  • Design, develop, and maintain automated test scripts and reusable validation frameworks using Python.
  • Execute test plans, record test results, and report defects with sufficient evidence for resolution by development teams.
  • Collaborate with Data Engineers to clarify requirements, validate fixes, and ensure successful delivery.
  • Contribute to the continuous improvement of QA processes, automation frameworks, and testing standards.

Required Skills

  • Strong SQL expertise with hands-on experience in BigQuery.
  • Strong Python programming skills for test automation.
  • Experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP), including BigQuery and GCS; exposure to Cloud Composer, Dataflow, or Dataproc is desirable.
  • Strong understanding of ETL/ELT processes, data transformations, and data warehousing concepts.
  • Familiarity with Backend Kafka and API
  • Experience in data validation, reconciliation testing, and regression testing.
  • Familiarity with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing frameworks.

Experience

  • 6  – 10  years of experience in Data QA, ETL Testing, or Data Test Automation.
  • Experience testing cloud-based data engineering solutions, preferably on GCP.

Key Competencies

  • SQL and analytical skills
  • Test automation using Python
  • Defect identification and reporting
  • Problem-solving
  • Collaboration and communication
  • Quality assurance mindset
