About this role
About the Role We are seeking an infrastructure-focused Senior Technical Product Manager to lead the development of Filevine's document processing platform that powers our core legal practice management app and AI-driven features. You will own the end-to-end data management system across document storage, content extraction, indexing, chunking, embedding, and multi-modal search, partnering with engineering teams to ship reliable, scalable platform capabilities for LOIS AI experiences. What You'll Do
- Platform & Search Ownership: Define the platform vision and develop a comprehensive understanding of architecture, capabilities, and limitations across owning/consuming teams, translated into a clear strategy and prioritized roadmap.
- Technical Requirements: Partner with platform engineers to define requirements, constraints, and success criteria for platform investments, including OCR pipelines, chunking strategies, indexing technologies, embedding and vector storage, and related infrastructure.
- Document Infrastructure: Collaborate with backend engineering, infrastructure, and data science to drive efficiency, improve consistency, simplify processing, and align document management functionality with the broader platform.
- Feature Enablement: Own the adoption and migration strategy for platform functionality, working through influence, demonstrated value, and consensus-building to drive teams toward shared solutions. Collaborate with peer PMs responsible for AI-powered and traditional user-facing features to ensure platform capabilities support new product requirements.
- Data-Driven Optimization & Metrics: Monitor, analyze, and optimize performance, latency, cost-to-serve, and core engineering metrics. In collaboration with machine learning engineers, track AI platform outcomes, including data extraction accuracy, ingestion throughput, indexing latency, and search precision/recall.
- Evangelism & Mentorship: Proactively build awareness of document platform capabilities across the organization. Mentor Associate and mid-level Product Managers in technical product processes, data-driven decision making, and infrastructure leadership. What We're Looking For
- Experience: 5+ years of software product management experience in SaaS, with a proven track record of responsibility for technically complex products or platforms. Candidates with fewer years but strong relevant domain experience (e.g., document management systems, search and indexing infrastructure, RAG or LLM pipelines, or legal technology) will be given serious consideration.
- Technical Depth: Demonstrated knowledge of software development methodologies and sufficient technical fluency to engage substantively with engineers on topics like document processing pipelines, full-text and vector search, or content extraction, with particular value placed on shipping data-heavy or AI/ML-adjacent features responsibly and securely at scale.
- Platform Leadership: Comfort operating in a complex, multi-team environment and experience managing platform or shared-service products where adoption is driven by value rather than mandate, including the ability to build consensus across teams, navigate competing priorities, and manage complex cross-team migrations.
- Analytical Mindset: Strong analytical skills and a data-driven mindset, experience defining and tracking core product outcomes (adoption, accuracy, user confidence) along with the ability to identify where platform investment creates compounding leverage versus where it introduces unnecessary constraints or overhead.
- Execution & Agility: Strong experience working within Agile/Lean delivery frameworks, with an emphasis on technical experimentation, iteration, and continuous system enhancement.
- Communication Skills: Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to translate highly complex technical tradeoffs and AI concepts into clear narratives for both engineering teams and non-technical stakeholders. Nice-to Have
- Prior product management experience in Legal Tech, Legal AI, or adjacent compliance-heavy industries, particularly in areas touching document discovery, production, practice management, or other document-dense applications.
- Direct familiarity or hands-on experience with one or more of the following: scaled distributed document processing or management systems; Opensearch, Elasticsearch or comparable indexing and search technologies; OCR and content extraction pipelines; vector databases and embedding strategies; generative AI context engineering; hybrid search architectures.
