Software Engineer (Core Platform)

Remote, USA

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.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
