Role
Who you are
- 7+ years of experience building and shipping production backend systems

- Experience designing scalable systems (HTTP APIs, Postgres, Redis, Cloud Run or similar)
- Ability to architect multi-tenant, enterprise-grade systems
- Strong product instincts and experience shipping user-facing features end to end
- Experience integrating external APIs or LLM provider services
- Ability to work directly with customers to distill ambiguous workflows into clear requirements
- High bar for code quality, architecture, and correctness
- Comfort operating in a fast, iterative environment with high ownership
- Bonus: experience with Office add-ins, agentic workflows, or legal-tech systems
What the job involves
- As a Staff Full Stack Engineer on the contract review and drafting team, you’ll design and build core systems that power our AI-native workflow engine
- You’ll work across the stack: Word add-in surfaces, Next.js web app, Go services, LLM orchestration, document processing, and agentic systems
- You’ll collaborate directly with product, design, and customers to ship features that materially improve how in-house legal teams review and negotiate contracts
- Build and own full-stack features across the Word add-in and the web application
- Architect and scale backend services (Go, Postgres, Cloud Run) that support multi-tenant AI workflows
- Work closely with AI engineers to productionize agentic systems, retrieval pipelines, embeddings, prompt libraries, and evals
- Collaborate directly with customers to understand workflows, gather requirements, and shape product direction
- Ship high-quality, reliable software quickly in a small, senior team
- Improve performance, latency, and reliability across our LLM orchestration layer
- Drive system design for new product lines built on top of the same backend platform
- Mentor engineers and help define engineering standards and best practices
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.
