Experience :

- 3 to 5 years of experience in QA automation, with a strong focus on testing data pipelines, ETL/ELT processes, and data quality validation across platforms such as Oracle, SQL Server, and Snowflake.

- Proven experience in leading small teams or mentoring junior engineers.

Technical Skills :

- Strong expertise in QA practices for data platforms, including designing automated quality frameworks, validating data pipelines, and risk-based testing.

- Proficiency in automated testing strategies, TestRail for test management, Snowflake QA automation features, and scripting/CI/CD tools to maintain system accuracy and efficiency.

- Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills to quickly isolate defects and drive process improvements.

- Effective communication and collaboration skills to work closely with Product Owners, Delivery Coaches, Engineering, and business stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities :

Design and Develop Automated Data Quality Tests :

- Build reusable automated tests to validate data ingestion, transformations, and loading across Oracle, SQL Server, and Snowflake.

- Verify data integrity, completeness, schema conformity, and business logic through all layers from raw landing zone to curated data products.

Ensure End-to-End Data Pipeline Validation :

- Automate testing for ETL/ELT processes, including data staging, cleansing, fact and dimension population, and final consumption layers.

- Monitor transformations and data flows across platforms (Oracle Snowflake, SQL Server Snowflake, etc.

Leverage Snowflake-Specific Testing Capabilities :

- Utilize Snowflake's native SQL features (e.g., streams, tasks, time travel, variant types) in test development.

- Automate regression and functional testing for Snowflake data models, stored procedures, and materialized views.

Build and Maintain a Cross-Platform Test Framework :

- Extend or integrate automation frameworks compatible with Oracle, SQL Server, and Snowflake.

- Apply data validation tools to verify transformation accuracy.

Utilize TestRail for Test Case Management :

- Design, document, and maintain test cases and test plans in TestRail.

- Track execution, report defects, and ensure traceability across automated and manual test cases.

Collaborate Across Data Engineering and Modeling Teams :

- Work with data engineers, modelers, and analysts to define test criteria for ingestion jobs, business logic, and reporting outputs.

- Provide early feedback on development tickets and participate in code reviews.

Support CI/CD and Test Automation in Production Pipelines :

- Integrate automated tests into CI/CD workflows.

- Validate data integrity during production releases, schema updates, and migrations.

Develop Monitoring and Alerting for Data Quality :

- Implement anomaly detection and alerting for critical pipelines (e.g., volume drops, schema drift, business rule violations).

- Create dashboards or automated reports for monitoring data quality trends.

Ensure Test Coverage, Reusability, and Documentation :

- Maintain reusable and version-controlled test suites across platforms.

- Document test strategies, data quality standards, and platform-specific practices.
