• Establish database performance engineering practices including query optimization, capacity planning, workload management, observability, backup, recovery, high availability and disaster recovery.
• Design metadata-driven configuration for report mappings, validation rules, thresholds, regulatory changes, schedule dependencies and source-to-report lineage.
• Lead database design reviews, migration planning, data quality controls, proof-of-concepts and production-readiness assessments while mentoring engineers and maintaining architecture documentation.
• Experience in banking, regulatory reporting, AML, KYC, transaction monitoring, risk, compliance, finance or other data-intensive regulated platforms.
• Exposure to Azure SQL, Azure Database for PostgreSQL, Cosmos DB, Databricks, Snowflake, BigQuery, cloud data lakes or lakehouse architectures.
• Working knowledge of NoSQL, graph and vector technologies such as Cosmos DB, MongoDB, Neo4j, pgvector, Pinecone, Weaviate or Milvus, with judgment on when each is appropriate.
• Experience with Python, PySpark, dbt, Airflow, Kafka, schema registries, data catalogues, CDC tools and automated database deployment using CI/CD and infrastructure as code.
• Familiarity with MDRM-driven regulatory data, XBRL/XML outputs, source-to-report reconciliation, controls evidence, AI/RAG retrieval patterns and human-review workflows.
