Build production-grade solutions, in addition to data models and pipelines, covering user, transaction, and compliance data across retail and institutional product lines, designing for durability, auditability, and consumption by both analysts and AI agents.

Partner with upstream engineering teams, Compliance leadership, and downstream consumers to close data gaps, absorb product changes proactively, and define the standards that make compliance data trustworthy and self-serve. Lead the team's response to live regulatory exams, audits, and time-sensitive data requests, ensuring accuracy and timeliness under pressure while building repeatable processes that reduce future manual effort. Shape engineering standards and technical culture across the Compliance Data team through architectural decisions, code reviews, mentorship, and converting tribal knowledge into durable, documented infrastructure. Required Skills and Experience: 8+ years of experience in analytics engineering, data engineering, or data-intensive technical roles, with demonstrated technical leadership across teams or domains.

Proven ability to lead under regulatory pressure, including delivering accurate data for exams, audits, or filings where errors have material consequences.
