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.
Qualifications
- 5+ years of backend development with expert-level C# and .NET 8+
- 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.
