• Own client relationships — advise on data modernization strategies, translate business requirements into technical roadmaps aligned with banking standards
• Optimize platform operations — monitor costs, performance, and security across cloud platforms (Snowflake, Databricks, Cloudera, Teradata)
• Drive innovation — evaluate new tools, establish best practices, share knowledge across teams

Required Qualifications

• Advanced proficiency in:
  • Banking Data Modeling — experience with FSLDM, FIBO, and/or BIAN frameworks; ability to design data models for banking use cases (payments, lending, deposits, risk, compliance)
  • Data Modeling for complex schemas (dimensional, normalized, data vault)
  • Cloudera OR Teradata — deep operational and architectural knowledge
  • Snowflake OR Databricks — production deployment, tuning, governance
• 8+ years in data engineering/data modeling, with 3+ years in a leadership/architect role in financial services
• Proven experience managing and mentoring teams
• Banking or highly regulated financial data environment experience — deep familiarity with compliance (AML/KYC), regulatory reporting, data lineage, audit trails
• Strong communication skills — comfortable presenting to C-suite, business stakeholders, and technical teams

Recommended Skills

• Hands-on expertise with both FSLDM/FIBO AND BIAN standards in production environments
• Experience with both Cloudera/Teradata AND Snowflake/Databricks
• Advanced data governance — Collibra, Alation, or custom metadata frameworks
• Data modeling tools — Erwin, PowerDesigner, or cloud-native modeling tools
• Banking domain knowledge: PSD2, GDPR, Basel III, BCBS 239 data requirements
• Hands-on work with Apache Spark, Delta Lake, Iceberg
• Cloud cost optimization and FinOps

What We’re Looking For

• Strategic thinker — sees beyond individual projects to platform-wide implications and banking standards alignment
• Banking domain expert — understands financial products, processes, and regulatory requirements
• Mentor & leader — enjoys developing talent and setting technical direction
• Problem solver — navigates ambiguity in complex financial data environments
