Role Overview

The Senior Software Development Engineer designs, architects, builds, and leads delivery of enterprise applications and shared platform capabilities.

The engineer partners with AI Platform Engineering to build agentic workflows that plan, invoke tools, and complete multi-step work for attorneys and business professionals.

Applications and Platforms

  • The technology environment includes Git, JFrog Artifactory, CI/CD, automated testing, observability, Terraform, Bicep, Microsoft Azure, Docker, and Kubernetes.
  • AI capabilities include proprietary LLMs, model gateways, retrieval and hybrid search, vector databases, chat interfaces, agent orchestration frameworks, MCP, and evaluation tooling.
  • Languages and frameworks include C#, .NET, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and Angular or similar front-end technologies.

Application and Architecture Work

  • Build user-facing applications, APIs, services, and enterprise integrations for legal and business workflows.
  • Design scalable applications that consume proprietary LLMs and intelligent agent frameworks.
  • Define technical strategy, lead architecture, drive technical direction, and establish reusable engineering standards.
  • Develop full-stack applications, secure APIs, microservices, middleware, and integration patterns.
  • Lead technical designs, modernization strategies, sprint planning, estimation, and delivery planning.

Agentic Workflow Engineering

  • Design agentic workflows that plan, call tools, and execute multi-step tasks through scoped tool and MCP interfaces.
  • Build state management, retries, checkpointing, safe recovery, and human review or override points for agent runs.
  • Define evaluations and regression tests, instrument agent runs, and optimize quality, latency, cost, and unit economics.
  • Ensure agent activity is auditable and protected against prompt injection, data exfiltration, and unintended actions.

Security and Operations

  • Implement authentication, authorization, auditing, monitoring, data governance, confidentiality, and secure development controls.
  • Monitor application performance, scalability, reliability, user experience, and production agent quality.
  • Lead incident investigations and root cause analyses and improve resiliency, monitoring, and operational maturity.
  • Mentor engineers, lead design reviews, collaborate with stakeholders, and influence technology roadmaps.

Qualifications and Experience

  • Experience with web applications, APIs, microservices, distributed systems, software architecture, and object-oriented design.
  • Experience designing scalable, high-volume systems and leading enterprise-scale cross-functional technical delivery.
  • Experience mentoring engineers, influencing technical direction, and establishing engineering standards.
  • Experience with source control, automated testing, CI/CD, DevOps, and production LLM-backed software.
  • Agent frameworks, MCP, and evaluation harness experience are preferred.
  • Azure application development experience and relevant certifications are preferred.
  • 10+ years of progressive enterprise software design, development, and delivery leadership experience.
  • Bachelor’s degree in a related technical discipline or equivalent experience.

Compensation

  • The annual compensation range is $180,000–$230,000.
  • Salary within the range depends on qualifications and operational considerations.
