Job Description

Our Client, a Real Estate and Financial Services company, is looking for a Senior Tester for their McLean, VA/Plano, TX location.
 
Responsibilities:
  • Process & Technology Review
  • Assess end-to-end data modeling lifecycle processes (intake, design, review/approval, governance, versioning, publication, change management, and release).
  • Evaluate tooling and integrations (data modeling tools, metadata/catalog, version control, CI/CD, ticketing/work management).
  • Identify gaps, risks, bottlenecks, and control weaknesses; document findings and prioritized recommendations.
  • Review alignment to enterprise standards (naming conventions, modeling patterns, domain boundaries, stewardship, metadata/lineage expectations).
  • Manual Testing
  • Create and execute manual test plans and test cases for key workflows, including: Model creation/updates (conceptual/logical/physical as applicable)
  • Standards validation (naming, datatypes, keys, relationships, referential integrity) Model to-DDL generation and deployment readiness checks
  • Versioning/branching/merging and promotion processes
  • Metadata publishing and verification (catalog/glossary/lineage where applicable) Security and role-based access controls within tools
  • Document test evidence, defects, and remediation recommendations; support triage and retesting.
  • Test Strategy & Automation Roadmap
  • Define a fit-for-purpose testing strategy for data modeling transformation outcomes (quality, governance, velocity, auditability).
  • Identify automation candidates and define what should be automated vs. remain manual.
  • Recommend an automation approach and integration points, potentially including:
  • Automated standards checks (rule-based validation / linting) Model diffing and regression checks across versions
  • CI/CD quality gates for model changes (PR checks, approvals, artifact packaging)
  • Automated verification of model-to-implementation consistency (where feasible) Automated metadata publishing completeness checks
  • Deliver a phased roadmap with dependencies, effort estimates, and measurable success criteria; optionally deliver a proof of concept if in scope.
 
Requirements:
  • 7+ years of experience in data engineering, data architecture, data modeling, QA, or related roles with a strong testing focus.
  • Demonstrated experience testing data/metadata/modeling workflows (beyond application UI testing).
  • Strong knowledge of data modeling concepts: entities/relationships, keys, normalization, dimensional vs. relational patterns, naming/standards.
  • Proven ability to develop test plans, write test cases, and execute structured manual testing with clear documentation.
  • Strong analytical and communication skills; able to produce actionable assessment and roadmap deliverables.
  • Experience with enterprise data modeling tools (e.g., ER/Studio, ERwin, SAP PowerDesigner, Sparx EA, or similar)
  • Familiarity with metadata/catalog/governance platforms (e.g., Collibra, Alation, Informatica, Microsoft Purview).
  • Experience with CI/CD and automation tooling (e.g., GitHub/GitLab, Azure DevOps, Jenkins) and scripting (Python preferred).
  • Experience implementing automated quality checks (rules engines, schema validation, model diffing).
  • Familiarity with common enterprise data platforms (e.g., Snowflake, Databricks, SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL) and DDL deployment patterns.
  • Process analysis and continuous improvement
  • Manual testing discipline and defect management
  • Test strategy development and automation planning
  • Data governance and standards enforcement
  • Stakeholder management across architecture, engineering, governance, and delivery teams
  • Current-state process and technology assessment with prioritized recommendations.
  • Manual test plan, test cases, execution results, and defect log.
  • Future-state testing strategy and test automation roadmap (phased).
  • Recommended KPIs/controls (e.g., standards compliance rate, defect leakage, cycle time, automation coverage).
  • Optional: proof-of-concept automation scripts/pipeline examples (if agreed in scope).
