FirmPilot builds AI-powered systems that automate and scale real-world business outcomes for law firms. We are a young, remote-first company focused on building durable, production-grade software. We use modern AI to add leverage, but we ground everything in strong engineering fundamentals, reliability, and clarity.
We are not a burn-you-up startup, but we do operate at a high bar. Our ability to move quickly comes from strong communication, ownership, and shared standards.
The Role
We are hiring a Software Engineer to help design, build, and evolve the core platform that powers our AI-driven automation products.
This role is centered on software engineering excellence: system design, maintainability, scalability, and operational reliability. While our platform uses AI, this role focuses on building the systems that make those capabilities usable and dependable.
What You’ll Do
Design, build, and maintain backend services using modern dotnet.
Implement and evolve APIs (REST and GraphQL) for internal tools, AI agents, and client-facing features.
Build event-driven, cloud-native services on AWS.
Integrate with third-party platforms and external APIs at scale.
Own features end-to-end: design, implementation, testing, deployment, and iteration.
Collaborate closely with product and engineering leadership to shape technical direction.
Participate actively in code reviews, design discussions, and operational improvements.
What We’re Looking For
5+ years of professional software engineering experience.
Strong backend experience with modern dotnet in production.
Working proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript and Python.
Experience designing and operating distributed or event-driven systems.
Experience building and consuming APIs (REST and/or GraphQL).
Familiarity with AWS-based, cloud-native infrastructure.
Strong fundamentals: system design, data modeling, testing, and observability.
Ability to work independently while communicating clearly and proactively in a remote environment.
Curiosity about AI-powered systems, even if AI is not your primary background.
Our Engineering Environment
Modern .NET (9+)— primary backend platform
Python — integrations and AI workflows
TypeScript / JavaScript — APIs, tooling, and frontend surfaces
GraphQL — API layer for internal and external consumers
AWS — primary cloud provider (containerized, managed services)
Terraform — infrastructure as code
Event-driven, agent-oriented architecture (event sourcing, CQRS where appropriate)
CI/CD with automated quality gates and built-in observability
Selective frontend work with Next.js and React (optional)
How We Work
We are a young company with high standards and low bureaucracy.
Our pace is steady and efficient, not chaotic.
Typical ticket turnaround is 1–3 days, with frequent communication.
Engineers are expected to surface problems early and collaborate to resolve them.
We value expertise without ego and strong opinions that are open to challenge.
Success requires comfort with change and continuous improvement.
Not a Good Fit If…
You need constant direction or tightly scripted work.
You prefer long planning cycles and slow feedback loops.
You struggle to communicate clearly in a remote-first environment.
You are uncomfortable owning outcomes end-to-end.
