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.
As a Software Engineer in Automation & Developer Tools at Everlaw, you'll design and build the systems that let every engineer ship with confidence. This is a software engineering role where you'll own distributed test execution and internal tooling as products for our engineering team. We're looking for a strong engineer who believes that great testing is a software design problem, and who wants to make fast, trustworthy feedback loops a competitive advantage as we pursue our mission to promote justice by illuminating truth.

- Designed, built, maintained, tested, and launched cloud-based software
- Led multi-developer efforts, including planning, technical breakdown, and coordination

- Design scalable CI systems (e.g., GitHub Actions, CircleCI) to keep feedback loops short as the codebase grows
- Build internal developer tools that improve developer productivity and shorten iteration cycles
- Tackle reliability problems such as flaky-test detection, test isolation, and environment/data management.
- Drive best practices in testing, observability, and release confidence across the engineering org
- Research and implement new automation approaches - including the use of AI - to stay ahead of industry trends and keep our testing infrastructure cutting-edge.
- Use coverage and failure data to guide where engineering teams invest in testing, and influence architecture so code is testable by design
- Mentor Engineers on test design, tooling, and automation best practices.
- You have a BS or MS in Computer Science, or equivalent coursework.
- You have at least 5 years of professional software engineering experience, including time building or owning testing frameworks, CI systems, or developer tooling.
- You write production-quality code in a language such as C, C++, C#, Java, Python, Javascript, Go or Rust.
- You have designed or significantly improved CI/CD tools, such as GitHub Actions, CircleCI or GitLab, and you care about speed and reliability.
- You have experience building testing strategies across the stack (unit, integration, API, and end-to-end) and know when each is the right tool.
- 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 you enjoy debugging complex problems in distributed systems.
- You are passionate about testing as a core part of how great software gets built.
- 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.
