Job description

What is it like to be a Data Quality Engineer (Contract) at Northbridge Financial

Northbridge Financial is looking for an experienced Data Quality Engineer with 7+ years of hands‑on experience in Data Quality, Data Warehouse testing, and ETL validation. The ideal candidate will possess strong technical expertise, lead a team of data quality engineers, and collaborate with cross‑functional stakeholders to ensure the accuracy, completeness, and reliability of enterprise data platforms.

The role requires a deep understanding of modern data ecosystems, data quality automation, and the ability to work in Agile environments while supporting business‑critical reporting and analytics initiatives. This role is a contract position.

If you are great at:

• Leading and mentoring a team of Data Quality Engineers, providing technical guidance, code reviews, and best practices.
• Define and implement enterprise-wide data quality strategies for Data Warehouse and cloud data platforms.
• Analyze business requirements and translate them into comprehensive data validation scenarios and test strategies.
• Validate end-to-end ETL/ELT data pipelines to ensure data accuracy, integrity, and completeness.
• Design, develop, and maintain automated data quality and regression testing frameworks.
• Perform source-to-target validation, reconciliation, transformation testing, and data profiling.
• Collaborate closely with Business Analysts, Data Engineers, Product Owners, and business stakeholders to clarify requirements and resolve data quality issues.
• Coordinate with internal engineering teams to ensure timely delivery of high‑quality data solutions.
• Identify root causes of data issues and work with development teams to drive permanent resolutions.
• Participate in Agile ceremonies including sprint planning, backlog refinement, stand‑ups, reviews, and retrospectives.
• Establish data quality metrics, dashboards, and governance practices to continuously monitor data health.
• Support release validation, production deployments, and post‑release data verification.

If you have:

• Bachelor’s degree, Diploma or Certificate in Computer Science, other related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
• 7+ years of hands‑on experience in Data Quality Engineering, ETL/Data Warehouse testing, or related data engineering roles.
• Proven experience leading or mentoring a team of Data Quality or QA professionals.
• Strong experience working in Agile software development environments.

We really mean it when we say we put you first. Here are a few ways how:

• We have a flexible hybrid model that allows you to work from home up to 2 days per week, with added flexibility for when you really need it.
• We help you prioritize your well‑being from day one through flexible health benefits, early leave days, wellness programs, rewards, and recognition programs.
• We are invested in helping you grow in your career through education assistance, internal mobility, and mentoring programs.
• NBFC cares about the community and supports the causes you believe in with donation matching and team volunteer days.

We’re committed to pay transparency and fairness. The hourly range for this role is 60-65 $/hr which reflects the expected base pay – not the total compensation package. The actual rate may vary depending on your experience, skills, and alignment with the position. We’re also open to candidates at different levels, so if this range doesn’t quite match your expectations, don’t let that hold you back - we’d still love to hear from you.

This is a real opportunity — we’re actively hiring! Beyond base pay, we offer a robust Total Rewards program that includes benefits, wellness support, and other meaningful perks.

We also want to be transparent about our hiring process.

While one of our systems includes AI capabilities, over 99% of our screening is done by real people. We believe in thoughtful, human-centered hiring decisions, and are committed to giving every application the attention it deserves.
