VP/AVP, Data Engineer, Group Consumer Banking and Big Data Analytics Technology, Technology & Operations Permanent

Business Function

In Group T&O, we manage the majority of the Bank’s operational processes and inspire to delight our business partners through our multiple banking delivery channels.
As a Senior Data Engineer you’ll help us discover the information hidden in vast amounts of data. You’ll help us make smarter decisions to deliver even better products and apply statistical analysis to build high quality prediction systems integrated with our products.
Responsibilities

• Analyse source data and data flows, working with structured and unstructured data.
• Manipulate high-volume, high-dimensionality data from varying sources to highlight patterns, anomalies, relationships and trends
• Understand Terada or SAS ETLs and develop alternative processed using Spark SQL and BigData technologies
• Analyse and visualize diverse sources of data, interpret results in the business context and report results clearly and concisely.
• Discover data sources, get access to them, import them, clean them up, and make them “model-ready”. You need to be willing and able to do your own ETL.
• Gather data, perform statistical analysis, draw conclusions on the impact of your optimizations and communicate results to peers and leaders.
• Create and refine features from the underlying data. You’ll enjoy developing just enough subject matter expertise to have an intuition about what features might make your model perform better, and then you’ll lather, rinse and repeat.
