Job description

About Settify

At Settify, we help lawyers help people. We're an Australian legal technology company working with law firms around the world.

We are a member of the ATI legal technology group, and work closely with the LEAP group of companies which are the leading provider of Legal Practice Management Solutions in the world, with clients across Australia, Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, Poland and New Zealand.

About the product

Settify, an AI-backed technology, helps legal clients in preparing and presenting their personal stories effectively. Whether someone is navigating a family matter or planning a will, taking the first step can feel daunting. Settify helps clients share their story through guided online questions, in their own time. Lawyers arrive at the first meeting with the details they need, ready to focus on the person in front of them. Integrations with practice management software cut down on repeat data entry.

What you'll do

We're building the next generation of Settify, evolving our product using new technologies and new AI capabilities. You'll work closely with developers to shape how we build, deploy and run it, with ownership of our AWS infrastructure and deployment pipelines.

You'll bring Settify to new regions and help developers release changes with confidence.

You'll give the team a clearer view of what's happening in production, including how LLM features perform.

To make this happen you will:

• Own and manage our AWS infrastructure. Use infrastructure as code to manage networking, compute, databases and queues, and keep cloud costs sensible.
• Take Settify to new regions. Set up regional environments that are straightforward to deploy, configure and maintain.
• Make deployments easier. Improve CI/CD pipelines so developers can build, test and release changes with confidence, and roll back when needed.
• Make problems easier to spot and fix. Set up useful logs, metrics, traces and alerts, and work with developers to troubleshoot production issues.
• Support LLM features. Set up model access, tracing and evaluation pipelines so developers can test prompt and model changes and see how they perform in production.
• Keep customer data secure. Manage permissions, secrets, encryption and backups as part of everyday operations.
• Cut down on manual work. Build tools, automate repetitive tasks and write clear documentation. Contribute to application code where it makes development and deployment easier.

What you'll bring

• 8+ years in DevOps, SRE, platform or infrastructure engineering.
• AWS preferred, relevant AWS services include EC2, Lambda, SQS, RDS and DynamoDB.
• VPC networking, IAM, access controls and secrets management.
• Docker; ECS or Kubernetes (including EKS).
• CDK or Terraform; CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, deployments and rollbacks.
• Datadog, Grafana/Prometheus or CloudWatch; alerts, production troubleshooting and on-call support.
• TypeScript/Node.js or Python; writing tools, testing and code review.

Even better if you have;

• LLM services: Amazon Bedrock or similar; API integration, rate limits, retries and timeouts.
• LLM observability and evaluation: Langfuse or similar; tracing, token usage, cost and latency monitoring, and evaluation pipelines.
• Regional deployments: Setting up and deploying applications in new cloud regions.
• Developer tooling: Tools and scripts that make local setup, testing and deployments easier.
• Product engineering: Shipping application features; SaaS, LegalTech or early-stage team experience.
• Product observability and analytics: PostHog or similar.

You enjoy solving problems with others, sharing what you know and learning along the way. You communicate clearly and follow things through, with a practical approach that makes life easier for your teammates and the people using our product.

You are the type of person who embodies these traits

• Communication: You are concise in your verbal and written communication. You collaborate openly and positively.
• Motivation: You are driven to make a real difference through your work. You find genuine joy in seeing users benefit from what you create.
• Pragmatic: You understand the trade-offs between quality and velocity. You consistently strike the right balance.
• Curiosity: You constantly ask the who, what, where, when, and why, seeking deeper understanding and better solutions.

Settify is an inclusive, people-first company committed to breaking down institutional barriers that keep people from reaching their potential. If you meet some, but not all the requirements above, we encourage you to still submit your application.
