POSITION INFO:
We are seeking a hands-on Test Data Developer with strong Qlik Data Integration \/ Qlik Replicate experience to support the delivery of enterprise test data solutions across multiple non-production environments. This role is responsible for translating the Test Data Strategy into practical, repeatable data provisioning solutions. The successful candidate will design, build, maintain, and support Qlik-based replication and integration pipelines that deliver production-representative data into lower environments for testing purposes. In addition to strategic delivery, the role will own a stream of business-as-usual (BAU) test data requests, including environment refreshes, dataset creation, defect resolution, and small enhancements. The individual will work under the guidance of the Technical Lead while managing day-to-day delivery independently. What You'll Be Doing Test Data Provisioning & Automation Design and implement test data provisioning solutions using Qlik Replicate and related Qlik Data Integration tools. Configure and support full-load and Change Data Capture (CDC) replication tasks. Provision production-like data into non-production environments while maintaining data quality and integrity. Build reusable and scalable data provisioning patterns across projects and environments. Implement data filtering, subsetting, and transformation rules to ensure datasets are fit-for-purpose and appropriately sized. Monitor replication performance, latency, completeness, and overall task health. Troubleshoot replication failures, schema changes, connectivity issues, and source-to-target discrepancies. Data Governance & Security Apply agreed masking and obfuscation processes to sensitive and personal information. Ensure compliance with data privacy, security, and environment management standards. Maintain auditability and evidence of masking controls and provisioning activities. Ensure no unapproved movement of production data into lower environments. BAU Support Manage a steady flow of test data requests, including: Environment refreshes One-off data extracts Data defects Small enhancements User requests Assess whether requests should be delivered via: A tactical\/manual solution; or A reusable solution within the Qlik capability. Provide impact assessments, effort estimates, status updates, and appropriate handover documentation. Continuously identify opportunities to convert tactical fixes into sustainable platform-based solutions.
