Key responsibilities include developing and maintaining end-to-end data pipelines, optimizing data warehouse performance in Snowflake, integrating data platforms with AI/ML workloads on AWS, supporting production environments, performing root cause analysis, and driving CI/CD and automation best practices using tools such as GitHub, GitHub Actions, and TeamCity. Experience in Banking, Financial Crime, AML, or Fraud domains will be highly valued. This is an excellent opportunity to work on cutting-edge cloud-based data engineering initiatives within a complex enterprise banking ecosystem while contributing to data-driven business outcomes and innovation. Responsibilities Design, develop, and maintain scalable ETL processes and large-scale data pipelines using Spark and Scala. Build and support batch data processing solutions across enterprise data platforms. Develop and optimize data solutions using Snowflake for warehousing, integration, and performance tuning. Work with the Hadoop ecosystem (HDFS, Hive) for data storage and processing. Design and optimize SQL queries for high-volume datasets and ensure efficient data retrieval. Develop and manage data solutions on AWS using services such as S3, Glue, Athena, and Redshift. Integrate data pipelines with AI/ML and analytics workloads on AWS. Collaborate with business and technology teams to deliver end-to-end data engineering solutions within the Banking domain. Implement and support CI/CD pipelines using GitHub, GitHub Actions, TeamCity, or similar tools. Develop automation scripts using Shell Scripting. Provide production support, including incident resolution, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis. Follow clean coding standards, secure coding practices, and code review processes. Participate in performance optimization, release deployments, and ongoing platform improvements. Communicate effectively with stakeholders and contribute to problem-solving across the data engineering lifecycle. Skills Must have Overall 5-8 years of total experience and 3-5 years of hands-on experience in Data Engineering. Strong hands-on experience with Spark and Scala for ETL development and data pipeline implementation. Experience working with the Hadoop ecosystem, including HDFS and Hive. Strong expertise in SQL, including query optimization, performance tuning, and handling large-volume datasets. Proven experience in building and maintaining large-scale data pipelines and batch processing solutions. Hands-on experience with Snowflake for data warehousing, data integration, and performance optimization. Exposure to AI/ML-driven data solutions on AWS cloud platforms and integration of data pipelines with analytics and machine learning workloads. Strong end-to-end Banking domain knowledge combined with extensive Data Engineering experience in large-scale enterprise environments. Hands-on experience with AWS data services such as S3, Glue, Athena, and Redshift. Experience with GitHub, GitHub Actions, and TeamCity (or similar CI/CD tools). Proficiency in Shell scripting. Experience in production support, including incident management and root cause analysis. Strong understanding of clean coding standards, secure coding practices, and code review processes.
