FirmPilot

Compensation

Full Description

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. Pursuant to applicable pay transparency requirements, the Company discloses in good faith that the anticipated salary range for this role is $135,000 to $162,000.
