Joining SteadyIQ’s data organization as a Senior Quality Assurance Engineer in Data, you’ll be responsible for end-to-end testing of pipelines, APIs, and ETLs. You’ll accomplish this through automated and manual testing. The ideal candidate is highly motivated and excited to play a significant role in the evolution of our product and engineering. To succeed you must be a results-oriented qa engineer who can thrive in a collaborative, team-focused culture. You will work closely with data engineers, data scientists, DevOps engineers, QA engineers, product managers, and business stakeholders to help define, implement, and ship significant increments to the data infrastructure that powers SteadyIQ’s mission-driven products.

• Participate in system design and architecture discussions to ensure QA is not an afterthought.
• Proactively identify potential risks and address issues early in the project lifecycle by thinking outside the box and deliberately employing testing strategies designed to identify flaws in a system's logic, intentionally pushing the system to its boundaries with edge cases, invalid inputs, unexpected scenarios, and combinations of inputs that could potentially cause the system to malfunction or produce incorrect results.
• Analyze and structure raw data to enable meaningful insights.
• Perform thorough source-to-destination data testing to identify and resolve data integrity, accuracy, and transformation logic issues.
