We are seeking a Principal Quality Engineer to serve as the quality authority for our Reporting/BI Engineering domain within the Certent Equity Management (CEM) platform. You will operate across multiple scrum teams, reporting into the QA & Standards organization while partnering directly with Engineering Directors and Product Management.

Key Responsibilities

• Quality Ownership: Architect quality strategies for complex SaaS platforms, moving beyond execution to building systems of quality. You will own Go/No-Go decisions on major releases.
• SQL & Data Accuracy: Design reusable SQL validation frameworks, govern data accuracy test strategy for hierarchical models, and lead performance benchmarking as a platform-level gate.
• Reporting & BI Output Testing: Define end-to-end output fidelity standards for Logi Analytics implementations, manage parameterization strategies, and ensure financial report compliance in regulated environments.
• AI-Augmented Testing: Lead the adoption of AI tooling across test generation, edge case identification, SQL validation authoring, and data synthesis. Drive continuous improvement of AI effectiveness within the QA organization.
• Automation & Security: Govern shared automation frameworks (SQL assertions, API tests), define security testing standards covering injection vulnerabilities and auth boundaries, and ensure robust CI/CD integration via Azure DevOps.

Qualifications

• 9+ years of software quality engineering experience in enterprise SaaS environments with 3+ years at a Senior or Lead capacity.
• Expert-level Oracle SQL and PL/SQL skills including complex joins, window functions, CTEs, recursive queries, performance tuning, and explain plan analysis.
• Proven track record of owning quality outcomes at the platform level, not just driving defect resolution.
• Demonstrated ability to define governance standards for JIRA/Xray, PI planning participation, and executive communication regarding data accuracy findings.
