Ensure quality and accuracy of data analytics and reporting in an Agile team. | At least five years in software or data QA with strong SQL and Power BI testing experience. | Job Location (Short): Houston, Texas-USA | Madison, Alabama-USA Workplace Type: Remote Req Id: 2762 Responsibilities Is testing data your jam? Do mismatched totals bother you until you find the exact transformation, relationship, or filter that caused them? Do you enjoy tracing data from a source table through an ETL pipeline, stored procedure, semantic model, and Power BI dashboard? Can you spot the difference between bad source data, faulty SQL, and a broken report? If so, this may be your kind of role. Octave is looking for a Senior Quality Assurance Engineer who knows that a polished dashboard is only as trustworthy as the data behind it. You’ll help ensure the accuracy, reliability, and performance of analytics used across our global Public Safety software portfolio, including the HxGN OnCall application suite. Embedded within an Agile delivery team, you’ll own quality across data pipelines, reporting platforms, dashboards, and analytics services. You’ll work alongside Developers, Data Engineers, Product Owners, and Scrum Masters to uncover risks early and ensure operational data can be trusted when it matters most. Experience in Public Safety, emergency response, or another mission-critical environment is especially valuable. What you’ll do • Serve as the embedded quality expert on an Agile/SAFe team delivering analytics and reporting capabilities. • Collaborate with Product Owners, Data Engineers, and Developers to shape user stories, acceptance criteria, data mappings, and validation scenarios. • Design and execute tests for ETL pipelines, data transformations, reports, dashboards, semantic models, and analytics services. • Trace data from source systems through pipelines, database objects, reporting models, and final visualizations. • Use SQL to validate accuracy, completeness, transformations, aggregations, nulls, duplicates, and source-to-target reconciliation. • Test Power BI reports and dashboards, including measures, filters, relationships, drill-through behavior, refreshes, and KPI calculations. • Diagnose whether reporting discrepancies originate in source data, ETL logic, SQL, semantic models, or visual configurations. • Validate pipeline failure handling, reruns, partial loads, performance, and recovery scenarios. • Perform functional, integration, regression, and exploratory testing throughout each sprint. • Document and triage defects with clear reproduction steps, data samples, reconciliation queries, and impact assessments. • Help establish analytics-testing standards, reusable validation practices, and effective test-data strategies. • Maintain test cases, defects, and traceability in Azure DevOps while actively participating in Agile ceremonies. Education / Qualifications • At least five years of experience in software QA, data QA, or software testing within Agile teams. • Hands-on experience testing ETL pipelines, analytics platforms, reporting systems, or other data-intensive applications. • Strong SQL skills, including joins, aggregations, duplicate detection, source-to-target reconciliation, and validation of views and stored procedures. • Practical experience testing Power BI reports and dashboards—not simply viewing or consuming them. • The ability to trace a reported value from a visualization back through its measure, model, database objects, transformation logic, and source data. • Familiarity with Power BI measures, filter context, relationships, refreshes, and gateways. • A strong understanding of QA methodologies, test design, risk-based testing, and defect management. • Strong investigative, problem-solving, and communication skills. • A proactive, accountable approach and the curiosity to keep expanding your technical skills.
