Software Engineer, Platform
As a Software Engineer on the Platform team at Everlaw, you will be instrumental in developing and maintaining the infrastructure that provides real-time visibility into our platform's performance. This role involves working across the entire telemetry stack—from core libraries in Java and Python to ingestion pipelines, dashboards, and alerting systems—to ensure our engineering teams can effectively monitor and troubleshoot production environments. Your contributions will directly impact the reliability and efficiency of Everlaw's services, supporting our mission to promote justice by illuminating truth.
In this position, your primary responsibilities will include building and maintaining log, metric, and alert infrastructure across both commercial and federal environments using tools such as Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus, and PagerDuty. You will develop reusable libraries and integrations in Java and Python to facilitate structured logging, metrics, and tracing for our services. Additionally, you will manage infrastructure as code with Terraform, ensuring that dashboards, alert rules, and telemetry pipelines are versioned, reviewable, and reproducible. Your role will also involve enhancing our observability architecture by designing scalable telemetry solutions and incorporating emerging AI tools as Everlaw continues to grow. Furthermore, you will support regulatory and compliance efforts by maintaining thorough documentation aligned with FedRAMP and data-handling requirements.
To be successful in this role, you should have at least 2 years of professional software engineering experience in building, testing, and operating production systems within a cloud environment, preferably AWS. Proficiency in programming languages such as Java, Go, or Python is essential, along with hands-on experience with observability tools for logging, metrics, or alerting, including Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus, InfluxDB, Splunk, or PagerDuty. Experience with infrastructure as code and container technologies, such as Terraform, Docker, Ansible, or Helm, is also required. Strong communication skills are necessary to clearly convey technical concepts and navigate ambiguity by breaking large projects into clear milestones. Please note that this role requires authorization to work in the United States; at this time, Everlaw is not sponsoring U.S. employment visas for this position.
The expected salary range for this role is between $150,000 and $190,000 annually. Final salary will depend on factors including the candidate's experience and skills. This role is also eligible for equity and a comprehensive benefits package, which includes health, dental, and vision coverage, flexible spending accounts for health and dependent care expenses, membership to Modern Health to support mental health and wellness, paid parental leave, and company-sponsored life and disability insurance. Additionally, Everlaw offers a 401(k) plan with company matching of up to 4% of eligible annual compensation.
Everlaw fosters a collaborative and innovative work environment where engineers are encouraged to explore the entire system and work with significant autonomy across the stack. The company values self-driven engineers who are passionate about their craft, write clean software, and use the right tools for the job. As Everlaw continues to grow, there are ample opportunities for professional development and career advancement. Joining Everlaw means becoming part of a team dedicated to transforming legal tech with software and AI, helping customers find the truth in millions of documents.
