• Provide business intelligence support for trade and collateral monitoring, financial reporting, product performance analysis, and forecasting initiatives

• Translate complex business requirements into scalable analytics solutions that address key financial and risk management needs

• Participate in code reviews and contribute to best practices for data engineering and analytics development

• Mentor junior team members and share knowledge to elevate the team's technical capabilities

What you bring:

• 5+ years of experience in data engineering or analytics development, with demonstrated expertise in data mart architecture, design, and management

• Strong proficiency in SQL with the ability to write complex queries, optimize performance, and work with large-scale datasets

• Experience working at brokerage operations or financial services, with knowledge of accounting principles and market risk concepts (preferred)

• Familiarity with regulatory reporting requirements and financial product structures (a plus)

• Hands-on experience building and orchestrating data pipelines using modern tools such as dbt, Airflow, or similar workflow management platforms

• Working knowledge of cloud infrastructure, particularly AWS services (S3, Redshift, Snowflake or equivalent)

• Proficiency in Python for data manipulation, automation, and scripting

• Experience with version control systems, particularly Git and GitHub, including branching strategies, pull requests, and code reviews

• Proven ability to translate complex business requirements into scalable, data-driven solutions

• Strong data visualization skills with experience using tools such as Tableau, Looker, Power BI, or similar platforms

• Understanding of analytics engineering principles and best practices for building maintainable, well-documented data models
