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

As a Data Engineer at BlackRock’s Post Trade Accounting (PTA) team, you will design and implement resilient data systems that support accurate and efficient global accounting operations. Your day-to-day responsibilities include partnering with domain experts to create canonical data models and building analytics-ready datasets in Snowflake, ensuring robust ELT/ETL pipelines for both batch and real-time data ingestion. You will also establish data quality practices, optimize analytical performance, and publish curated data to downstream systems while adhering to best practices for documentation and secure handling of sensitive information. Ideal candidates have 8+ years of experience with strong SQL skills, proficiency in Python or similar languages, and hands-on experience with Snowflake and Microsoft SQL Server. Familiarity with modern data engineering practices such as CI/CD and operational monitoring is essential, along with a background in financial systems or investment technology being a plus.

What you'll do

  • Design canonical data models for trusted reporting and analytics.
  • Build and evolve Snowflake datasets with clear metric definitions for consistent enterprise reporting.
  • Develop reliable ELT/ETL pipelines across Snowflake and SQL Server for batch and real-time loads.
  • Implement robust pipeline patterns including incremental processing, idempotency, deduplication, and backfill strategies.
  • Establish data quality practices and enforce observability to maintain production-grade data products.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of experience building production data systems with ownership of data modeling and pipeline engineering.
  • Strong SQL skills, including advanced querying, performance tuning, and hands-on experience in Snowflake or Microsoft SQL Server.
  • Proven expertise in data modeling for analytics, dimensional modeling, conformed dimensions, and slowly changing dimensions.
  • Hands-on experience designing and implementing ELT/ETL pipelines, including batch and near-real-time patterns.
  • Proficiency in a general-purpose language (Python, Java, Scala) for automation, orchestration, and integrations.
  • Working knowledge of modern data engineering practices: testing transformations, CI/CD, environment promotion, operational monitoring.
