Description:
Job Type: Remote
- At 5X, we help companies organize their data and make it actionable. Founded by engineers who built data platforms at hypergrowth companies, we saw first-hand the complexity and fragmentation plaguing modern data stacks. That’s why we created 5X — an end-to-end data and AI platform that unifies data tooling, streamlines operations, and empowers teams to build with data without drowning in integrations and vendor sprawl.
- We are currently hiring a QA Engineer who will ensure the accuracy, reliability, and quality of data pipelines, ETL workflows, transformations, and end-to-end systems. You will work closely with developers to validate data structures, transformations, integrations, and overall platform functionality.
Responsibilities
- Collaborate with developers to translate business and technical requirements into comprehensive and executable test cases.
- Validate data sources, extraction logic, transformation rules, and the accuracy of data loading processes.
- Leverage advanced AI-driven QA tools (e.g., JAM, Testsigma, AI-based accelerators) to enhance automation efficiency, test coverage, and productivity.
- Experienced in API testing tools including Postman, Swagger, Apache JMeter, SoapUI, and similar technologies.
- Design, document, and execute end-to-end test plans, including test harnesses and automated test suites.
- Perform functional, non-functional, regression, integration, performance, load, and stress testing across distributed systems.
- Ensure adherence to QA best practices throughout SDLC and STLC using Agile, Scrum, Waterfall, and hybrid delivery models.
- Track, manage, and communicate defects effectively using JIRA or Linear with detailed root-cause insights.
- Use AI to generate, optimize, and maintain automated test scripts and test-data frameworks efficiently.
Nice to Have
- Strong ability to write and optimize SQL queries to support advanced data validation, reconciliation, and diagnostics.
- Experience testing ETL workflows across Snowflake, GBQ, Postgres, Redshift, and other modern data warehouse technologies.
- Extensive experience in Data Warehousing and BI validation with deep understanding of ETL architecture and data quality frameworks.
- Strong SQL skills across Snowflake, GBQ, Postgres, Redshift, etc.
- Proficient in validating ETL pipelines, complex transformation logic, job orchestration flows, and end-to-end data lineage.
- Strong command over QA methodologies, test design strategies, automation principles, and quality governance models.
- Experience creating detailed functional, non-functional, and performance-oriented test documentation.
- Strong analytical and technical communication skills with the ability to articulate findings clearly and concisely.
- Ability to deliver outcomes independently — unblocking yourself efficiently, communicating proactively, and engaging with the team with minimal supervision.
