Key Responsibilities

• Take ownership of the overall solution architecture and data model for the Performance and Risk platform, including reference data structures, holdings and portfolio hierarchies, and the analytics warehouse.
• Develop, maintain, and enhance automated data integrations from internal applications, custodians, market data vendors, and service partners through file-based and API-based pipelines, while ensuring strong data validation, reconciliation, and governance.
• Drive the technical rollout of the risk platform, covering interface design, system setup, user permissions, user acceptance testing, parallel testing, and a carefully managed production launch.
• Manage the recurring nightly production cycle, monitor platform health, coordinate releases, and work with the vendor to keep operations stable and reliable.
• Serve as the technical bridge between investment teams and the platform vendor, turning complex technical topics into clear business updates and supporting both reporting and ad hoc data requirements for the risk function.

Requirements

• A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Finance, Financial Engineering, Information Systems, or another quantitative field; relevant professional experience may be accepted in place of formal education.
• At least 6 to 10 years of experience in technology or data engineering within financial services such as investment management, asset management, or fintech.

• Practical experience creating relational data models and analytics warehouses for financial reference data and analytical datasets.
• Demonstrated ability to build and run automated financial data pipelines using ETL/ELT and SFTP, without relying on a large engineering organization.
• Working knowledge of investment data such as positions and holdings, security identifiers, pricing, NAV, benchmarks, and OTC derivative terms.
• Exposure to enterprise risk platforms such as BlackRock Aladdin, MSCI BarraOne, or comparable systems.
