This role focuses on ensuring the quality, accuracy, and reliability of Tableau dashboards through a combination of manual testing, SQL-based data validation, and test automation.

You will work closely with Tableau Developers and Data Engineers to validate dashboard functionality, performance, and underlying data integrity.

• Perform end-to-end dashboard testing, including filters, parameters, calculations, drilldown behavior, and performance validation.

• Design and implement automated testing workflows for Tableau dashboards using tools such as Wiisdom, Selenium, or similar automation frameworks.

• Document test strategies, test plans, defects, and release progress using JIRA, Confluence, Excel, and other reporting tools.

• Collaborate with Tableau Engineers and Data Engineers to clarify requirements, identify data issues, and ensure high-quality dashboard releases.

• Support continuous improvement of QA processes, automation coverage, and data validation standards.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Data Science, Information Systems, or a related field

• 5 years of experience in dashboard or BI testing (Tableau strongly preferred)

• Intermediate SQL skills (ability to write joins, aggregations, subqueries, data validation queries, and troubleshoot data discrepancies) - required

• Hands-on experience with manual and automated testing methodologies

• Experience with JIRA, Confluence, and MS Excel for test management and documentation

• Solid understanding of database technologies (e.g., Redshift, Oracle, or similar)

• Strong analytical thinking and attention to detail

• Excellent communication skills and ability to work in a collaborative team environment

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with Tableau automation testing tools such as Wiisdom

• Experience in the pharmaceutical industry or working with clinical trials data
