But our secret weapon? Our people. It’s the curiosity, dedication, and innovation that drive our success and help us anticipate the future.\nPosition Summary \nThe Staff Software Quality Assurance Engineer is a senior individual contributor who provides cross-team technical leadership for quality engineering across the Entrust Agentic Trust solution. The role defines automation architecture and risk-based quality strategies for a multi-tenant software as a service (SaaS) platform, ensuring capabilities remain secure, reliable, robust, and scalable under demanding production conditions.\nWorking with Product, the Platform Architect, Software Development, Security, and Cloud Operations, this role remains deeply hands-on while establishing reusable test frameworks and quality practices across the Identity, Authority, Execution, and Assurance planes. The Staff Engineer owns complex quality challenges spanning services and build tracks, leads systemic improvements, and influences release decisions through clear evidence of product risk and readiness.\nKey Responsibilities\nOwn cross-team quality strategy, automation architecture, and risk-based coverage for distributed, multi-tenant SaaS services, APIs, SDKs, and integration surfaces.\nDesign and implement reusable automation frameworks, test libraries, service simulators, and deterministic test-data capabilities that support parallel execution and maintainable coverage.\nEmbed automated unit, integration, contract, API, end-to-end, and regression testing into CI/CD pipelines; establish actionable quality gates and reduce flaky tests and feedback time.\nLead performance and scalability validation through workload modeling, load, stress, spike, soak, and capacity testing; assess latency, throughput, resource consumption, and tenant fairness against agreed service objectives.\nDefine robustness and resilience testing for dependency failures, network disruption, retries, timeouts, recovery, concurrency, and partial outages; validate graceful degradation and fail-open or fail-closed behavior against approved policies.\nPartner with Security and Architecture to validate identity, delegated authorization, tenant isolation, evidence integrity, replay, continuous authentication, and content provenance, including negative and boundary scenarios.\nEstablish production-representative test environments and synthetic or approved de-identified data practices; validate upgrades, backward compatibility, migrations, and rollback readiness.\nLead complex defect investigations using logs, traces, metrics, and reproducible experiments; drive cross-team root-cause analysis and systemic prevention.\nDefine quality reporting that makes coverage, escaped defects, automation reliability, performance risks, and release readiness transparent without relying solely on test pass rates.\nMentor quality and software engineers, lead test-design reviews, and create reusable guidance that strengthens quality ownership across development teams.\nRequired Qualifications\nBachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.\n10+ years of professional software quality engineering or software development experience, including hands-on automation and cross-team technical leadership.\nAdvanced programming skills in at least one modern language and demonstrated experience designing scalable, maintainable automation frameworks rather than relying only on record-and-playback tools.\nDeep experience testing cloud-native SaaS platforms at scale, including distributed systems, APIs, asynchronous workflows, multi-tenancy, and production operations.\nDemonstrated expertise in performance, scalability, and resilience testing, including realistic workload design, bottleneck analysis, and interpretation of production telemetry.\nStrong knowledge of CI/CD, containers, test-environment orchestration, test-data management, service virtualization, and automated quality gates.\nAbility to lead ambiguous technical initiatives across teams, communicate risk clearly, and influence architectural and release decisions without positional authority.\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience with identity, PKI, cryptography, OAuth 2.x, mTLS, workload identity, HSM-backed services, authorization, or tamper-evident evidence systems.\nExperience with Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, fault injection, chaos testing, and high-availability SaaS architectures.\nExperience with Chaos Monkey or equivalent fault-injection tooling to validate SaaS resilience, recovery, and service continuity under simulated infrastructure failures.\nFamiliarity with agentic AI, MCP, nondeterministic workflows, continuous authentication, or content provenance testing.\nExperience producing traceable verification evidence for regulated or security-sensitive products and third-party assurance requirements.\nAt Entrust, we don’tjust offer jobs - we offer career journeys.
