Key Accountabilities:
* Build, extend, and optimise data flows relating to Oracle GL and PRISM positions across staging, core, and reporting layers.

* Add or update validation rules, data quality checkpoints, reconciliations, and monitoring scripts.
* Support defect analysis and resolution across SIT/UAT cycles.
* Partner with Finance, Reporting, Risk, and Infrastructure teams to ensure functional and technical alignment.
* Support production deployments, release planning, and post go live troubleshooting.
* Produce technical design documents, data mapping artefacts, lineage diagrams, and runbooks.
* Ensure all development is version controlled and follows bank governance, standards, and SDLC processes.
* Provide audit ready artefacts including testing evidence, controls documentation, and technical impact assessments.
* Modify existing data flows to incorporate new PRISM positions without breaking existing processes.
* Build new transformations, enrichment logic, staging tables, and curated domain layers as required.
* Produce unit tests, regression tests, and data validation queries.
* Support SIT and UAT cycles with test data creation, reruns, and defect fixes.
* Perform reconciliation with Finance and Regulatory outputs to confirm data correctness.
* Work with DBAs and Operations teams to promote code through environments.
* Support release weekends or controlled deployment events where needed.
* Provide root cause analysis for data or pipeline issues.
* Maintain accurate documentation for mappings, logic, flows, technical designs, and controls.
Develop and enhance ETL/ELT pipelines supporting Oracle GL and PRISM data integration.
Skills & Experience:
* Strong expertise in SQL Server (Apply online only)), including advanced T SQL.
* Hands on experience with ETL frameworks, ideally SSIS, including package development, debugging, and optimisation.
* Solid understanding of data modelling, schema design, indexing, and performance optimisation.
* Ability to work with complex data structures in Finance or Risk domains.
* Familiarity with PRISM, GL accounting data flows, or financial system integrations (highly desirable).
* Proven ability to design and build scalable, automated data pipelines.
* Experience creating data quality rules, validation checks, and reconciliation logic.
* Strong understanding of lineage, metadata, and control frameworks.
* Ability to investigate data discrepancies, trace lineage across multiple layers, and resolve root causes.
