Senior QA Engineer (Data Platform Testing)

Experian; Hyderabad; On-site; INR 800,000 - 1,300,000; Full time

Job summary

Experian is seeking an experienced Automated Tester to build and evolve a scalable automation capability across APIs, data pipelines, and our graph-based identity platform.

The role covers CI/CD gating, data and contract validation, and end-to-end API testing within AWS. You will ensure the platform meets quality, compliance, and operational standards.

Qualifications

• Experience designing, implementing and maintaining automated tests for APIs, data workflows and graph components.
• Experience integrating automated suites into CI/CD with gated releases and quality checks.
• Familiarity with identity platforms, data quality monitoring and governance requirements.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain automated test suites across API, data workflow, and graph components, integrating them into CI/CD pipelines with quality gates (unit, static analysis/security, data quality, contract/compliance, and final integrity checks).
• Own CI/CD quality enforcement, including gated releases, automated evidence of test results, and publish blocks when validation fails (e.g., consent, schema, integrity, scoring).
• Develop automated contract and compliance checks, including schema validation, required fields mapping, TCF/consent validation, and PII-risk checks aligned to governance requirements.
• Build and execute automated end-to-end API tests using tools such as Bruno, Insomnia, or Postman, validating API behavior through API Gateway, Lambda integrations, and downstream data/graph operations.
• Build data quality monitors (nulls/ranges, volume deltas, distribution checks) and statistical tests suited to identity clusters; operationalize them as part of routine runs.

Job description

Overview

We are looking for an experienced Automated Tester to build and evolve a robust, scalable automation capability across APIs, data pipelines, and our graph-based identity platform. This role spans CI/CD gating, automated data and contract validation, graph integrity testing, performance and regression testing, and full end-to-end API testing within AWS. The successful candidate will ensure that our identity platform consistently meets quality, compliance, and operational standards.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain automated test suites across API, data workflow, and graph components, integrating them into CI/CD pipelines with quality gates (unit, static analysis/security, data quality, contract/compliance, and final integrity checks).
• Own CI/CD quality enforcement, including gated releases, automated evidence of test results, and publish blocks when validation fails (e.g., consent, schema, integrity, scoring).
• Develop automated contract and compliance checks, including schema validation, required fields mapping, TCF/consent validation, and PII-risk checks aligned to governance requirements.
• Build and execute automated end-to-end API tests using tools such as Bruno, Insomnia, or Postman, validating API behavior through API Gateway, Lambda integrations, and downstream data/graph operations.
• Build data quality monitors (nulls/ranges, volume deltas, distribution checks) and statistical tests suited to identity clusters; operationalize them as part of routine runs.

Qualifications

• Drift detection and score distribution monitoring for identity resolution outcomes; alerting on behavioural/statistical shifts.
• Consent and governance checks that mirror operational policies (e.g., consent-only processing at node/edge level, version-controlled thresholds).
• Prior testing experience with identity resolution / data science / probabilistic systems—including calibration/threshold validation and explainability.
• Familiarity with observability (alerts, dashboards) to uphold guardrails on performance, resilience, and cost visibility.
• Python, Data testing, API Testing, Reporting, Automation
• Strong CI/CD automation with gated release controls and the ability to block publication when gates fail (e.g., consent, integrity, scoring). Experience integrating automated suites into Harness CI/CD tool.

Nice-to-have Experience

• Data-driven SaaS platforms; regulated data processing environments
• Contract-testing frameworks (e.g., Pact) and property-based testing approaches
• Cloud observability stacks (e.g., CloudWatch/OpenSearch/Grafana) for pipeline and API SLOs
