What are the responsibilities and job description for the Quality Assurance Lead position at JCW Group?
JCW is working on a QA Lead search with a leading financial institution, building out QA for a cybersecurity data warehouse on Databricks and we're looking for someone who wants to build a testing function from the ground up.
This is a temp-to-perm opportunity, not a maintain role - it's a build. You'll walk in and start manually testing ETL pipelines by hand (no framework exists yet), then design and stand up test automation from scratch. You'll own test strategy, data validation, and defect management end to end, partnering closely with data engineering, governance, and security teams on a critical cyber data platform within a regulated financial services environment.
What you'll bring:
- 8 years in QA, data testing, or ETL/ELT testing
- Hands-on Databricks experience (Delta Tables, notebook workflows, pipeline jobs, API integrations)
- 5 years leading QA for enterprise data warehouse or lakehouse platforms
- Strong SQL and Spark SQL
- Python, PySpark, Pandas for test automation and data profiling
- API testing experience (Postman or similar)
- SDLC, Agile, and CI/CD fluency
- Regulated industry background a plus
