and long-term reliability improvements; continuously improve runbooks, documentation,

and engineering standards.

  • Take ownership of technical initiatives from design through implementation, develop deep

expertise in critical areas of the Filevine platform, and communicate clearly with technical

and business stakeholders.

  • 4+ years of hands-on experience in software engineering, cloud infrastructure, platform

engineering, DevOps, or related technical roles, including at least 2 years in a Site Reliability

Engineering or reliability-focused role.

  • Working knowledge of distributed systems and how applications, infrastructure, and cloud

services interact in production; demonstrated ability to troubleshoot production issues,

perform root cause analysis, and drive long-term reliability improvements.

AWS or a comparable platform, including compute, container orchestration, networking,

IAM, object storage, and cloud-native monitoring.

  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform, Pulumi, or AWS

CloudFormation, and familiarity with modern observability practices including monitoring,

logging, alerting, distributed tracing, and incident response.

  • Experience using AI-assisted engineering tools to improve productivity, accelerate

troubleshooting, or automate operational tasks; curiosity, ownership, and a passion for

building reliable systems through continuous improvement.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science,
