- Oversee the deployment of data services within cloud environments, implementing advanced security protocols and data governance standards essential for the finance industry.
- Collaborate with senior leadership to align data strategy with business objectives. Mentor data engineers through code reviews and technical guidance.
- Implement advanced monitoring and automated recovery systems to ensure the integrity and quality of high-stakes financial data.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
- Proven experience in data engineering, with a strong background in designing and implementing ETL processes within cloud environments.
- Experience within the Finance or Trading technology sector, with a proven track record of handling real-time market or transactional data.
- Strong programming skills in Python, with experience in developing robust, maintainable, and scalable data processing pipelines.
- Extensive SQL knowledge and experience.
- Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work collaboratively in a team environment.
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
Benefits
- Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses.
- Opportunities for career growth and development within a global company.
- Collaborative and inclusive work environment with exposure to cross-region operations.
- Health and wellness benefits.
