Job Requisition ID #

26WD95106

Position Overview

Fusion Industry Cloud relies on accurate, trustworthy analytics and system state signals. This role is a Principal QA developer responsible for building the quality strategy and automation systems that ensure analytics reporting and SSR pipelines are correct, stable, and “fail fast.” You will help shift detection left: catching reporting defects in CI/PR workflows and validating downstream pipeline correctness end-to-end.
 

Responsibilities

  • Define and execute the analytics quality strategy across client reporting, SSR pipelines, and downstream consumption

  • Build automated test frameworks that detect analytics/reporting failures early (PR/CI), including regression coverage and dynamic validation suites

  • Create end-to-end test plans covering ingestion → validation → enrichment → warehouse publication → dashboard/BI outputs

  • Develop reusable test harnesses, test data, and validation utilities; integrate results into developer workflows

  • Partner with engineering to define “definition of done” for analytics features (test plans, automation coverage, performance checks, release readiness)

  • Triage pipeline/data quality issues, analyze root causes, and drive corrective actions with engineering partners

  • Coach and raise quality practices across the team through standards, templates, and clear accountability

Minimum Qualifications

  • 8+ years in QA/SDET roles with substantial automation responsibility

  • Strong programming/scripting skills (e.g., Python/Java/TypeScript) and test automation frameworks

  • Experience testing distributed systems, pipelines, or data-driven products end-to-end
