Perform root-cause analysis across OFSAA, ETL/IETL, Oracle DB, file ingestion, and scheduling layers.
Design permanent fixes for recurring issues, data breaks, and performance bottlenecks while proactively identifying and remediating technical risks before they impact AML operations.
Data Quality, Controls & Reconciliation
Design and oversee technical data quality controls, validations, and reconciliations feeding TM scenarios.
Ensure technical integrity between source systems, staging layers, and OFSAA TM tables.
Partner with data and controls teams to embed preventive and detective controls directly into TM pipelines.
Change Delivery & Regulatory Initiatives
Lead technical delivery for scenario changes, tuning, threshold updates, lookbacks, and regulatory commitments.
Drive TM changes through the SDLC with a strong focus on testability, traceability, and audit readiness.
Support audits, exams, and model risk reviews by providing clear technical explanations, evidence, and system traceability.
Technical Leadership & Mentorship
Provide hands-on technical leadership and mentorship to engineers, developers, and vendor teams on OFSAA TM internals, AML platform design, and production engineering best practices.
Conduct rigorous reviews of code, SQL, job definitions, and technical solutions.
