- Lead Comprehensive Data Testing: Team with QA to architect and implement a rigorous, automated testing framework, including building and maintaining dbt data tests to validate transformation logic and data integrity, developing unit tests for all critical business logic, and establishing automated regression testing to ensure zero defect releases for all regulatory data products.
What You’ll Need
