About your role:
As a Data Governance Engineer - Data Quality & Operations (Advisor II), you will design, implement, and run enterprise data quality monitoring and governance operations for cyber datasets.

What you'll do:
  • Operationalize the data governance framework with data quality gates, issue intake channels, triage service-level agreements (SLAs), and remediation playbooks for cyber datasets.
  • Partner with data stewards to define priority domains, accountable owners, and critical data element (CDE) quality expectations and document them in the data catalog.
  • Inventory and rationalize reports and dashboards based on data quality impact and business criticality, and drive remediation plans.
  • Deliver quick-win analytics pilots by validating and assuring dataset quality for production use.
  • Implement enterprise data quality monitoring integrated with Google BigQuery, Talend, and the metadata catalog.
  • Build and support standardized key performance indicator (KPI) dashboards by ensuring datasets meet defined data quality SLAs.
  • Expand self-service business intelligence (BI) adoption by defining quality SLAs, creating runbooks, and delivering training for tools such as Microsoft Power BI and Looker.
  • Collaborate with data science and engineering teams to ensure models use quality-gated inputs and have ongoing data quality monitoring.

Experience you'll need to have:
  • 6+ years of experience in data quality, data engineering, or data governance operations for analytics, risk, or cyber telemetry datasets.
  • 6+ years of experience writing advanced SQL and implementing monitoring, alerting, and remediation workflows integrated into CI/CD pipelines or scheduled data pipelines.
  • 4+ years of experience implementing or supporting data quality and testing frameworks with platforms such as Google BigQuery and Talend.
  • 4+ years of experience inventorying and assessing dashboards and reports, and prioritizing data quality remediation based on business impact.
  • 3+ years of experience running incident intake and triage processes, performing root-cause analysis, and driving data quality remediation to closure.
  • Skills in collaborating with cross-functional teams (for example, SOC, detection engineering, compliance, and data science) to translate requirements into data quality controls and operational processes.
  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, Cybersecurity, Data Analytics, or related field, or equivalent combination of education, related experience and/or military experience.

Experience that would be great to have:
  • Experience with cybersecurity operations and/or financial services domains.
  • Experience with tools such as Axonius, Bindplane, or Cribl and with supporting model operationalization.
  • Certifications in DataOps or Google Cloud Platform (GCP), or equivalent combination of certifications, related experience and/or military experience.

How you'll work:
  • This role is on-site Monday through Friday. Fiserv considers in-person collaboration to be an essential part of this role as in-person office experiences help you with your overall onboarding experience and leads to stronger productivity.

Benefits at Fiserv:

  • Paid holidays and generous time away policies.
  • No-cost mental health support through Employee Assistance Programs.
