Job Description

Staff Site Reliability Engineer at Filevine shaping engineering culture and driving reliability practices. Leading technical standards and mentorship within a remote engineering team focused on legal AI technology.

Responsibilities:

  • As a Staff Site Reliability Engineer at Filevine, you are the senior technical authority on the SRE team and a strategic partner to engineering leadership.
  • You don’t just maintain systems — you shape engineering culture, define the technical standard for how Filevine runs in production, and bridge the gap between high-level business goals and robust, internet-scale technical execution.
  • You own the roadmap across two critical SRE domains — Observability & Alerting and Platform Infrastructure — and are accountable for ensuring the team solves reliability problems permanently rather than absorbing them as toil.
  • You operate as the senior IC counterpart to the Engineering Manager: technical correctness lives with you.
  • You partner with the Reliability Architect and engineering leadership on significant technical decisions, mentor engineers across experience levels, and influence reliability strategy across the broader organization.
  • Reliability at Filevine protects revenue.
  • You are the senior technical voice responsible for ensuring that uptime, incident response, and every production change meet the operational standard the business demands.

Requirements:

  • 12+ years of experience in software engineering, infrastructure, platform engineering, or SRE, including 6+ years in SRE and 3+ years leading complex, cross-functional technical initiatives for distributed production systems.
  • Expert-level depth in observability and platform infrastructure, with broad expertise in incident response, capacity planning, automation, and reliability engineering.
  • Advanced experience with a major container-orchestration platform, preferably Kubernetes, and an observability platform such as New Relic, Datadog, or equivalent.
  • Strong software-engineering ability in Python, Go, Bash, or another general-purpose language, with experience building production tooling, automation, or platform capabilities.
  • Proven ability to mentor engineers and communicate technical risk clearly to engineering, product, and executive audiences.
  • Experience in a regulated environment such as FedRAMP, CJIS, HIPAA, SOC 2, or PCI is strongly preferred.

Benefits:

  • Medical, Dental, & Vision Insurance (for full-time employees)
  • Competitive & Fair Pay
  • Maternity & paternity leave (for full-time employees)
  • Short & long-term disability
  • Opportunity to learn from a dedicated leadership team
  • Top-of-the-line company swag
