Role
Who you are
- The ideal engineer is equally at home driving rigorous backend and API testing, validating customer-facing applications, and inventing new approaches to test systems that resist conventional, UI-driven automation
- 7+ years working as a software engineer or test automation engineer
- Expert in an object oriented language such as C# or Java
- Complete understanding of the application development life cycle
- Expert knowledge of QA testing techniques and the STLC
- Expert experience testing REST web services
- Expert at testing backend-heavy services where little or no user interface is available to drive testing
- Demonstrated ability to design and build custom test tooling and harnesses for systems that are difficult to exercise through conventional automation, including asynchronous and event-driven services
- Practical experience applying GenAI/LLMs to solve engineering productivity, test generation, and analysis challenges
- Experience with stress and load testing tools and techniques
Desirable
- Experience testing telephony, VoIP, or other real-time communication systems
- Experience testing AI-driven, conversational, or agent-based applications
- Familiarity with modern front-end frameworks
- Expert understanding of advanced techniques such as stubbing and mocking
- Expert understanding of source control systems (GitLab) and CI/CD pipelines
- Expert understanding of automated testing frameworks such as Playwright
What the job involves
- Filevine's Telephony team builds the voice communication capabilities that keep our customers connected to the information and people who matter most to their concerns
- The platform spans a range of surfaces, from deep backend services and integrations to customer-facing applications and intelligent, AI-driven voice experiences
- We are looking for a Senior SDET to own quality across this full breadth
- This is a backend-leaning, tooling-heavy role for an engineer who wants to solve hard testing problems and raise the quality bar for the entire team, not simply execute existing test plans
- Design and write test plans and automated test scripts across backend services, APIs, and customer-facing applications
- Analyze and improve the scalability, performance, and efficiency of the testing pipeline
- Design and implement automated test frameworks
- Build solutions to aid in automated and load testing
- Responsibly drive complex projects forward to completion
- Exercise independent judgment
- Make informed recommendations to management
- Provide leadership and mentoring to other engineers
- Independently identify opportunities for automated testing at different levels (End to End, Integration, UI, etc.) and possible solutions
- Communicate frequently, clearly, and effectively with various technical and management audiences on usability, serviceability, and suggested changes
Our take
Law firms, corporate legal teams and government agencies are under increasing pressure to handle more work, more data and tighter timelines, all without increasing costs. As a result, demand is growing for legal technology that can automate routine tasks, organize complex information and also help laywers work faster and more accurately. AI has become a key part of this change, and today it's hard to find interest in legal tech that doesn't have AI at its core.
Filevine is a good example of how this shift is playing out, Founded in 2014, the company began as a software-as-a-service platform helping legal teams manage cases, documents, billing and payments in one place. Over time though, Filevine has expanded into what it now calls a Legal Operating Intelligence System, bringing intelligence into the full lifecycle of a legal matter. And in recent years, the focus has moved strongly toward AI, as most of the company's revenue comes from its AI products rather than from its original software.
This growth shows just how well its aligned with where the market is heading, and with $400M from major investors, it continues to expand its platform, adding AI tools that connect across legal workflows. By bringing together case management, depositions, contracts and drafting into a single system, Filevine has positioned itself as a central operating platform for modern legal teams.
