• Test and validate data attributes based on source data and results from other systems to ensure accuracy.
• Create and maintain clear, detailed, and accurate metadata documentation for data integration processes and data flows.
• Stay updated with the latest trends and best practices in data integration and data warehousing.
• Lead small projects and teams to develop solutions for our customers, working with the modeling and architecture team and business analysts across multiple departments.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Qualifications:

• In-depth knowledge of the banking industry, loan and deposit systems, regulatory reporting requirements, or experience with data warehouses, data lakes, and common data models.
• Proficiency in programming and scripting languages (SQL, Python, PySpark).
• Strong troubleshooting skills.
• Excellent analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to estimate scope and schedule and commit to deadlines.
• Effective presentation and communication skills.

• 4+ years' experience in data analysis, operations support, software development, project management, or related fields, with a strong focus on fraud detection technologies and data-driven risk mitigation. A combination of education and experience may meet requirements.
• Hands-on experience with cloud-based data warehousing and analytics platforms (e.g., AWS Redshift, Google BigQuery, Azure Synapse), as well as big data ecosystems including data lakes and Databricks.
• Familiarity with fraud analytics, anomaly detection models, and real-time data processing frameworks (e.g., Apache Spark, Kafka) is highly desirable.
• Experience in the financial services industry, particularly in fraud prevention, transaction monitoring, or compliance analytics, is a strong plus.
