The Role:

We are seeking a QA Engineer with a strong passion for data quality, performance, and scale to join our Data Platform team.

This role is ideal for a QA professional who enjoys working close to complex data systems, understands large-scale pipelines, and wants to play a key role in shaping the automation and quality strategy of a data engineering organization.

You will act as the primary quality owner for high-volume, mission-critical data platforms, working closely with data engineers, backend developers, and platform teams.

What You’ll Do:

Data Quality & Validation

• Design and execute data validation strategies for large-scale batch and streaming pipelines
• Ensure data correctness, completeness, freshness, and consistency across the data lake
• Define and automate checks for schema changes, data drift, and data quality regressions
  
  

• Plan and execute performance and scalability tests for data pipelines and processing jobs
• Identify bottlenecks across ingestion, transformation, and querying layers
• Partner with engineers to validate performance improvements and prevent regressions
  
  

• Develop and maintain the data team’s QA automation infrastructure
• Build reusable testing frameworks and tools tailored for large datasets and pipelines
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and production monitoring workflows
  
  

• Work closely with data engineers, backend developers, and platform engineers throughout the development lifecycle
• Act as the sole QA owner within a cross-functional team, driving quality without becoming a bottleneck
• Participate in design discussions to ensure testability and observability are built in from the start
  
  

• Champion a quality-first culture within the team
• Clearly communicate risks, findings, and quality metrics to technical stakeholders
• Balance thoroughness with pragmatism in fast-moving, high-scale environments.
  
  

• Proven experience as a QA Engineer, ideally within data-intensive or platform teams
• Hands-on experience testing large-scale systems, pipelines, or distributed architectures
• Experience working as the sole QA in a cross-functional engineering team.
  
  

• Strong understanding of data pipelines and data lake concepts
• Experience validating large datasets and implementing data quality checks
• Familiarity with performance and load testing methodologies
• Experience building test automation frameworks (Python preferred)
• Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and automation best practices.
  
  

• Passion for data, performance, and technology
• Self-driven, independent, and comfortable owning QA end-to-end
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across disciplines
• Curious, proactive, and eager to learn complex systems.
  
  

• Experience testing big data or analytics platforms
• Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS preferred)
• Knowledge of Spark, SQL-based analytics, or data processing frameworks
• Experience with data observability or data quality tools.
  
  

• Competitive compensation and benefits
• Opportunity to work on large-scale, mission-critical data systems
• A highly technical, collaborative team environment
• Real ownership and influence over quality and automation strategy
• Continuous learning and professional growth.
