Role Overview

We are seeking a strategic and highly technical Test Automation Architect to lead the quality engineering efforts for a large-scale data migration project to Snowflake. You will be responsible for designing a robust, multi-tool automation framework that ensures data integrity, performance, and seamless business process continuity. As the Architect, you will orchestrate the integration of Tricentis Tosca, UFT, and Python to validate complex ETL pipelines and cloud data warehouse architectures.

Key Responsibilities

• Strategic Framework Design: Define and implement a hybrid automation strategy using Tosca for model-based UI/API testing, UFT for legacy system integration, and Python for high-volume data validation.
• Snowflake Validation: Develop custom Python-based utilities and libraries to perform automated source-to-target reconciliation, schema validation, and data quality checks within Snowflake.
• End-to-End Orchestration: Lead the design of automated workflows that bridge the gap between legacy on-premises systems and modern cloud data environments.
