About the Role
Custom Objects Team in HighLevel form the backbone of our data extensibility platform, enabling users to model and manage data beyond standard CRM entities like Contacts, Opportunities, and Appointments. They power a wide range of use cases from custom CRMs and booking systems to project management and reporting. They are also deeply integrated across our ecosystem, including Pipelines, Forms, Triggers, APIs, and Workflows.
As an SDET for Custom Objects, you’ll be validating complex relational data models, API interactions, and UI-driven configurations that define these objects. You’ll ensure scalability, reliability, and data consistency across interconnected modules. This is a highly impactful role that involves testing across dynamic schema-driven systems and collaborating closely with product, backend, and frontend teams to maintain seamless platform interoperability.
