About the Role
Filevine's Immigration AI team owns the platform immigration practices use to prepare and manage their clients' cases. The team is expanding the product to deliver the capabilities our customers are asking for, and is building out both the engineering foundation and the feature set to get there.
We are looking for a senior-level SDET to own quality across this work. 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. 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.

Provide leadership, mentoring, and excellent judgment by being responsible for
Writing and identifying test cases
Setting up of test environments
Designing test plans
Developing test cases/scenarios based on usage cases
Executing manual and automated tests
Assisting in the design and implementation of automated test frameworks
Performing expert code reviews
Identifying opportunities for automated testing at different levels (unit, integration, UI, etc)
Work within the assigned team to complete duties as assigned, while mentoring, training, and reviewing more junior engineers.
Communicate frequently, clearly, and effectively with various technical and management audiences on usability and serviceability and suggested changes
Analyze and improve the scalability, performance, and efficiency of the testing pipeline
Build solutions to aid in automated and load testing
Qualifications:
8+ 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
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
Expert understanding of advanced techniques such as stubbing and mocking
Expert understanding of source control systems and CI/CD Pipelines
