Quality Analyst with Akeneo

Role Details We are looking for a technical Data QA Analyst to manage the data migration for a new Akeneo PIM implementation. This role is strictly focused on Backend Data Integrity. You will validate the end-to-end flow of product data from legacy systems (ERP & Cloudinary) into Akeneo, and verify the export schema into Salesforce Commerce Cloud (SFCC). Key Responsibilities 1. Inbound Data Validation (ERP & Cloudinary -> PIM) * ERP Data Ingestion: Validate that raw product data (CSVs/Excel) extracted from the ERP is correctly normalized and loaded into Akeneo. * Check: Identify truncation issues, character encoding errors, or data type mismatches (e.g., ensuring numeric fields don't contain text). * Asset Mapping (Cloudinary): Verify that digital assets (Images, PDFs) from Cloudinary are correctly linked to SKUs in Akeneo via the API/Connector. * Completeness Rules: Test Akeneo "Families" to ensure data validation rules function correctly (e.g., products should not be marked "Complete" if missing a required ERP attribute). 2. Akeneo System Configuration * Schema Verification: Verify that Attributes, Categories, and Option Lists in Akeneo match the approved Data Dictionary. * Data Governance: Conduct specialized testing to ensure that "Read Only" fields (synced from ERP) cannot be edited by PIM users, while "Enrichment" fields function as expected. 3. Outbound Data Validation (PIM -> SFCC) * XML Schema Validation: Inspect the XML files generated by the Akeneo Connector before they are ingested by SFCC. * Goal: Ensure the structure matches the SFCC catalog.xsd schema. * Transformation Logic: Verify that the backend transformation scripts (written by the Developer) are correctly formatting data during the export. * Example: Stripping HTML tags from descriptions or converting "Blue" (Akeneo Text) to color-blue (SFCC Enum ID). * Job Monitoring: Monitor the "Import Catalog" process chains in SFCC Business Manager to confirm imports finish without error logs or skipped records. Required Skills & Experience * Backend Testing: Strong experience validating data migration and ETL processes. * XML/JSON Literacy: Comfortable opening large XML files to trace a specific SKU’s data structure. * PIM Experience: Experience with Akeneo (preferred), Salsify, or similar PIM systems. * SFCC Knowledge: Familiarity with SFCC Business Manager (specifically the Site Development > Operations module for checking logs). * Defect Triage: Ability to distinguish between "Source Data Errors" (Client needs to fix the CSV) vs. "Transformation Bugs" (Developer needs to fix the code).
