Senior Software Engineer, Test

Oakland, California, U.S.

TLDR

Shape automated testing and enhance CI/CD processes as part of a dynamic team in a rapidly growing legal technology company.

As a Software Engineer in Test at Everlaw, you will be a key architect of our quality culture, helping to shape automated testing at legal technology’s fastest-growing SaaS company. You will be responsible for maintaining and improving our CI/CD pipelines, facilitating advanced automation techniques, and serving as a technical mentor for our QA team. We are looking for a proactive engineer who is not just a practitioner of automation, but a visionary—someone always on the lookout for new approaches to ensure our platform remains robust as we pursue our mission to promote justice by illuminating truth.

In this role, you will sit within our Engineering department, acting as a vital bridge between Development and QA. Other engineers become your "users"; building the tooling, templates, and documentation that allow teams to implement and improve automation seamlessly will have a multiplicative impact. By participating in the Testing Guild and conducting thoughtful code reviews, you will ensure that our automation standards remain high and our release cycles stay efficient and reliable.

Getting started

  • We want you to feel like part of the team early on!

[And you’ll spend meaningful time getting to know your direct reports and discover what excites and challenges them.]
  • We’re excited for you to learn, grow, and contribute right away! We trust that you’ll bring experience and knowledge that will uplift and uplevel the team, but we don’t expect you to know everything on Day 1.

In your role, you'll...

  • Maintain and improve existing CI/CD pipelines using tools such as GitHub Actions or CircleCI to ensure seamless automated workflows.
  • Facilitate and expand automation techniques, primarily utilizing Cypress to build robust, scalable test suites.

  • Conduct rigorous code reviews for automation specs, providing feedback that increases test reliability and execution speed.
  • Drive improvements with API testing, integrating API-level checks into our automation harness to increase coverage.
  • Research and implement new automation approaches, staying ahead of industry trends to keep our testing infrastructure cutting-edge.
  • Collaborate with developers to interpret code coverage results and identify strategic areas for new test investment.

About you

  • You have a BS or MS in Computer Science, or equivalent coursework.
  • You have at least 5 years of experience working deeply with Cypress for web application automation.
  • You have proficiency in coding in a language such as C, C++, C#, Java, Python, Javascript, Go or Rust.
  • You have demonstrated expertise in using CI/CD tools such as GitHub Actions, CircleCI or GitLab to create and manage workflows.
  • You are experienced in API testing and understand how to validate data across different layers of an application.
  • You have a mentorship mindset and enjoy helping others grow their technical capabilities with Cypress and other automation techniques.
  • You are a proactive problem-solver who can navigate Linux-based systems and troubleshoot complex automation hurdles.
  • You are authorized to work in the United States without restrictions. Please note that at this time, Everlaw is not sponsoring employment visas for this role.

Benefits

  • The expected salary range for this role is between $131,000 and $191,000. The final offered salary will be dependent upon many factors including the candidate’s experience and skills. The base pay range is subject to change in the future.
