QA Analyst​/ETL Tester

Position: QA Analyst / ETL Tester
Fully Remote
• Springfield, IL Description

At CSpring, we believe in the power of people and data to drive real-world impact. We’re a purpose-driven consulting firm that helps organizations solve complex problems, gain insights, and achieve measurable results. Our clients span the public and private sectors, and our work — from data strategy and engineering to workforce transformation — improves lives across Indiana and beyond. We’re seeking talented professionals who are collaborative, curious, and committed to making a difference.

Why You’ll Love Working Here Work that carries real weight. You'll be validating data pipelines that support a state Medicaid system — your attention to detail has a direct downstream effect on how healthcare information reaches the people who need it.

A team that takes quality seriously. CSpring has a culture of rigor and care. We don't ship sloppy work, and we hire people who feel the same way — you'll be surrounded by colleagues who hold the same standard.

Room to grow your craft. You'll work across a modern, meaningful stack — Informatica Power Center, Teradata, Azure Dev Ops, and Python automation — with the latitude to improve and automate the processes you own.

Collaboration without silos. Our teams work in tight Agile cycles with real communication between QA engineers, ETL developers, and business stakeholders.

Purpose-driven clients. Our government and healthcare clients are doing work that matters to their communities. When you support their data infrastructure, you're part of that mission too.

What You’ll DoThe ETL Tester will be responsible for designing, automating, and executing test cases for Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) ETL processes in a State Government Medicaid environment. In this role, you will be responsible for ensuring the accuracy, integrity, and reliability of data as it moves through our ETL processes.

You will leverage your expertise to design and execute test strategies that validate both functional and non-functional requirements of our data pipelines. The tester will leverage ETL tools — primarily Informatica Power Center for extraction, transformation, and loading, and Teradata RDBMS for core data store validation — within Azure Dev Ops and agile sprint cycles to ensure data quality, identify defects, and automate repeatable testing processes.

Review Change Requests (CRs) and participate in requirement analysis for new EDW extracts and transformations. Participate in data modeling and requirement gathering sessions to ensure testing aligns with business needs

Data Validation:
Perform backend testing to compare data in source systems to target Medicaid Enterprise Data Warehouses (EDW). Verify source-to-target data mapping and transformation logic for Medicaid datasets. Validate data quality, standardization rules, and loading accuracy.

SQL & Scripting:
Write complex SQL queries (including multi-table JOINs, aggregations) to validate ETL outputs against business rules. Conduct row counts, null checks, duplicate checks, referential integrity validation.

Test Strategy & Execution:
Design test plans, test cases, and test scenarios for ETL processes. Document test results and provide detailed feedback to stakeholders, highlighting areas for improvement. Execute manual and automated tests for both full-load and incremental-load cycles.

Defect Management:
Identify, document, and track discrepancies using tools like JIRA, HP ALM, or Azure Dev Ops Test Plans. Collaborate with ETL developers to resolve defects and perform regression testing.
