs. Individual compensation will vary, although a reasonable estimate of the current annualized base pay range for this position is $190,000 to $225,000.
