• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define data mapping and transformation rules for Snowflake and D365 migrations.

• Conduct ETL testing using tools such as Azure Data Factory and SSIS, validating data pipelines and transformation logic.

• Validate entity structures and data loads within Microsoft Dynamics 365.

• Identify and report anomalies, duplicates, and inconsistencies using appropriate analysis tools.

• Maintain comprehensive test documentation (plans, results, defects) using Azure DevOps, JIRA, or similar tools.

• Participate in agile ceremonies and support effective planning and delivery in a hybrid environment.

Technical Skills

• Minimum 5 years’ experience in QA and software testing.

• Strong proficiency in SQL for data validation across Snowflake and SQL Server.

• Familiarity with Snowflake (including virtual warehouses) and Microsoft Dynamics 365 / Dataverse.

• Experience with ETL tools (Azure Data Factory, SSIS) and cloud-based data testing.

• Understanding of data migration lifecycles — from source analysis through to post-load verification.

• Exposure to test automation frameworks and scripting.

• Experience with test management tools such as JIRA, Azure DevOps, or TestRail.

• Knowledge of data governance and compliance standards (e.g., GDPR).

Behavioural Competencies

• Strong planning and organisational skills.

• Clear communication and stakeholder influence.

• Collaborative and team-oriented mindset.

• Results-driven with a focus on quality outcomes.

• Analytical thinker and proactive problem-solver.
