Collaborate with data architects, engineers, data stewards, business stakeholders, risk teams, compliance teams, and technology-control functions.

Use AI-assisted development tools responsibly to improve development productivity, testing, documentation, and solution design.

Review all AI-generated outputs for security, compliance, accuracy, maintainability, and production readiness.

Maintain technical documentation, data models, governance procedures, code documentation, and operating guidelines.

Required Skills & Experience:

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Data Management, Engineering, or a related discipline.

Strong professional experience in Python development for data modelling, governance, data engineering, or enterprise integration use cases.

Hands-on experience with Collibra or a comparable metadata management and data governance platform.

Experience designing and configuring Collibra asset models, metamodels, workflows, roles, responsibilities, domains, communities, and operating models.

Strong knowledge of metadata modelling, logical data modelling, data taxonomies, data lineage, data quality, business glossaries, data catalogues, critical data elements, and governance workflows.

Practical experience with Pydantic for schema definition, validation, serialization, and configuration-driven models.

Experience with FastAPI, REST APIs, JSON, YAML, SQL, and service integration.

Experience building reusable Python libraries, automation tools, governance workflows, and data integration components.

Understanding of data architecture, enterprise information management, regulated data lifecycles, and modern engineering practices.

Experience with Git-based development, code review, automated testing, documentation, and CI/CD concepts.

Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, documentation, and stakeholder-management skills.

Experience working with large-scale financial, risk, regulatory, compliance, cyber, fraud, or technology-risk data.

Preferred Skills:

Experience with Collibra APIs, workflow development, import/export tooling, Edge, Connect, or similar integration technologies.

Experience integrating Collibra with Snowflake, Databricks, Azure, AWS, GCP, Informatica, data-quality tools, or enterprise data platforms.

Knowledge of data mesh, data products, domain-driven design, enterprise data marketplaces, and data ingestion pipelines.

Experience using AI-assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or similar.

Familiarity with financial-services standards and regulations such as BCBS 239, GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, DORA, MiFID, Basel, or Solvency II.

Knowledge of data governance, data management, cloud, or related professional certifications.

Experience with caching technologies, in-memory databases, SQLAlchemy, Pytest, or asynchronous Python development.

What You’ll Bring

A strong combination of data governance, metadata management, and software engineering expertise.

The ability to translate governance and regulatory requirements into practical, reusable technical solutions.

Strong attention to data quality, traceability, control effectiveness, and documentation.

A collaborative approach to working with business, technology, risk, compliance, and control stakeholders.

A responsible and security-conscious approach to AI-assisted software development.
