• Design the lakehouse: Apache Iceberg (or similar technology) on object storage, a catalog for table management and per-bank isolation, dbt models, and a query engine • Build secure, least-privilege ingestion from bank systems — log-based CDC where permitted, with query-based and batch/SFTP fallbacks, plus an in-bank collector pattern • Own data modeling for the semantic and metric layer (deposits, concentration, uninsured exposure, asset quality, and peer groups) • Handle schema drift, data quality, and reconciliation; make ingestion observable and recoverable • Partner with the AI/ML team on the structured-query path and with Security on PII classification at landing, in alignment with regulatory data-handling requirements • Document data lineage, transformation logic, and access controls to support audit and exam readiness • Define and enforce data contracts, quality thresholds, and alerting for pipeline failures
Job Requirements
- 8–12+ years in data engineering with end-to-end ownership of ingestion through serving, and 2+ years in a lead or senior role
- Strong Python and expert SQL; rigorous data modeling for analytics
- Hands-on lakehouse experience (Iceberg/Delta/Hudi or equivalent) and modern transformation tooling
- Built reliable pipelines from messy operational and transactional source systems
- Comfort with CDC mechanics and the realities of pulling from databases you do not control.
