You will collaborate with business users and technical teams to deliver reliable, high-performance data solutions that meet current and future business needs.
The ideal candidate has extensive experience within the banking domain, strong knowledge of banking products, core banking systems, financial data, and hands-on experience with SQL Server, Python, Airflow, and Git. Experience working with legacy technologies such as MS Access, Excel, and text-based data sources is highly valued. Knowledge of Microsoft Azure technologies and hands-on experience with Data Governance best practices will be considered a strong advantage as the bank continues its journey toward a modern cloud-based data platform.
As the Data & Advanced Analytics department, we are moving into the heart of data delivery within GarantiBBVA International. We are a small team of ambitious engineers who enjoy solving complex technical challenges and helping the organization become truly data driven.
We work closely with business stakeholders to automate reporting processes, onboard new data sources, and deliver high-quality data solutions that support regulatory, financial, and management reporting. Our environment offers the opportunity to modernize legacy systems while building a scalable, enterprise-grade data platform.
You are open-minded, naturally curious, and genuinely passionate about learning and making a positive impact. You enjoy taking ownership, embrace new challenges, and can balance multiple priorities while remaining calm under pressure.
You think proactively and are always one step ahead, looking for opportunities to improve the way things are done. Rather than focusing on problems, you look for solutions and enjoy working together with both colleagues and stakeholders to achieve shared goals.
You are empathetic, approachable, and customer-focused. You take the time to understand different perspectives, listen actively, and build strong relationships based on trust and respect. You believe that the best outcomes are achieved through collaboration and by putting the customer at the heart of every decision.
You are not afraid to question the status quo. You naturally think outside the box, ask "how" and "why," and enjoy navigating a fast-changing and complex environment with curiosity, adaptability, and resilience.
Above all, you believe that people are our greatest asset and actively contribute to maintaining and strengthening the unique culture of Garanti BBVA International. You embrace the richness of our multicultural environment, value diverse perspectives and backgrounds, and help create an inclusive workplace where everyone feels respected, supported, and empowered to grow.
