Are you a hands-on, technically advanced Test Specialist looking to take the lead on testing strategy across a cutting-edge data environment? We’re working exclusively with a high-performing organisation who are making a rare and strategic external hire into their specialist team – and they’re looking for a Principal Test Specialist (DATA) to elevate testing across their data engineering and analytics function.
This is a business-critical role, working at the intersection of technical strategy and hands-on delivery.

What You’ll Be Doing
* Partner with the Test Manager to modernise and optimise test processes across the data and analytics function.
* Lead the development of test automation frameworks that support data ingestion, transformation (ETL/ELT), and analytical models.
* Work hands-on with tools like Snowflake, dbt, Fivetran, and Tableau, alongside SQL and Python.
* Design and implement scalable, agnostic testing frameworks for use across agile delivery teams.
* Promote best practices including Test-Driven Development (TDD), Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD), and AI/ML-based testing for anomaly detection and performance validation.
* Mentor and upskill test and engineering teams in modern, automation-first testing approaches.
* Collaborate across teams to ensure quality and consistency throughout the development lifecycle.

* Deep experience in data testing, particularly across ingestion, transformation, and modelling pipelines.
* Strong SQL and Python skills – essential for building and validating test cases.
* Proven experience with Snowflake (or similar cloud data platforms), dbt, Fivetran, and Airflow.
* Knowledge of automation frameworks such as Cucumber, Gherkin, TestNG.
* Experience integrating test automation into large-scale delivery functions.
Experience
* Proven track record in testing complex data solutions in fast-paced, agile environments.
* Blend of hands-on capability and strategic input – you’ll be expected to build as well as guide.
* Background in mentoring or training other engineers/testers is highly advantageous.
* Exposure to analytics testing, data modelling, or working with analytical products.
Soft Skills
* Strong communication skills – confident in providing constructive feedback and driving improvement.
* Comfortable presenting solutions and testing strategy to stakeholders.
* Curious, solutions-focused, and excited by emerging tools (particularly AI-based testing techniques).
What’s in It for You?
