• Ensure lineage, auditability, traceability, and controlled publication of mastered data.

SQL, ETL, and Data Integration

• Develop, optimize, and maintain complex SQL queries, stored procedures, views, functions, and data transformations used by EDM workflows.
• Perform SQL-based data profiling, reconciliation, enrichment, deduplication, and exception analysis.
• Build and support ETL pipelines for loading data from vendors, internal applications, data warehouses, data lakes, and operational systems.
• Create source-to-target mappings and transformation rules for security-reference-data feeds.
• Optimize query performance, indexing strategies, batch processing, and high-volume data loads.
• Troubleshoot failed loads, workflow errors, data discrepancies, and performance bottlenecks.
• Support inbound and outbound integrations using files, databases, APIs, messaging platforms, and other enterprise integration mechanisms.
• Work with market- and reference-data feeds from providers such as Bloomberg, ICE, Refinitiv/LSEG, and other relevant sources, where applicable.
• Develop reconciliation controls to confirm completeness, accuracy, timeliness, and consistency across upstream and downstream systems.

Required Technical Skills
