We are seeking a Senior Quality Assurance Engineer to drive the testing strategy and execution for our API governance and integrations platform. In this role, you will act as a quality advocate from both a product development and a platform engineering perspective.

Governance Assurance: Mandate and verify API governance processes, ensuring all new and updated APIs strictly comply with MSI ecosystem standards before deployment.

Sprint Execution: Lead day-to-day sprint validation, partnering with Product Owners and Developers to define clear acceptance criteria and ensure seamless feature delivery.

Documentation & Runbooks: Maintain and review structural and user documentation, ensuring developer portals, API specifications (OpenAPI/Swagger), and QA runbooks are accurate and up to date.

CI/CD Integration: Integrate automated test suites directly into CI/CD pipelines (mostly GitHub Actions) to block non-compliant code from reaching production.

Mentorship: Act as the subject matter expert on software quality, guiding mid-level engineers and cross-functional teams on testing best practices.
