  • Validate data integrity, completeness, and consistency across enterprise reporting environments.
  • Document, track, and manage defects while partnering with development teams to drive timely resolution.
  • Support quality assurance efforts for enterprise dashboards, reports, and analytics solutions.
  • Maintain testing documentation, traceability matrices, and regression test coverage.
  • Participate in Agile ceremonies and contribute to continuous improvement of QA processes and testing standards.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to improve overall data quality and platform reliability.

QUALIFICATIONS
  • Five or more years of experience testing enterprise data platforms, data warehouses, or large-scale analytics environments.
  • Hands-on experience validating Databricks environments and enterprise data quality solutions.
  • Strong SQL skills, including complex joins, Common Table Expressions (CTEs), data reconciliation, and data validation techniques.
  • Experience testing ETL/ELT pipelines, data integration workflows, or enterprise warehouse loads.
  • Experience analyzing, cleansing, and validating large datasets.
  • Experience developing structured test plans, regression test suites, and test documentation.
  • Experience using Jira or similar test and defect management tools.
  • Solid understanding of Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and Agile/Scrum methodologies.
  • Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with technical and business stakeholders.
  • High attention to detail and commitment to delivering high-quality software solutions.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE
  • Experience supporting enterprise data quality initiatives.
  • Familiarity with Medallion Architecture or layered data platform designs.
