Responsibilities
- Design and build automated systems that identify data quality issues, product bugs, and regressions across our web application and data pipelines — reducing reliance on manual discovery
- Write scripts and tooling to detect anomalies, inconsistencies, or failures in large datasets (e.g. malformed records, missing relationships, unexpected distributions)
- Word with product to prioritize identified issues based on business impact, and write or contribute code fixes directly — not just file tickets
- Develop and maintain automated test coverage (unit, integration, end-to-end) with a focus on high-risk areas and data-heavy workflows
- Collaborate with engineering to review data models, API contracts, and backend logic for correctness and edge cases
- Instrument quality metrics and build internal tooling or dashboards to track data health and product reliability over time
- Contribute to release readiness by running automated checks and surfacing risk areas with supporting data
Skills
- 3+ years of engineering experience with a focus on quality, data integrity, or test automation
- Strong Python skills — comfortable writing production-quality scripts, automation, and data analysis code
- Experience working with large datasets: querying, profiling, validating, and debugging data in SQL and NoSQL databases (Postgres/Elasticsearch preferred)
- Proven track record building automated systems that discover bugs or data issues, not just validate known behavior
- Ability to read, understand, and contribute fixes to a production codebase — this role writes code, not just tests
- Comfortable working independently and prioritizing a backlog of quality issues by impact
- Experience with Django, Elasticsearch, or Vue
- Familiarity with AWS-based environments and cloud data pipelines
- Experience building data quality monitoring, alerting, or observability tooling
- Familiarity with tools such as Pytest, Great Expectations, dbt tests, Playwright, Postman, or similar
