Role Summary:

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. 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.

Responsibilities

  • 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

    • Qualifications:

  • 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

    • Nice to Have:

  • 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
