Job Description

About the company

Our client is a financial technology company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own the process of bringing client data into a software platform, mapping it from source systems, resolving data issues quickly and documenting repeatable procedures. The role blends hands-on data work with explaining technical findings to colleagues outside engineering.

What you'll do

• Take ownership of mapping each new client's source data into the platform so it can be loaded and used correctly.
• Diagnose and fix live data problems, such as fields that do not map as expected or rules that are not applied correctly.
• Translate technical findings into plain explanations that client-facing teams can share with their customers.
• Document and formalize a data mapping process that currently lives mostly in team knowledge.
• Work with senior technical leaders to build reusable checks, automation and governance standards that prevent recurring issues and reduce dependence on engineering.
• Balance onboarding work with troubleshooting, with the mix shifting depending on current needs.

Requirements

What we're looking for

• Background conveying technical data problems to colleagues who work outside engineering.
• Strong SQL skills and experience working with relational databases.
• Experience onboarding customer or partner data, including mapping, loading and validating messy source files.
• Working proficiency in Python or JavaScript for verifying, reshaping and scheduling data work.
• Expert-level Excel skills.
• A record of tracing data discrepancies to their root cause and confirming the fix works.
• Two to four years of relevant experience.

Bonus points

• Experience at an early-stage startup.
• Familiarity with information and terminology from the banking or lending sector.
