This includes organizing and storing legacy data from retired applications, as well as building APIs for real-time data collection and archiving to ensure regulatory compliance.

• Code, test, document, and maintain standardized, automated data pipelines that form the basis of an Archive Service.

• Assist in building and managing the infrastructure needed for optimal data extraction, transformation, and loading from various data sources.

• Build analytics tools that utilize the data pipeline to provide key business performance metrics.

• Develop reporting services across Storage services using PowerBI and associated tools.

• Collaborate with stakeholders, including business, Product, Data, and Design teams, to assist with data-related technical issues and support their data infrastructure needs.

• Anticipate and innovate to further develop the bank's archiving solutions.

Key Areas of Responsibility

• Anticipate demand and innovate existing solutions.

• Code, test, document, and maintain standardized, automated data pipelines.

• Help design and build infrastructure for optimal data extraction, transformation, and loading from various sources.

• Build analytics tools leveraging the data pipeline for actionable insights into customer acquisition, operational efficiency, and key business performance metrics.

• Ensure thorough testing, documentation, and handover to the customer.

• Deliver results within aggressive timelines.

• Communicate progress and risks to the team.
