## Job description

Filevine is a Legal AI company delivering Legal Operating Intelligence for the future of legal work. Grounded in a singular system of truth, Filevine brings together data, documents, workflows, and teams into one unified platform—where modern legal work happens with clarity and consistency.

Powered by LOIS, the Legal Operating Intelligence System, Filevine connects context across every matter to transform legal operations from reactive to proactive. LOIS reads, understands, and reasons across your data to surface insight, automate complexity, and give professionals the clarity and confidence to see more, know more, and do more. Fueled by a team of exceptional collaborators and innovators, Filevine’s rapid growth has earned AI awards and recognition from Deloitte and Inc. as one of the most innovative and fastest-growing technology companies in the country.

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

Compensation starts at 6,000 EUR per month, with the final offer determined by the candidate’s seniority and experience.

This opportunity is for independent contractors and is not intended to establish an employment relationship. Contractors are responsible for their own taxes and compliance with applicable laws in their jurisdiction.

This role is open exclusively to candidates currently residing in, or willing to relocate to, Czechia or Slovakia with the legal right to work in these countries. Unfortunately, we are unable to consider applications from candidates based outside of these locations due to operational and regulatory requirements
