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.
