Job Description

What is the opportunity?

Group Risk Management - Balance Sheet and Liquidity Risk (GRM-BSLR) provides independent second line oversight of all balance sheet and liquidity risks at the enterprise level.

As a Co-op Student, you will work on the data engineering behind ALM risk reporting & analytics, and support the transformation of our risk practices – building and extending data pipelines, scripting away manual processes, automating data quality checks, and applying AI tooling to work that has traditionally been done by hand.

What will you do?

• Contribute to the design, build, and optimization of ETL/ELT pipelines that ingest, transform, and consolidate ALM risk data from multiple sources into a centralized data platform
• Engineer validation logic in SQL and Python that reconciles risk data against source systems and pinpoints the root cause of discrepancies
• Convert ad-hoc checks into an automated, rule-driven data quality process with clear pass/fail reporting
• Apply AI-assisted tooling to accelerate pipeline development, validation, and documentation
• Move recurring data and reporting jobs onto a scheduler/orchestrator so they run and alert without manual intervention
• Monitor pipeline runs, resolve failures, and investigate data issues

What do you need to succeed?

• Currently enrolled at a Canadian post-secondary institution in computer science, data science, financial engineering, mathematics, statistics, or a related quantitative discipline
• Exposure to ETL/ELT concepts and data transformation logic
• Python for data manipulation, pipeline scripting, and automation
• SQL and working knowledge of relational databases
• Familiarity with AI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude Code)
• Self-driven, comfortable with ambiguity, and able to communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders

Nice-to-have

• Cloud data warehouse experience (e.g., Snowflake) for querying and transforming large datasets
• Job scheduling or workflow orchestration (e.g., Airflow) for automating recurring processes
• BI tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI) for reporting and data visualization
• Knowledge of financial markets, balance sheet management, or risk management.
