About the role

Kuvare is seeking a QA Analyst to join our Data Foundations Team (DFT). This role is responsible for end-to-end quality across our data and application platforms. Kuvare is seeking a talented individual with advanced QA expertise who can work across systems: legacy, cloud, UI, APIs, and Data (SQL) — and embed quality at every stage of our SDLC.

What you'll do

-     Own QA strategy from intake through production release.

-       Review backlog items to ensure acceptance criteria are testable and measurable.

-       Create test plans and data validation strategies for Features and Tickets.

-       Use automation / development and testing frameworks (e.g. Swagger, Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, Postman, etc.).

-       Represent QA in every Scrum ceremony and SDLC milestone.

-       Track QA metrics (e.g. coverage, defect escape, cycle time impact) and drive improvement.

-       Stay current with QA trends, including AI-based testing approaches.

-       Partner with Product Owners and Business Analysts to decompose user stories into clear, testable acceptance criteria.

-       Confirm that ingested and transformed data align with business rules, definitions, and regulatory requirements.

-       Facilitate smooth integration testing across upstream and downstream systems to confirm end-to-end data and process accuracy.

-       Apply diverse testing methods (functional, regression, smoke, exploratory, black/white/grey box) across APIs, UI, and Azure data workloads (ADF, Databricks, Synapse, ADLS).

-       Perform performance, load, accessibility, and security testing to confirm system resilience and compliance.

-       Document and track defects, validating fixes and maintaining clear QA evidence.

-       Participate in design and code reviews, offering QA input on requirements, schedules, risks, and quality impact.

-       Monitor and communicate QA metrics (coverage, defect escape, cycle time) to drive continuous improvement.

Qualifications

-       Bachelor’s degree in a technical field (e.g. Computer Science, Information Systems) and 5+ years of experience, or a total of 8+ years of experience as a QA professional.

-       Experiences evaluating and recommending QA tools and methodologies that improve coverage and efficiency.

-       Ability to prevent downstream defects in reporting, analytics, and product functionality by identifying data issues early in the lifecycle and addressing corrupt or incomplete data.

-       Proven communication skills necessary to bridge gaps between Business Analysts, Developers, and Data Engineers by clarifying data mapping, transformation logic, and edge cases.

-       Design, execute, and maintain test plans, scenarios, and automation scripts that meet Kuvare’s quality standards.
