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

- 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.

- 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.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
