• Craft complex SQL transformations, optimize query performance, handle advanced window functions, and design conformed dimensional models for curated platform layers.
• Map end-to-end data flows from ingestion to serving, defining upstream/downstream contracts and data ownership boundaries.
• Architect robust batch and streaming pipelines capable of handling CDC concepts, late-arriving data, incremental loads, and rerun safety.
• Drive pipeline health monitoring, logging-driven diagnoses, and automated reconciliation checks to triage and remediate issues when data products break.
• Establish pragmatic operating frameworks for DQ issue intake, prioritization, validation, and sustainment.

• Prior consultancy or banking industry experience
• Strong Data Engineering background
• SQL / Programming
• Data Warehousing
• Root-Cause Analysis
• Data Governance
