Job Description: Filevine is a Legal AI company delivering Legal Operating Intelligence for the future of legal work. Grounded in a singular system of truth, Filevine brings together data, documents, workflows, and teams into one unified platform—where modern legal work happens with clarity and consistency.

Powered by LOIS, the Legal Operating Intelligence System, Filevine connects context across every matter to transform legal operations from reactive to proactive. LOIS reads, understands, and reasons across your data to surface insight, automate complexity, and give professionals the clarity and confidence to see more, know more, and do more. Fueled by a team of exceptional collaborators and innovators, Filevine’s rapid growth has earned AI awards and recognition from Deloitte and Inc. as one of the most innovative and fastest-growing technology companies in the country.

About the Role:
As a Staff Software Engineer, you’ll shape the technical direction of Filevine. You’ll architect and build systems that keep our platform fast, reliable, and ready for the future – from web applications to distributed backend services that power AI-driven experiences across the product.

This role is about solving the hard problems: the cross-team ones, the ambiguous ones, the “we’re not sure how to do this yet” ones. You’ll partner with engineering leadership, mentor teams, and raise the level of technical excellence across the organization.

Partner with Product and Engineering leadership to define the long-term technical roadmap
Architect scalable systems that support rapid growth and evolving product demands
Solve high-impact technical challenges that unblock teams and accelerate execution
Promote engineering best practices and push Filevine forward in modern development
Mentor engineers across levels and help shape how we build, review, and ship software
Collaborate across teams (and time zones) to deliver large projects without drama
Qualifications
3+ years building and shipping software products from idea → release → maintenance
Experience leading projects or teams, designing scalable services, and making technical decisions with confidence
Comfortable working across the stack – more focused on solving problems than guarding territory
Thrives in a remote, collaborative environment (async communication, clear thinking, no ego)
Able to partner with operations and customer-facing teams to turn messy realities into clean solutions
Familiar with or open to using: Python, React, Typescript, Kubernetes, AWS
