Job Summary

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.

Responsibilities

  • 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.

Qualifications

  • 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.

View company profile

Filevine's journey began from the real-world frustrations of practicing attorneys Ryan Anderson and Nate Morris. As lawyers managing a growing firm, they found existing software solutions inadequate for the pace and complexity of their work. This firsthand experience of the legal profession's daily grind – the mountains of paperwork, the critical deadlines, and the constant need for seamless client communication – fueled a desire for something better. They envisioned a system that could truly support the demanding nature of legal practice, a stark contrast to the clunky, outdated tools they were forced to use. This wasn't just about incremental improvement; it was about fundamentally rethinking how legal work could be managed with modern technology.

The turning point came when Anderson and Morris connected with Jim Blake, described as a 'one-of-a-kind, truly brilliant engineer'. [1, 12] This meeting of legal insight and engineering prowess was the catalyst for Filevine's creation. [1, 12] Together, they embarked on a mission to build a platform designed by lawyers, for lawyers. Starting with a focus on personal injury firms, Filevine was initially conceived as a task management software. However, the ambition was always larger. The team recognized that legal professionals across all practice areas were underserved by existing technology and were hungry for tools that could genuinely make their lives easier and their work more effective. This understanding, coupled with a commitment to listening to customer needs, drove Filevine's evolution. The company expanded its offerings to cover the entire legal matter lifecycle, acquiring companies like Lead Docket and Outlaw to enhance its capabilities in lead intake and document management. [1, 2] From its early days, operating on a shoestring budget, Filevine has grown into a comprehensive legal operating system, now valued at over a billion dollars and serving thousands of law firms and legal departments. [1, 2, 19] The platform now incorporates advanced AI features, demonstrating a continued commitment to innovation and to transforming the way legal work gets done. [1, 19]
