The ideal candidate is a technical expert with a passion for building scalable, high-quality data solutions.

  • Partner closely with the head of Finance Data and Analytics to translate complex business requirements into reliable, high-impact data products.
  • Take ownership of the data platform's stability and governance. Ensure new data products are fully documented and tested for quality in the data pipeline models.

  •  8+ years of progressive, hands-on data engineering experience, delivering scalable data solutions in production environments.

  • Expert-level proficiency in SQL and data modeling, with a strong ability to design and optimize complex data structures.

  • Extensive, practical experience with dbt (Cloud or Core)—this is a core requirement for the role.

  • Deep experience working with modern cloud data warehouse technologies, such as Amazon Redshift or Snowflake.

  •  Industry experience in financial services, energy, or commodity trading is strongly preferred.

  • Familiarity with data governance platforms (e.g., Atlan) and data observability tools (e.g., Monte Carlo).

  • Experience working within Agile/Scrum development frameworks.

  • Proven leadership in driving complex data initiatives, including managing and mentoring small engineering teams.

  • Exceptional communication and collaboration skills, with a track record of elevating team technical capabilities.

  • Demonstrated success partnering across technical and business teams to deliver data solutions aligned with organizational goals.

  • Must be able to work effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic and high-intensity environment including open-floor plan if applicable to the position, with timely responsiveness and the ability to work beyond normal business hours when required.
