We're looking for a Senior SDET to own quality engineering end-to-end. This is a greenfield opportunity — you'll define the strategy, choose the tools, and build the automation infrastructure from scratch. You'll work directly alongside our engineering team as the first quality engineer, so you need to be self-sufficient, opinionated, and driven.
This is an 70/30 role: 70% automation, 30% exploratory and manual testing.
What You'll Do
Design and implement our QA strategy from the ground up
Build and maintain automated test suites across API, UI, and integration layers
Integrate testing into our CI/CD pipelines and own the quality gates
Perform exploratory and manual testing on new features and releases
Define quality metrics and report on them to the wider team
Collaborate with engineers to improve testability at the design stage
Leverage AI-assisted tools to accelerate test creation and coverage
What We're Looking For
• 5+ years in SDET, QA Engineering, or similar
• Strong hands-on experience with modern automation frameworks (Playwright, Cypress, REST Assured, or similar)
• Proficiency in Typescript and Python
• Experience building test infrastructure from scratch — not just inheriting existing frameworks
• Solid understanding of CI/CD and integrating tests into pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.)
• Familiarity with AI-assisted testing tools and an appetite to keep up with the space
• Comfortable working independently without a QA team around them
Nice to Have
C# and/or Java experience is an advantage
Experience with contract testing (Pact or similar)
Performance testing exposure (k6, Locust)
Accessibility testing awareness (WCAG, axe-core)
Temporal.io experience

Filevine Compensation & Benefits Highlights
The following summarizes recurring compensation and benefits themes identified from responses generated by popular LLMs to common candidate questions about Filevine and has not been reviewed or approved by Filevine.
-
Healthcare Strength — Health coverage is described as covering the major bases (medical, dental, vision) and is often framed as decent quality. In some cases, premiums and copays are portrayed as relatively favorable, suggesting tangible value from the plans.
-
Parental & Family Support — Paid parental leave is positioned as a standard, clearly offered benefit. The presence of parental leave alongside disability coverage signals baseline family-support provisions typical of growth-stage tech employers.
-
Fair & Transparent Compensation — Compensation is sometimes framed as fair or reasonable relative to role expectations, with technical roles in particular appearing closer to market-aligned ranges. This creates pockets where pay is perceived as competitive even if not consistently top-of-market across the company.
