Filipe Augusto made his professional debut on 29 February 2012, coming on as a substitute for Magno Cruz in a 5–1 home win against Camacari Futebol Clube for the Campeonato Baiano championship. He appeared in two further games during the tournament, as the Tricolor were crowned champions.

On 1 September 2014, Filipe Augusto moved to Valencia CF from Spain in a season-long loan deal, alongside manager Nuno Espirito Santo. His maiden La Liga appearance took place 21 days later, in a 3–0 win at Getafe CF where he replaced Dani Parejo in the 80th minute.
