  • Enable self-service test data provisioning for delivery teams through CA TDM portals and automation.
  • Perform data profiling and quality checks to ensure completeness, integrity, and privacy compliance.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (QA, DevOps, InfoSec, Privacy) to align with data governance and security standards.
  • Integrate TDM processes into CI/CD pipelines to support automated testing and continuous delivery.
  • Provide leadership, mentorship, and training to QA teams on TDM best practices.
  • Monitor and report on TDM KPIs such as provisioning lead time, masking compliance, and data reuse metrics.

What You'll Bring

  • 8+ years in software testing or quality engineering, including 3+ years in Test Data Management leadership.
  • Hands-on experience with CA Test Data Manager (Broadcom) for masking, subsetting, and synthetic data creation.
  • Strong knowledge of data masking techniques for structured and unstructured data, including mainframe systems.
  • Proficiency in SQL, data modeling, and understanding of COBOL copybooks.
  • Experience with JCL and mainframe utilities for data operations.
  • Familiarity with privacy regulations (e.g., PIPEDA) and secure data handling practices.
  • Exposure to DevOps tools such as Azure DevOps and Jenkins, with experience integrating TDM into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Excellent communication, leadership, and stakeholder management skills.

Nice-to-Have

  • Experience with service virtualization or data virtualization tools.
  • Insurance or financial services industry experience.
  • Professional certifications such as ISTQB Advanced Test Manager, CA TDM, or Data Privacy certifications.

Education

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
