Job description

Job Duties: Roles & Responsibilities

Execute data validation queries to compare:

Source (Yellowbricks / Informatica outputs) vs Target (Databricks / Snowflake / dbt outputs).

Perform:

• Row-count checks between source and target tables.
• Aggregate validations (sums, counts, averages, distinct counts, min/max).
• Sample and cell-level comparisons for critical entities and fields.
• Validate schema consistency (data types, lengths, precision/scale, nullable fields, constraints).
• Log discrepancies, analyze patterns, and work with developers to support root-cause analysis.
• Understand Informatica mappings and workflows and their expected outputs.
• Validate dbt models (staging, core, marts) on Snowflake against legacy Informatica outputs.
• Test Databricks notebooks/jobs that replicate Yellowbricks logic — ensuring correct transformations, joins, filters, and aggregations.
• Validate CDC / incremental loads: new, changed, and deleted records are handled correctly.
• Execute functional tests to verify correct application of business rules after migration.
• Perform regression testing for each migration wave to ensure that previously validated data and flows remain correct.
• Support integration testing across layers:
  • Source → Databricks / Snowflake
  • dbt → Snowflake → downstream reports or extracts
  • Validate downstream outputs (if in scope): reports, extracts, or interfaces that consume migrated data.
• Assist in executing basic performance tests for key queries and jobs (e.g., comparing runtime vs baseline).
• Monitor pipeline runs for job failures, retries, and data volume anomalies.
• Execute test cases, record results, and maintain traceability to requirements.
• Log defects with clear steps, data samples, and evidence (screenshots/SQL) in the defect tracking tool (e.g., JIRA, Azure DevOps).
• Retest resolved defects and support regression runs.
• Maintain test case repositories, test data sets, and execution logs for audit and re-use.
• Participate in daily stand-ups / defect triage with onshore/offshore teams.

Minimum Skills Required: Experience

• 2-4 years of experience in Software Testing / QA, with at least 2+ years in Data Warehouse / ETL testing.
• Practical experience in data migration / data platform modernization projects is strongly preferred.

Technical Skills

• Strong SQL skills for writing complex queries and validations (joins, aggregations, window functions, filters).
• Hands-on experience testing on at least one data platform such as: Snowflake, Databricks, or other cloud DW/Big Data platforms – experience with Snowflake/Databricks is a plus.
• Exposure to Informatica (understanding mappings/workflows and expected outputs).
• Exposure to dbt or willingness to learn dbt-based validations (model outputs, dbt test results).
• Good understanding of data warehouse concepts: facts/dimensions, SCDs, aggregations, grain, source-to-target mapping.
• Familiarity with test management and defect tracking tools (e.g., Azure DevOps, JIRA, TestRail, qTest).
• Experience with Excel or similar tools for managing validation results and reconciliation artifacts.

Soft Skills

• Strong attention to detail and a structured approach to validation.
• Ability to analyze data discrepancies and collaborate with developers to narrow down issues.
