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.

Collaboration

• Work closely with:

  • Test Teams

  • Environment Management Teams

  • Database Administrators

  • Source System Owners

  • Security and Data Governance Teams

  • Technical Leads

• Provide guidance to testing teams on data availability, readiness, refresh schedules, and coverage limitations.

• Contribute to operational documentation, runbooks, standards, and reusable templates.
