• Develop transformation logic to convert raw transactional data into clean, well‑structured fact and dimension tables.
• Enforce data quality through rigorous testing, documentation, and version control following DevOps processes.
• Participate in Agile ceremonies (e.g., stand-ups, sprint planning) and manage tasks using Jira.
• Optimize Snowflake performance (Clustering, Warehouses, Query tuning).
• Implement and follow data access controls and security practices for regulated financial data.
• Help automate workflows using Airflow, Snowflake Tasks or TWS.
• Monitor pipeline executions, investigate failures, and support issue resolution.
• Support end users and downstream data consumers 

Mandatory Qualifications & Skills

• 3–5 years of experience in data engineering or analytics engineering roles.
• Hands‑on experience working with Snowflake as a cloud data warehouse.
• Strong proficiency in SQL and understanding of dimensional data modeling concepts.
• Working knowledge of Python for pipeline integration or orchestration tasks.
• Familiarity with Git‑based version control and DevOps practices.
• Ability to work effectively with both technical and finance stakeholders.
• Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments.
• Experience with Analytics/BI tools such as Sigma or Qlik is a huge plus.

Nice‑to‑Have Skills

• Exposure to financial or sub‑ledger datasets (trades, positions, balances, movements).
• Familiarity with data vault and modeling concepts
• Understanding of MCP and AI Agents.

Education & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Finance Technology, or a related field.
• Prior experience working in cross‑functional teams involving engineers, analysts, and business users.
