Your Impact

Documents are a central concept of the law and in legal tech. Storing, retrieving, organizing, indexing, and searching terabytes of documents for our customers is a major portion of the technical foundation for our business. The volume and complexity of those activities, as well as the amount of data is always increasing. We are developing the next level of capabilities and abstractions to automate the scale of this subsystem. Doing so will have a massive impact on our ability to serve customers, deliver features, and scale our platform.

What You'll Do

  • Define infrastructure automation strategy for highly scalable and crazy performant search systems
  • Identify capabilities and abstractions needed  to satisfy required performance and scalability targets through automated, zero-downtime data and infrastructure management.
  • Build and maintain roadmap and architecture for realizing those abstractions and capabilities.
  • Lead software and systems development for that roadmap.
  • Contribute leadership, understanding and lessons learned to the greater DISCO platform in these areas.
  • Recruit, hire and mentor other architects and engineers to accomplish the above.

Who You Are

  • 10+ years of relevant experience
  • Ability to create and communicate systems architectures including Domain-Driven Design, Jobs to Be Done, architectural patterns, and diagramming techniques
  • Mastery of infrastructure automation such as Terraform, Cloudformation, Chef, Puppet, etc.

  • Fluency in one or more cloud providers such as AWS, GCP, or Azure (AWS preferred)
  • Experience operating datastores at scale, such as: ElasticSearch, NoSql Stores, Kafka, Columnar Databases, DataFlow or Pipeline Systems, Graph DataStores.
  • Experience operating systems at scale including observability and site reliability
  • Experience using Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) with an emphasis on a well-maintained testing pyramid.
  • Experience with multiple software stacks, have opinions and preferences, and not be married to a specific stack.

Even Better If You Have…

  • Advanced degree in computer science, software engineering, or similar
  • Experience managing a team of direct reports
  • Experience designing, modifying, and operating multi-tenant systems.
  • An understanding of how to design and develop from a Security Perspective.
  • An understanding of how to identify, select, and extend 3rd Party Components (Commercial or Open Source) that provide operational leverage but does not constrain our product and engineering creativity.

DISCO's Technology Stack

  • Cloud Provider - AWS: EC2, Lambda, Aurora, Redshift, DynamoDB, ECS, EKS, SQS, SNS, Kinesis, S3, CloudFront, CloudFormation, SageMaker, KMS, CodePipeline, etc.
  • DSL-based Search: multiple large-scale Elasticsearch Clusters searched using our Disco Query Language (DQL)
  • Event Bus: Kafka and Schema Registry
  • 3rd Party Vendors: Redis, Auth0 for Cloud Identity Federation (SSO, SAML, etc)

Perks of DISCO
