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.

• Contribute to the design and evolution of the AI orchestration layer, building durable, fault-tolerant agentic workflows using Temporal activities and ReAct reasoning loops powered by pydantic-ai and Claude.

• Deliver features across their complete lifecycle — from design and prototyping through implementation, pytest/syrupy snapshot testing, GitLab CI/CD deployment via Octopus Deploy, and New Relic APM post-launch monitoring.

• Uphold engineering excellence by conducting thorough code reviews, writing comprehensive tests (unit, integration, Playwright end-to-end), maintaining structlog observability, and upholding uv monorepo workspace standards.

• Mentor mid-level and junior engineers in async Python best practices, pydantic-ai agent design, and clean, testable agentic architecture.

• Collaborate closely with product managers, UX designers, legal domain experts, and frontend engineers to translate complex attorney workflows into reliable, high-impact AI-powered features.

• Actively participate in cross-team planning, design reviews, sprint ceremonies, and AI platform standards discussions.

• Communicate technical trade-offs, agentic design decisions, and reliability impacts clearly to both technical teams and non-technical stakeholders, while contributing to AI orchestration roadmap discussions.

• 6+ years of professional backend development experience with expert-level mastery of Python (3.12+), async/await, FastAPI, and Pydantic v2.

• Proven production experience building complex, distributed systems — ideally including durable workflow orchestration (Temporal or equivalent), message queues, or event-driven architectures.

• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate agentic design decisions, reliability trade-offs, and LLM behavior to non-technical stakeholders and cross-functional partners.

• Growth mindset, strong collaborative approach, genuine passion for mentoring others, and proven track record of delivering high-impact features end-to-end in fast-moving production environments.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field preferred — equivalent experience, certifications, or demonstrated expertise with a strong production track record considered equally.
