Compensation: $120,000

Responsibilities

  • Validate a Sprint 0 Palantir proof of concept end-to-end, verifying that data migrated from a legacy system flows correctly through the Palantir pipeline into a target system consumable format.

  • Perform SIT (System Integration Test): verify the bidirectional interfaces and the full end-to-end path into target system consumable output.
  • Perform performance testing: validate pipeline/ETL throughput on the CDC workload across the ~40 normalized, time-variant tables; establish baseline performance metrics for the migrated flow.
  • Conduct source-to-target data reconciliation (row/field-level integrity between the legacy system snapshot and the Palantir target).
  • Execute schema-conformance and system data-quality/validation-rule testing.
  • Conduct data-profiling and completeness checks to confirm nothing is lost or transformed incorrectly in migration.
  • Complete test planning, case design, and requirements traceability; defect logging, triage, and retest.
  • Execute incremental/Agile testing aligned to sprint cadence; perform regression as pipelines iterate.
  • Use automated test/validation tooling and accelerators where available.

Requirements

  • Experience testing scoped to unidirectional ingest.
  • Must have SECRET clearance.
  • Army data-migration or ERP/personnel-system testing; NIPR test-environment handling.
  • Prefer candidate with any Palantir Foundry credential.
