Company
We're partnering with a growing organisation that is heavily investing in its cloud data platform and modern data ecosystem. Having recently embarked on a large-scale data transformation programme, they are building out their capabilities within a Databricks-based lakehouse environment and are looking for an experienced Data QA Engineer to play a key role in its ongoing success.
Role
This is an opportunity for a technically strong Data QA Engineer to take ownership of testing across a modern Databricks data platform. Working closely with Data Engineers, Analytics Engineers and business stakeholders, you'll be responsible for ensuring data products, pipelines and platform releases are thoroughly tested and meet high standards of quality, reliability and performance.
A significant part of the role will involve working directly within Databricks, creating and executing tests, validating data quality and helping shape testing processes across the wider platform. You'll contribute to testing strategy, support automation initiatives and act as a key voice for quality throughout the delivery lifecycle.
