Role The Platform Quality Engineer is a hands-on engineering role within StarCompliance’s centralised Platform Quality Engineering function, responsible for ensuring platform-level quality assurance across the enterprise SaaS platform.
Reporting to the Lead Quality Architect, the Platform Quality Engineer contributes directly to the design, implementation, and maintenance of automated quality controls that validate cross-service integration, core enterprise user journeys, and non-functional platform characteristics.
