The Role
A large financial services firm in Dublin is seeking a Senior Data Engineer to work on a variety of initiatives: regulatory reporting, new product launches, and platform upgrades. You will be jumping into a multi-project environment, owning pipelines end-to-end, and working closely with business, risk, and compliance folks to get the data right.
What You'll Be Doing
- Building and maintaining scalable data pipelines and ETL/ELT flows for regulatory reporting and product work.
- Taking a lead role on the CRR3 reporting programme - think data accuracy, lineage, and making sure everything stands up to regulator scrutiny.
- Writing heavy-duty SQL across Teradata, Oracle, and SQL Server - pulling, transforming, and validating data from multiple systems.
- Coding in Python for automation, data quality checks, and pipeline orchestration.
- Using Git properly: version control, code reviews, and plugging into CI/CD.
- Working with Teradata GCFR for high-volume data loads and extracts.
- Teaming up with analysts, risk, finance, and compliance to turn reporting requirements into solid technical specs.
- Putting in place data quality checks, monitoring, and alerting so critical data doesn’t break silently.
What You Bring
- 5+ years in data engineering / ETL / data platform roles - banking, financial services, or other regulated sectors is a big plus.
- Expert SQL across Teradata, Oracle, and/or SQL Server - you know how to write complex queries and make them run fast.
- Strong Python skills for data work (pandas, PySpark, or similar) and building automation.
- Real hands-on experience with Teradata GCFR for bulk loads/unloads and performance tuning.
- Solid Git habits: branching, reviews, and working in a team codebase.
- Experience delivering regulatory reporting (CRR3, COREP, FINREP, IFRS 9, or similar) is highly desirable.
- Good grasp of data modelling, dimensional modelling, and data warehouse concepts.
- Familiarity with orchestration tools (Airflow, Control-M, ADF, etc.) and job scheduling.
- Strong problem-solving and communication skills - you can talk to non-tech stakeholders without breaking a sweat.
- A degree in CS, Engineering, Maths, or similar (or equivalent real-world experience).
Bonus Points
- Cloud data platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP) and modern data stack tools.
- Data governance, lineage, and metadata management experience.
