About FirmPilot

FirmPilot builds complex, AI-powered automation systems. Reliability and correctness are critical, especially where distributed systems and AI-driven workflows intersect.

We view testing and quality as engineering disciplines, not as a final checkpoint.

The Role

We are hiring a Senior SDET to own and evolve our testing strategy across backend services, APIs, and AI-driven workflows.

This role focuses on engineering quality into the system, not on manual testing or after-the-fact validation.

What You’ll Do
  • Design and implement automated testing frameworks for backend services and APIs.
  • Develop strategies and implement solutions for testing AI-driven workflows, including validating RAG outputs and agent behavior.
  • Develop integration, contract, and end-to-end tests for event-driven systems.
  • Partner with engineers to improve system testability and observability.
  • Define and enforce quality gates in CI/CD pipelines.
  • Identify systemic quality risks before they impact production.
What We’re Looking For
  • 5+ years of experience in test automation or quality engineering.
  • Strong programming experience in TypeScript, Python, or .NET.
  • Experience testing distributed, asynchronous, or event-driven systems.
  • Experience with API testing (REST and GraphQL).
  • Familiarity with AWS-based systems and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Ability to think like both an engineer and a systems-level skeptic.
Our Engineering Environment
  • .NET, Python, TypeScript
  • REST and GraphQL APIs
  • Event-driven architecture
  • AWS, containerized services
  • Terraform for infrastructure
  • CI/CD pipelines with automated quality gates
How We Work
  • Quality is a shared responsibility across engineering.
  • SDETs are peers and collaborators, not gatekeepers
  • We favor early feedback, clear signals, and actionable data.
  • Remote collaboration and clear communication are essential.
Not a Good Fit If…
  • You prefer manual testing over automation.
  • You see quality as a phase rather than a system property.
  • You are uncomfortable challenging design decisions constructively.
  • You need rigid processes to do your best work.

Pursuant to applicable pay transparency requirements, the Company discloses in good faith that the anticipated salary range for this role is $135,000-$162,000
