The successful candidate will bring expertise in cloud, data engineering, software development, and AI/ML technologies, partnering across Ethoca and Mastercard to design and implement production-ready data platforms, applications, APIs, and AI-enabled solutions.

Role:

• Lead the development of ETL/ELT processes, data movement, streaming and batch data solutions, and enterprise analytics capabilities.
• Design, build, and support scalable applications, APIs, services, user interfaces, and AI-enabled solutions.
• Drive data lake and cloud initiatives while supporting large-scale data platforms in Azure and on-premise environments.
• Maintain and enhance SAP HANA-based data warehouse environments with a focus on reliability, security, scalability, and performance.
• Partner with product, analytics, architecture, and engineering teams to translate business requirements into production-ready data, AI, and application solutions.
• Support deployments, migrations, upgrades, automation initiatives, and production operations.
• Contribute to the evolution of cloud architecture, development standards, and engineering best practices.

All About You:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Demonstrated experience designing and delivering enterprise-scale data warehouse and data lake solutions.
• Strong data modelling, data integration, and SQL expertise.
• Advanced programming skills with exposure to Java, JavaScript, Python, R, or similar technologies.
• Experience designing and supporting large-scale data platforms, applications, and distributed systems.
• Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure and automation, preferably within Azure environments.
• Hands-on experience with full stack development, including APIs, backend services, application logic, and user interface development.
• Experience with data integration tools such as Apache NiFi, Azure Data Factory, Pentaho, Talend, or similar platforms.
• Knowledge of streaming data technologies such as Kafka and analytics engines such as Spark or Storm.
• Experience working with Git, source control, CI/CD, deployment pipelines, and DevOps practices.
• Strong troubleshooting, performance tuning, and problem-solving capabilities.
• Experience applying AI and machine learning techniques to solve business problems and support intelligent decision-making.
• Familiarity with AI-enabled applications, model-driven services, automation, and production ML deployments.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across technical and business teams.
• Experience operating within highly regulated, security-focused environments, including PII and PCI-DSS requirements.

Preferred Experience:

• Experience within banking, payments, fintech, e-commerce, or credit card industries is highly desirable.
• Exposure to both SaaS and on-premise architectures, along with experience supporting SAP HANA or Teradata environments, will be considered a strong asset.
