Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain detailed data mapping and data flow diagrams to support financial risk and capital markets initiatives.

• Translate complex business requirements into clear and actionable technical specifications and BRDs.

• Collaborate with Agile squads to deliver high-impact solutions in a fast-paced environment.

• Perform advanced SQL queries for data extraction, transformation, and analysis.

• Create source-to-target mappings for data integration across systems.

• Utilize Azure Synapse and Azure OpenAI for scalable data analytics and reporting.

2. Certifications in Agile methodologies, financial risk, or data analytics tools.

3. Experience with additional cloud platforms, data visualization tools, or regulatory reporting systems

4. Technical expertise in Azure Databricks, PySpark, and Python.

Education:
