• Own the quality strategy for OIG — test approach, coverage model, automation architecture, environments, and release readiness — aligned to the pillar's goals
• Lead, grow, and retain a distributed team of quality engineers and SDETs; own team calibration and promotion planning, and drive recruiting as hiring manager
• Coach engineers on growth with timely, actionable feedback, and delegate without creating bottlenecks or hero culture
• Drive automation strategy across API, integration, and UI layers, converting manual regression into deterministic CI/CD gates
• Own the quality signal — escaped defects, coverage, flaky rate, time-to-detect — and use it to drive release decisions
• Lead scale and data-integrity testing for large-tenant campaigns, bulk entitlement operations, and high-volume imports
• Embed quality engineers into architecture and design reviews so testability and risk analysis shape the product early
• Track your team's investment mix, manage expectations across workstreams, and keep the team healthy and out of burnout
• Partner with engineering, product, design, docs, and support; turn escaped defects and RCAs into durable automated coverage

What You'll Bring To The Role

• 10+ years in quality or test engineering, or software engineering with a quality focus, shipping enterprise cloud software
• 4+ years managing engineers, including distributed teams and more than one workstream at a time
• A track record of owning quality strategy for a product area, not just executing test plans
• Hands-on depth in test automation at scale: Java, Python, or TypeScript, plus API (REST, gRPC) and UI automation (Playwright, Selenium, or equivalent)
• Experience with CI/CD (CircleCI or equivalent), containers (Docker, Kubernetes), and a major cloud platform
• Experience testing multi-tenant SaaS, including asynchronous, event-driven systems and data reconciliation between systems
• Comfort making trade-off and risk calls against real constraints, and communicating them clearly
• A record of growing people, including promotions you've built the case for
• Experience recruiting, mentoring, and retaining engineers

And extra credit if you have experience in any of the following!

• Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) — access requests, certifications, entitlement management, separation of duties, or role modeling (Okta, SailPoint, Saviynt, One Identity, Oracle, or in-house)
• Identity and Access Management more broadly: SSO, SCIM provisioning, directory integration, or privileged access
• Testing in a compliance context — SOX, SOC 2, ISO 27001, or FedRAMP — including audit evidence validation
• Performance, scale, or resilience engineering for data-heavy enterprise workloads
• Managing managers or tech leads
