Job description
At Implicity, our Data Ingestion pipeline is the backbone of everything we do, ensuring that raw device data from thousands of cardiac monitoring devices reaches cardiologists accurately and reliably. As we scale our engineering organization, we have created a dedicated Data Platform Ingestion squad and looking for a QA Analyst to own quality end-to-end across our back-end data flows.
Collaboration: You will work closely with Data Engineers, Software Engineers, Tech Lead, QA Automation Engineers, and the Product Manager of the Ingestion squad.
Your missions
As a QA Analyst - Data Ingestion, your core mission will be to own the quality of our data ingestion pipelines, from raw device data to correctly transformed and stored outputs.
You will:
- Back-end Pipeline Testing: Design and execute test plans on data ingestion pipelines, validate that raw data arrives in the expected format and is correctly transformed through each processing step.
- API & Message Broker Validation: Test REST APIs, validate data flow through RabbitMQ (and equivalent message brokers), and ensure integrity across services and databases.
- Database & Data Quality Validation: Query and validate data across SQL databases (PostgreSQL, MariaDB), BigQuery, and MongoDB to confirm accuracy and consistency post-ingestion.
- Release Management & Pre-prod Validation: Own the release acceptance testing process, deploy to preprod, validate, and sign off on quality before each production release.
- Performance Contribution: Identify and flag performance bottlenecks in ingestion flows; contribute to performance testing as the pipeline scales.
- Test Documentation & Repository: Maintain the test repository up-to-date in Xray - create, review, and version test cases for ingestion pipelines; provide clear and structured requirements for QA automation engineers to enable test automation. Our Technical Environment: Experience with all these stacks is not mandatory, just for information.
