Our Mission

Filevine is building the seamless intersection between legal and business by creating a world- class platform to help professionals scale.

Role Summary:

Join a high-impact engineering team innovating on a brand-new product inside Filevine, creating mission-critical systems that redefine how justice is served—using cutting-edge .NET Critter Stack (MartenDB and Wolverine), Domain-Driven Design, and event-driven architecture to solve complex, real-world problems at scale.

Responsibilities

  • Architect and implement sophisticated legal domains using Domain-Driven Design (DDD), defining bounded contexts, aggregates, domain events, and a shared ubiquitous language.
  • Model resilient, event-sourced systems with Marten, leveraging multi-document sessions, projections, and tenanted document storage in PostgreSQL.
  • Design and deliver asynchronous, idempotent message handlers using Wolverine, with built-in retry policies, dead-letter queues, and full observability.
  • Optimize PostgreSQL performance under high-throughput workloads using indexing, partitioning, and query tuning.
  • Drive end-to-end feature ownership—from domain modeling and REST API design to CI/CD automation, observability, and production monitoring.
  • Establish and enforce engineering excellence through code reviews, architectural decision records (ADRs), and comprehensive test coverage (unit, integration, contract).
  • Build in enough resiliency or be prepared to troubleshoot and resolve the technical issues, no matter the hour.
  • Mentor mid-level and junior engineers in DDD strategic patterns, clean architecture, and modern .NET best practices.
  • Partner with product, UX, and legal domain experts to translate complex workflows into intuitive, high-performance software.
  • Actively shape shared domain models and architecture decisions in cross-team design syncs, sprint planning, and design document reviews.
  • Clearly articulate technical trade-offs and domain models to engineers, product leaders, and stakeholders.
  • Actively contribute in design discussions, sprint planning, and cross-team syncs with empathy and respect.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of backend development with expert-level C# and .NET 8+
  • Production-grade mastery of Domain-Driven Design (strategic + tactical patterns)
  • Deep, hands-on experience with MartenDB and Wolverine (.NET Critter Stack)
  • Strong grasp of CQRS, event sourcing, and PostgreSQL performance optimization
  • Experience in legal tech, workflow automation, or regulated industries
  • Familiarity with OpenTelemetry or other observability platforms
  • Familiarity with Svelte, TypeScript, and frontend development
  • Familiarity with Auth0 and OktaFGA
  • Exceptional communication—able to explain complex domain logic to non-technical stakeholders
  • Growth mindset, collaborative spirit, and passion for mentorship
  • Proven ability to independently drive high-impact initiatives to completion under ambitious timelines.

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]
