Job purpose

Design and build reusable Python frameworks that span frontend integrations, backend/middletier services, and cloud execution. Youll

translate complex posttrade data flows into robust data models, stored procedures, and regression automation, and own CI/CDincluding

scripts to run AutoSys/batch jobs and stored procedures across environments. The role also requires strong dataquality ownership: verifying

data accuracy, completeness, duplication handling, referential integrity, and conformance to business rules and transformation logic; reviewing

and validating schema structures, data types, constraints, metadata, and lineage; designing and executing datavalidation test cases; and

performing detailed sourcetotarget comparisons using SQL or automation frameworks - identifying data anomalies and document defects.

The ideal candidate brings pragmatic engineering discipline, capitalmarkets data intuition, and a builders mindset.

Key responsibilities

1) Python engineering reusable frameworks

Build modular Python packages (data processing, API clients, orchestration adapters), publishable to internal artifact repositories;

enforce code quality, testing, and documentation standards.

Develop backend services/APIs (e.g., FastAPI/Flask) and CLI tools to support frontend, middletier, and cloud workflows;

implement resilient error handling, observability hooks, and secure secrets usage.

2) Data modeling, SQL stored procedures

Design relational schemas and write/optimize complex SQL (windowing, CTEs, partitioning); author and refactor stored

procedures (SQL Server/Oracle/Postgres) with attention to edge cases and performance.

Build datavalidation utilities that compare large datasets across environments and produce diffs for regression packs.

3) Posttrade domain, test automation regression

Map posttrade flows (allocations, clearing/settlement, confirmations, reconciliations) into datasets, rules, and assertions for

repeatable regression.

Read and translate storedproc logic into automated test scripts; build a central repository of reusable checks integrated into

CI/CD.

Nice to have: familiarity with trade/blotter platforms (e.g., ION) or similar posttrade systems.

4) CI/CD, DevOps environment promotion

Design and operate multistage CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps/Jenkins/GitLab) for code, data artifacts, and SQL deployables;

implement approvals, rollbacks, environment strategy, and quality gates (lint, SAST/DAST, tests).

Containerize services where appropriate; integrate with AKS/Kubernetes or serverless jobs, and wire up metrics/alerts for

runtime health.

5) Scheduling, batch operationalization

Script the execution of AutoSys/batch jobs and stored procedures across dev/UAT/prod; add runbooks, logging, and guardrails;

enable reliable, auditable promotions through environments.

6) Data validation

Perform comprehensive data validation across all stages of the data lifecycle

Validate data accuracy, consistency, completeness, timeliness, and adherence to business rules and transformation logic.

Identify and analyze data anomalies, integrity issues, schema mismatches, duplicate records, null handling problems, and referential integrity violations.

Execute SQL queries to validate data rules, transformation outputs, and pipeline results; independently troubleshoot data

discrepancies and log defects with clear impact analysis.

Design and maintain reusable test cases, validation scenarios, and automated data verification scripts where applicable.

Validate metadata, schema structures, data types, constraints, primary/foreign key relationships, and data lineage compliance.

Key competencies

57 years of handson software engineering with Python (incl. packaging, virtual envs, unit/integration testing); strong use of libraries such as pandas, SQLAlchemy/pyodbc, and asyncio/celery for pipelines and services.

Expert SQL skills and storedproc development (SQL Server/Oracle/Postgres), query tuning, and executionplan analysis for large datasets.

Proven experience designing CI/CD pipelines and automating promotion (code + data + DB objects) with Azure DevOps/Jenkins/GitLab; strong Git practices and codereview hygiene.

Comfort with schedulers (AutoSys/ControlM/Airflow) and shell/Python scripting for batch orchestration; familiarity with secrets management and environment configuration.

Domain understanding of posttrade data flows and how to encode them into repeatable regression checks.

Perform end-to-end data validation across the lifecycle, ensuring accuracy, completeness, consistency, referential integrity, and adherence to business rules and transformation logic.

Execute SQL-based source to target checks, validate schemas (data types, constraints, metadata, lineage), and identify anomalies such as duplicates, null issues, and mismatches; investigate and log defects with clear impact analysis.

Design and maintain reusable data validation test cases and automated verification scripts to support scalable, repeatable quality checks.

Good analytical skills to understand posttrade or financial datasets and translate them into repeatable validation scenarios (Capital

Markets domain knowledge is good to have).

Experience working with test case management tools (e.g., JIRA, XRay) and following agile development practices.

Ability to contribute to QA processes, including manual testing, data validation, and regression testing for critical applications.

Strong attention to detail, good communication skills, and a willingness to learn and grow within a data engineering/testing

environment.

Good to have

Cloud exposure (Azure/AWS), containers/Kubernetes, infrastructure as code (Bicep/Terraform), and DevSecOps gates

(Sonar/Mend/ZAP).

Experience with capitalmarkets platforms (e.g., ION blotter integrations) and messaging/API patterns in trading data stacks.

Soft Skills:

1. Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills (written and verbal).

2. Strong organizational abilities with meticulous attention to detail.

3. Ability to work independently with minimal supervision and collaboratively in cross-functional teams.
