• Develop robust data pipelines to collect, process, and compute metrics from various financial data sources while adhering to quality and development standards.
• Contribute to application architecture and technical solutions, and help implement data framework patterns alongside senior engineers and architects.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver optimal data solutions that meet business and platform needs.
• Develop and deploy high-quality, production-ready code.
• Apply strong database design principles and data modeling techniques to translate business requirements into scalable data solutions.
• Develop and optimize data models to support analytics, reporting, machine learning, and AI-driven use cases.
• Support the implementation and enhancement of enterprise data frameworks and contribute to scalable solutions.
• Identify opportunities to improve existing frameworks and help build reusable capabilities across the organization.
• Troubleshoot and resolve data-related issues in a timely manner.
• Execute unit testing for data pipelines, validate results, and ensure data quality and accuracy; partner with business users for User Acceptance Testing and support deployment activities.
• Follow change management practices and ensure adherence to compliance and regulatory standards.
• Design and build data pipelines and platform capabilities that support AI, Generative AI, and Agentic AI use cases, including model training, inference, retrieval, and orchestration workflows.
• Enable AI-ready data foundations by developing high-quality, governed, and reusable datasets for machine learning, large language model (LLM), and intelligent automation solutions.
• Develop and optimize pipelines for structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data to support GenAI use cases such as semantic search, document intelligence, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
• Partner with data scientists, ML engineers, architects, and product teams to integrate AI/GenAI capabilities into enterprise data platforms and workflows.
• Implement metadata, lineage, governance, security, and access controls required for responsible AI and enterprise-scale GenAI adoption.
• Ensure observability, reliability, performance, and data quality for data pipelines, including those supporting AI-enabled workflows.

• 6-8+ years of experience in data engineering and distributed data processing technologies.
• Hands-on experience with streaming technologies such as Apache Spark, Beam, or Flink.
• Experience with message brokers such as Apache Kafka.
• Experience working with microservices and batch processing systems.
• Strong programming skills in Java and/or Scala; Python experience preferred.
• Strong SQL development and performance optimization skills.
• Solid knowledge of relational databases (Redshift, PostgreSQL, Snowflake) and NoSQL databases (MongoDB or similar).
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and version control systems such as Bitbucket and Git.
• Experience with ETL development tools such as Talend or DataStage is a plus.
• Experience with Java Spring Boot; familiarity with React, TypeScript, or Angular is a plus.
• Understanding of cloud-based data processing, with AWS and/or Azure experience preferred.
• Experience building data pipelines that support analytics, machine learning, and AI workloads.
• Working knowledge of data engineering concepts supporting LLM-based applications, including retrieval pipelines, embeddings workflows, and unstructured data processing.
• Familiarity with AI/GenAI concepts such as RAG, semantic search, document processing, and model inference workflows.
• Understanding of data governance, security, lineage, and compliance requirements, particularly in regulated environments.
• Exposure to workflow orchestration frameworks and automation patterns is a plus.
• Exposure to vector databases, semantic models, or MLOps/LLMOps concepts is a plus.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively within technical teams.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technology field

• Hours per Week: 40
• Work Schedule: Monday through Friday
