Job Description

Are you passionate about building secure, robust backend services that power critical business functions? Join our team and help shape the future of risk data governance through innovative engineering solutions. In this role, you'll have the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies while contributing to a platform that serves as the backbone for risk management across our organization.

About the Role

As a Software Engineer on our Data Directory platform, you'll be at the intersection of data governance, security, and backend development. You'll craft elegant solutions that empower risk professionals to access and manage critical data with confidence, while ensuring the highest standards of security and data integrity.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop backend services using Java and Python that power our data governance platform
• Create and maintain API-based interfaces that expose metadata and governance information
• Engineer database solutions with focus on schema design, data models, and maintaining data integrity
• Build and operate cloud services on Microsoft Azure following enterprise standards
• Implement security measures when handling sensitive risk-related metadata

• Collaborate across teams with development, DevOps, and business analytics professionals
• Apply secure-by-design principles throughout the development lifecycle
• Implement authentication systems using OAuth2 for API security
• Develop comprehensive testing including unit and integration tests to ensure quality

About the Team

The Risk Management Data Pools application team is responsible for maintaining and evolving Data Directory, the central platform that manages metadata and governance for Risk Management data feeds. Our team ensures that critical risk data is transparent, accessible, and secure across the organization, enabling informed decision-making and regulatory compliance.

About You

You're a collaborative problem-solver who takes pride in writing clean, maintainable code. You communicate effectively with both technical and business stakeholders and understand the importance of balancing delivery speed with security and long-term maintainability.

• Strong understanding of database schemas, data modelling, and relational concepts

These are additional nice to haves:

• Experience with metadata-driven systems or data governance platforms
• Familiarity with AI coding agents and responsible use in software development
• Exposure to regulated or risk-related environments
• Understanding of CI/CD and DevOps collaboration models
• Experience working in financial services or risk management domains
