Familiarity with testing frameworks, SQL, and relevant ETL or migration tools is preferred. • Documentation & Reporting: Document testing processes, outcomes, and issues, providing regular reports and analysis to stakeholders on migration test progress, results, and risks. Required Qualifications: • Experience: Minimum 7 years of experience in migration testing or data validation roles, preferably involving large-scale data migrations. • Technical Skills: • Proficiency in SQL for data validation and comparison. • Experience with data migration tools (e.g., AWS DMS, Informatica, Talend, or similar). • Familiarity with ETL processes, data transformation, and data quality principles. • Knowledge of test automation tools and frameworks, especially for data migration (e.g., Python scripting for automation, Selenium, or Robot Framework). • Analytical Abilities: Strong problem-solving and analytical skills for identifying data discrepancies and their root causes. • Attention to Detail: High attention to detail, especially with respect to data integrity and accuracy. • Communication Skills: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to communicate complex findings clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders. Collaboration: Ability to work in cross-functional teams, liaising with developers, database administrators, business analysts, and project managers. Preferred Qualifications: • Certifications: Relevant certifications in testing (e.g., ISTQB) or data management (e.g., Certified Data Management Professional (CDMP)). • Experience with Cloud Migrations: Familiarity with cloud environments, especially AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, is a plus.
