Your contributions will directly impact the accuracy, consistency, and performance of mission‑critical data systems. This position combines hands‑on automation, SQL‑based data validation, and collaboration with cross‑functional engineering teams to solve challenging data quality problems.

It is ideal for someone passionate about building scalable testing solutions, driving best practices in QA, and working in a remote, flexible, and highly collaborative setting. You will help accelerate the delivery of trustworthy data for analytics and AI initiatives.

• Design, develop, and maintain automated test frameworks for ETL/ELT and streaming data workflows.
• Build reusable components for Snowflake, Databricks, ADF, Airflow, and other data platforms.
• Automate regression tests, schema validation, data contract checks, and monitoring of data quality.
• Validate data accuracy, completeness, and consistency across ingestion, transformation, and downstream layers.
• Perform root‑cause analysis for data inconsistencies and collaborate with engineers to implement corrective actions.

• Hands‑on experience with Python for automation scripting and data quality frameworks.
• Extensive experience testing ETL/ELT pipelines and cloud‑based data workflows.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, version control (Git), and automated execution environments.
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and troubleshooting skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience with Snowflake and at least one test automation framework; knowledge of Databricks, ADF, AWS Glue, streaming platforms, or orchestration tools is a plus.

• Competitive annual compensation: $30,000 – $32,000 USD.
• Remote‑first role with flexible working hours and autonomy.
• Opportunity to design and implement scalable data QA frameworks.
