Position Summary

The Lead SIT Engineer is a purely technical role with no people management responsibilities. This position combines deep hands-on testing with technical leadership — personally designing and executing integration tests, writing API-level test cases, and driving root-cause analysis, while also setting the technical direction for the SIT team, mentoring peers, and coordinating with Development and Product Management to keep quality gates on track. The ideal candidate thrives in a role where they are both an individual contributor and a technical anchor for the team.
