Your key responsibilities will include designing and executing test plans to validate data pipelines re-engineered from AWS to GCP, ensuring data integrity and accuracy. You will work closely with data engineering teams to understand AVRO, ORC, and Parquet file structures in AWS S3, and analyze the data in external tables created in Athena used for reporting. It will be essential to ensure that schema and data in Bigquery match against Athena to support reporting in PowerBI.
