FirmPilot is looking for a motivated and detail-oriented engineer to join our Applications Team. If you're passionate about integrations, data pipelines, and learning how real-world systems connect, this is your chance to work with a fast-paced startup building AI-powered marketing technology for law firms.
This role is perfect for a junior-mid level developer ready to take ownership, grow fast, and contribute to meaningful product outcomes from day one.
