Lead Test Engineer (Azure | Databricks)
Contract | Remote | UK Public Sector Project
Overview
We are seeking a Lead Test Engineer to work within a multi-disciplinary team to own the test strategy and quality engineering approach for an Azure Databricks Platform. This role involves shaping testing practices across the platform, championing data quality tooling, and building the foundations for reliable, well-tested data engineering across the programme. The Lead Test Engineer will play a key role in designing and implementing a structured test framework, embedding automated testing into the delivery pipeline, and collaborate with test and data engineers.
Who We’re Looking For
An experienced, hands-on Lead Test Engineer who is equally comfortable defining a test strategy at platform level and writing the tests themselves. You will assess the current state of testing across the data platform estate, identify gaps and risks, and design a structured, maintainable test framework that engineers can adopt consistently. You should be confident introducing test-driven development practices, building CI/CD pipelines that run tests automatically, and championing data quality tooling as part of the platform's testing approach. You will also set standards and raise the overall quality bar for the platform.
