- Perform advanced SQL-based data validation, reconciliation, and data-quality testing.
- Validate data for accuracy, completeness, consistency, uniqueness, integrity, and schema compliance.
- Test APIs and integrations across data sources, databases, pipelines, and downstream systems.
- Develop and maintain Python/SQL-based test automation for data validation and regression testing.
- Design and execute positive, negative, edge-case, failure, retry, and recovery scenarios across data workflows.
- Investigate data discrepancies and work with Data Engineers, Developers, Analysts,



and Data Scientists to identify root causes and resolve issues.
- Review requirements, technical designs, and data flows to identify QA risks,
dependencies, and coverage gaps early in the development lifecycle.
- Maintain comprehensive test cases, automation suites, defect documentation, test evidence, and release validation for assigned data products.
- Drive continuous improvement of QA processes, data validation frameworks, automation coverage, and overall data quality.

Qualifications:

- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field.
- 5+ years of relevant QA/testing experience, preferably working with Data Engineering, Big Data, or data-intensive applications.
- Strong hands-on experience in ETL/ELT testing, database testing, and data validation.
- Advanced SQL skills, including complex joins, subqueries, CTEs, window functions, aggregations, and data reconciliation.
- Practical experience testing Apache Spark/PySpark data processing workflows.
- Hands-on experience with Databricks and Delta Lake.
- Strong understanding of Big Data concepts, distributed data processing, data pipelines, and data architecture.
- Experience validating Parquet, JSON, CSV, and other structured and semi-structured data formats.
- Strong programming/scripting skills in Python for test automation and data validation.
- Experience with API and integration testing.
- Working knowledge of Linux/Unix environments and shell scripting.
- Understanding of Data Lakes, Lakehouse architecture, Data Warehousing, and ETL/ELT pipelines.
- Experience with Git,



defect management tools, and CI/CD-based testing workflows.
- Experience working in an Agile/Scrum environment.
- Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis skills.
