Filipe Luss was born in Jara do Sul, Santa Catarina. He came from Figueirense FC as an attacking midfielder and played his first European football with AFC Ajax in 2004, and spent one season in the Beloften Eskimos as a reserve. Danny Blind called him up for his first team twice for an Equality Cup match against FC Den Bosch and a UEFA Cup match against AJ Auxerre, but he remained on the bench for both games. Despite not playing in a competitive match, he praised the Dutch club for teaching him tactical aspects of the game as well as supporting his growth by allowing him to train with players like Rafael van der Vaart and Wesley Sneijder.

Filipe Luis was first registered under C.A. Rentistas was a business man who had a relationship with his agent Juan Figer. In August 2005, he was loaned to Real Madrid for the entire season with the B team in Segunda División; the move was not made permanent due to a lack of funding from the Uruguayan club.

Filipe Luz joined Deportivo de La Corua in August 2006, with a buyout clause of $2.2 million. In his first season, he did not have many opportunities in his first season, but his loan was financed for a second year with the same buy-out guarantee.

Filipe Lud in the first half of a 1–2 loss at FC Barcelona for a challenge against Lionel Messi was called off, and teammate Diego Godn was later dismissed. The pair survived manager Diego Simeone's critique, but Filipe Lus was then suspended for three matches. During his time at Vicente Calderón Stadium, he was still an undisputed starter.

Filipe Lus broke the fibula in his left leg during a Europa League match against FC Lokomotiv Moscow, but the 2018 FIFA World Cup is still on the horizon, but he's making a comeback in two months. On June 30, 2019, he completed his second stint at Atlético before his deal came to an end.
