Are you a data-focused tester who enjoys ensuring data is accurate, reliable and ready for business use? We're looking for a Solution Tester to join an Agile delivery team supporting a major Defence programme.
Working as part of a collaborative Scrum team as a Pigment Solution Tester, you'll be responsible for testing data products and services from end to end. From validating data inputs and transformations to supporting User Acceptance Testing (UAT), you'll play a key role in ensuring high-quality solutions are delivered into live environments.
This is an excellent opportunity for a consultant who enjoys working closely with developers, data engineers and business stakeholders, acting as the quality gatekeeper throughout the delivery life cycle.
What you'll be doing:
- Designing and executing end-to-end testing across data products and pipelines.
- Validating data inputs, outputs, transformations and business rules to ensure accuracy and quality.
- Developing test plans, test cases, scripts and traceability documentation.
- Performing data profiling, reconciliation and quality checks across multiple data sources.
- Logging and managing defects through to resolution with data engineering teams.
- Planning and facilitating User Acceptance Testing (UAT) with business stakeholders.
- Producing clear test reports and managing formal test sign-off.
- Working as an Embedded member of an Agile Scrum team, contributing throughout each sprint.
We're looking for someone with:
- Proven experience testing data solutions, including ETL processes, data pipelines and input/output validation.
- Strong SQL skills, with the ability to interrogate datasets and validate transformation logic.
- Experience planning and leading UAT with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- A solid understanding of data quality principles, including accuracy, completeness, consistency and timeliness.
- Experience producing test documentation, managing defects and supporting formal sign-off.
- Previous experience working in Agile/Scrum delivery environments.
It would be great if you also have:
- Experience validating BI and reporting solutions using tools such as Power BI, Microsoft Fabric, Tableau or Palantir Foundry.
- Exposure to cloud data platforms including Azure, AWS, Databricks or Foundry data pipelines.
- Experience with data catalogues and metadata management.
If you're passionate about delivering high-quality data solutions and want to be part of a programme that supports critical Defence capability, we'd love to hear from you.
Due to the level of sensitivity of this programme, you must hold active SC security clearance and be a Sole UK National.
