Job Description

Data QA Engineer validating web-extracted customer data for Zyte’s global data extraction platform. Designing tests, analyzing quality metrics, and reporting defects across scraping and AI-assisted projects.

Responsibilities:

  • Turn customer scraping and data requirements into a clear test approach and own QA from the start on new projects.
  • Combine exploratory manual and visual testing with automated tests where automation pays for itself.
  • Run test cycles on extracted data and report the results clearly.
  • Write up defects with enough detail that a developer can reproduce and fix them without a conversation.
  • Use descriptive statistics, summaries and charts to show how good the data is: completeness, accuracy, consistency and drift.
  • Produce test reports and quality scores that give the team, and the customer where needed, a true picture.
  • Say what was tested, what was not, and what risk that leaves.
  • Work with project managers and clients to clear up unclear or untestable requirements before QA begins.
  • Feed into the test automation framework, with a focus on coverage and performance.
  • Suggest and take ownership of improvements to QA process and tooling, including browser add-ons, spreadsheet add-ons and UI-based test automation tools.
  • Work with QA leadership, project managers and developers, with minimal supervision.

Requirements:

  • 5+ years in a QA Engineer or similar role - testing software or data.
  • Python preferred language - Pandas and Jupyter for data analysis and validation.
  • SQL: basic to intermediate queries, and comfort with at least one relational database and its tools.
  • A solid grasp of web technologies and protocols: HTML, XPath, JSON, HTTP and CSS.
  • Experience writing tests against HTTP/REST APIs.
  • Good test case design and test data management.
  • Experience working in an agile team (Scrum or Kanban) alongside developers.
  • An understanding of data quality concepts such as completeness, accuracy, consistency and drift.
  • Strong attention to detail, and the confidence to hold the quality line under delivery pressure.
  • Clear written and spoken communication in English.
  • Working knowledge of Scrapy and other Python-based scraping frameworks.
  • Experience with test automation frameworks.
  • Interest in data science concepts as they apply to data analysis and validation.
  • Interest in using AI and LLM tools to speed up data validation.

Benefits:

  • Become part of a self-motivated, progressive, multi-cultural team.
  • Have the freedom and flexibility to work from where you do your best work.
  • Work with cutting-edge open source technologies and tools.
  • 35 days paid holidays
