QA Engineer, Senior

The Quality Senior Analyst — Ontology & Canonical Data Modeling owns validation and quality assurance for Infor's Data Fabric ontology and canonical data model artifacts, including SHACL/SPARQL-based test assertions and cross-ERP mapping validation. The role requires 5+ years of QA/data-quality testing experience; no prior ontology/SPARQL experience is required, as this is built through a structured internal ramp program.

A Typical Day in the Life Includes: Technology Environment Semantic web / ontology testing (learned on the job): SPARQL-based test assertions, SHACL constraint validation, Apache Jena, Fuseki Canonical data modeling: Cross-ERP mapping validation, master data concepts, data lineage Testing & automation: Test design, defect management, regression suites, CI/CD-integrated test automation Application context: SQL, basic scripting; working familiarity with Java/Spring-based services under test Cloud platform: AWS (or equivalent) — basic working knowledge Data Fabric platform: Infor Data Fabric integration pipelines and canonical schema examples Primary Responsibilities

• Progress through the Basic → Advanced learning map with a quality/testing focus, passing checkpoints on schedule.
• Author and maintain SHACL/SPARQL-based validation rules and regression test suites.
• Validate canonical mappings for completeness and correctness across ERP source systems.
• Track, report, and drive resolution of data-quality defects and mapping gaps.
• Partner with engineers on acceptance criteria and quality standards for new deliverables.

Basic Qualifications

Must-Have Skills — Mandatory Screening Criteria

• 5+ years of QA/testing experience.
• Experience testing data quality, ETL, or data integration/migration projects.
• Strong SQL skills and basic test-automation scripting ability.
• Strong analytical and defect-documentation skills.
• Demonstrated learning agility to pick up SPARQL/SHACL-based testing techniques. Good-to-Have Skills — Candidate Differentiators
• Experience testing master data management or cross-system integration projects.
• Familiarity with test automation frameworks and CI/CD pipelines.
• Any prior exposure to graph databases, RDF, or rule-based validation.
• Experience with ERP data models.
