Filevine is forging the future of legal work with cloud-based workflow tools. We have a reputation for intuitive, streamlined technology that helps professionals manage their organization and serve their clients better. We’re also known for our team of extraordinary and passionate professionals who love working together to help organizations thrive.

Our Mission
Filevine is building the seamless intersection between legal and business by creating a world-class platform to help professionals scale.
Role Summary
As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll own major parts of our AI stack. You’ll prototype zero-to-one workflows, design multi-step and RAG-based pipelines, and push features into production that real attorneys use within days, not quarters. You’ll work across backend, orchestration, retrieval, and product-integrated AI systems.
Everything you ship will directly shape how legal teams review, revise, and negotiate contracts inside Word and the browser.
Responsibilities
Own major product surfaces that rely on retrieval, structured reasoning, and multi-step AI pipelines
Prototype, evaluate, and productionize new AI workflows for contract review, clause-level analysis, playbook enforcement, and multi-document tasks
Improve our internal LLM orchestration layer, prompt-library, evaluation tooling, and RAG strategies
Partner with founders and our in-house legal team to design and validate new features
Build backend services that support multi-tenant enterprise customers and high-volume workloads
Ship quickly: small PRs, fast iteration cycles, functional releases every week
Qualifications
7+ years of engineering experience
Strong backend engineering skills and ability to build production systems end to end
Experience shipping ML or LLM-powered products at scale
Experience with retrieval, embeddings, experimentation, and evals
Ability to design multi-step pipelines and agentic workflows
Strong instincts around latency, reliability, and fallback strategies
Ability to prototype in days and productionize in weeks
High standards for correctness, reliability, and UX quality
Bonus: Go, Next.js/React, Postgres/pgvector, Cloud Run, multi-provider LLM orchestration
What You’ll Work On
Designing a multi-step agent that analyzes an entire contract, applies playbooks, generates redlines, and formats them into Word-ready output
Improving a retrieval layer that handles 300+ page agreements or mixed corpuses of PDFs, templates, and prior negotiations
Building a system that scores clause-level correctness using structured evaluation datasets
Creating a streaming, long-running workflow for contract review with checkpoints, retries, and deterministic outputs
Designing a prompt-library and golden-file test suite that guarantees consistent outputs across multiple LLM providers
