• Create advanced SQL queries using complex joins, Common Table Expressions (CTEs), window functions, and other techniques to extract and manipulate data efficiently.
• Establish and execute comprehensive data testing strategies, including source-to-target reconciliation, schema validation, regression testing, and data-driven validation.
• Validate data pipelines and transformations to ensure accuracy, completeness, consistency, and reliability across source and target systems.
• Integrate data pipelines and automated testing into Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) workflows using Jenkins, Git, and GCP Cloud Build.
• Use enterprise data integration tools such as Informatica PowerCenter and Talend to support complex integration requirements.
• Collaborate within Agile teams using Jira and Confluence to manage tasks, defects, documentation, and technical specifications.
• Investigate data quality issues, pipeline failures, and processing discrepancies, implementing effective solutions to improve reliability and performance.
• Contribute to continuous improvements in data engineering, testing, deployment, automation, and quality assurance processes.

Requirements

• 5–10 years of professional experience in data engineering, ETL testing, data quality, or a related field.
• Proven hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP), particularly BigQuery, Cloud Storage, and Cloud Composer.
• Strong experience with relational and NoSQL databases, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, Cloud SQL, Cloud Spanner, Oracle, and Snowflake.
• Advanced programming skills in Java, including JDBC and Apache Beam Software Development Kit (SDK).
• Strong Python expertise, including experience with libraries and frameworks such as Pandas and PyTest.

• Strong understanding of data-driven testing methodologies, source-to-target validation, schema validation, reconciliation, and regression testing.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, Git, GitHub, Maven, and defect tracking platforms such as Jira and HP Application Lifecycle Management (ALM).
• Experience with enterprise data integration technologies such as Informatica PowerCenter and Talend is advantageous.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate complex data and pipeline issues.
• Ability to work effectively in Agile environments and collaborate with technical and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to data accuracy, quality, and reliability.
• Ability to work effectively in a remote environment and manage priorities independently.

Benefits

• Contract opportunity within a data engineering and technology-focused environment.
• Remote working arrangement.
• Opportunity to work with modern GCP cloud technologies and large-scale data platforms.
• Exposure to diverse enterprise databases and data warehousing technologies.
• Opportunity to work across both data engineering and ETL testing, including automated quality assurance.
• Experience with CI/CD, cloud-native data workflows, and modern DevOps practices.
• Collaboration within Agile teams using established engineering and project management practices.
