Role
Who you are
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
- 5+ years of backend engineering experience, with proficiency in languages such as C#, Node.js, or Python (experience with Filevine’s tech stack is a plus)
- AI/LLM Fluency: Demonstrated experience or strong interest in using AI coding assistants (Cursor, Copilot, SOTA LLM assistants) to accelerate development and solve complex logic problems
- System Design: Proven track record of designing microservices or modular architectures for document-heavy or workflow-automation applications
- Migration Experience: Experience deprecating legacy systems or refactoring monolithic applications into modern services is highly desirable
- Database Skills: Strong proficiency in SQL and NoSQL databases, with an understanding of complex data mapping and schema design
- Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills to articulate technical risks and progress to stakeholders
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with a strong backend focus to lead the architecture and development of a new, high-availability forms engine. You will work directly with our Lead Architect to replace a legacy system with a modern, scalable solution capable of serving enterprise customers
- This role requires a builder who embraces AI tools (LLMs, Copilot) to accelerate coding and logic mapping, ensuring we meet aggressive deprecation timelines
- You will also act as an owner of the new platform as while we transition customers off of the legacy system
- Architect & Build: Design and implement the backend infrastructure for a scalable, AI-driven forms engine that supports family law, workers' comp, and bankruptcy verticals
- AI Integration: Implement and optimize "AI-first" workflows, including auto-mapping models and evaluation harnesses to automate the conversion of PDF forms into digital workflows
- Legacy Migration: Lead the technical strategy for migrating data and logic from a legacy platform, ensuring zero data loss and maintaining compliance standards
- Performance & Scale: Ensure the platform is "e-filing ready" and capable of handling high-volume, concurrent usage from large enterprise and government clients
- Mentorship & Review: Conduct code reviews and provide technical guidance to ensure high-quality standards, serving as a key "knowledge bridge" in the absence of the Lead Architect
- Tooling & DevOps: Collaborate with SREs to build robust CI/CD pipelines, observability tools, and automated diff/repair mechanisms for form updates
Our take
Law firms, corporate legal teams and government agencies are under increasing pressure to handle more work, more data and tighter timelines, all without increasing costs. As a result, demand is growing for legal technology that can automate routine tasks, organize complex information and also help laywers work faster and more accurately. AI has become a key part of this change, and today it's hard to find interest in legal tech that doesn't have AI at its core.
Filevine is a good example of how this shift is playing out, Founded in 2014, the company began as a software-as-a-service platform helping legal teams manage cases, documents, billing and payments in one place. Over time though, Filevine has expanded into what it now calls a Legal Operating Intelligence System, bringing intelligence into the full lifecycle of a legal matter. And in recent years, the focus has moved strongly toward AI, as most of the company's revenue comes from its AI products rather than from its original software.
This growth shows just how well its aligned with where the market is heading, and with $400M from major investors, it continues to expand its platform, adding AI tools that connect across legal workflows. By bringing together case management, depositions, contracts and drafting into a single system, Filevine has positioned itself as a central operating platform for modern legal teams.
