TL;DR · Senior Data Architect / Data Engineer, Vice President

Senior Data Architect/Data Engineer, Aladdin Engineering - Vice President joins the Post Trade Accounting team to build resilient systems powering global post-trade operations. This role involves designing canonical data models from conceptual to physical stages and developing reliable ELT/ETL pipelines for both batch and low-latency ingestion. The engineer will build analytics-ready datasets in Snowflake, manage high-volume real-time data using Redis and distributed event streaming platforms, and ensure data quality through observability practices like freshness and accuracy checks. Key technical requirements include advanced SQL skills, proficiency in Python, Java, or Scala, and experience with dimensional modeling. The role addresses the challenge of providing accurate, scalable accounting across global operations by managing complex data flows into downstream systems like Elasticsearch and Cosmos DB while ensuring secure handling of sensitive information within a high-volume financial environment.

What you'll do

  • Design canonical data models from conceptual to physical layers to power trusted reporting and downstream integrations.
  • Build and maintain analytics-ready datasets in Snowflake using clear metric definitions for consistent enterprise reporting.
  • Develop reliable ELT/ETL pipelines across Snowflake and SQL Server for batch and low-latency data ingestion.
  • Implement robust pipeline patterns including incremental processing, idempotency, deduplication, and backfill strategies.
  • Establish and enforce data quality and observability practices such as freshness checks, alerting, and runbooks.
  • Optimize analytical performance and costs by applying Snowflake best practices and SQL Server performance tuning.
  • Publish curated data to downstream serving layers like Elasticsearch and Cosmos DB with clear contracts.
  • Manage documentation, lineage, schema evolution, and secure handling of sensitive PII data.

What we're looking for

  • B.S./M.S. in Computer Science, Engineering, or related discipline (or equivalent practical experience).
  • 8+ years of experience building production data systems with ownership of data modeling and pipeline engineering.
  • Advanced SQL skills including querying, performance tuning, and hands-on experience in Snowflake and/or Microsoft SQL Server.
  • Proven experience in analytical data modeling using dimensional modeling, star schemas, and conformed dimensions.
  • Hands-on experience designing and implementing ELT/ETL pipelines for batch and near-real-time patterns.
  • Proficiency in at least one general-purpose language such as Python, Java, or Scala for automation and orchestration.
  • Working knowledge of modern data engineering practices including testing, CI/CD, and operational monitoring.
  • Experience with dbt, orchestration tools (Dagster, Prefect), streaming platforms, or cloud-native infrastructure (preferred).
