Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Senior Principal Data Modeler - **Company:** The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation - **Location:** Jersey City, NJ, United States - **Experience:** Expert - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Data Analysis, Audit Trail, Databases, Data Architecture, Data Governance, Data Transformation, Decision Support Systems, Digital Assets, Cloud Services, Data Strategy, Apache Kafka, Event Sourcing - **Published:** August 28, 2026 - **Apply:** https://ebxr.fa.us2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/en/sites/CX_1/requisitions/preview/214534 ## About the Role * Minimum of 10 years of related experience * Bachelor's degree preferred or equivalent experience Talents Needed for Success: * 7+ years in data modeling and data architecture, including 5+ years in capital markets, clearing, or financial risk, with a demonstrable record as a senior, hands-on individual contributor rather than solely as a manager of modelers. * Depth across modeling disciplines - conceptual, logical, and physical modeling; normalized and dimensional models; and event-first modeling. You understand which approach is appropriate in each context and can defend the tradeoffs when challenged. * Risk domain fluency - position keeping, mark-to-market, exposure, margin, and VaR inputs; the full trade lifecycle, including novation, amendment, cancellation, and settlement; and genuine depth in at least one cleared asset class. * Event-driven data design - Kafka-based architectures, event sourcing, partitioning and keying strategy, schema evolution and registry discipline, and idempotency and replay semantics. * Temporal modeling depth - bi-temporal design that separates event time from knowledge time, point-in-time reconstruction, restatement and correction handling, and the audit trail expected by controllers and regulators. This is a differentiator, not a nice-to-have. ## Description As a Senior Principal Data Modeler, you will serve as a strategic leader in shaping DTCC's enterprise data architecture and data modernization journey. You will drive the development of scalable, consistent, and business-aligned data models that enable high-quality analytics, regulatory reporting, operational efficiency, and data-driven decision making across the organization. You will collaborate with business stakeholders, data architects, engineering teams, and governance organizations to define enterprise-wide data standards, semantic models, and information architectures that support both current and future business needs. Your leadership will help establish a trusted and integrated data foundation across complex domains, platforms, and products. In this role, you will influence enterprise data strategy, promote data consistency and governance, and advance modernization initiatives spanning cloud data platforms, data products, and advanced analytics capabilities. Your expertise will be instrumental in unlocking the value of DTCC's data assets while improving interoperability, transparency, and scalability across the enterprise. Your Primary Responsibilities: * Establish a unified risk data model. Define a canonical model for risk data and exposure across NSCC, FICC and DTC to enable consistent cross-CCP risk views. * Enable real-time, trusted risk analytics. Design event-sourced and bi-temporal structures enable real time computations on the stream and restated accurately when inputs change. * Drive consolidation and productization of risk data. Provide the target model and standards needed to simplify systems, databases and feeds while making risk data reusable across methodology and delivery teams. ## Related Videos - [Resilient by Design: Building Robust Architectures in High-Stakes Financial Systems](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2106-resilient-by-design-building-robust-architectures-in-high-stakes-financial-systems) - [Microservices architecture as a key element in building trading systems for global finance markets](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1196-microservices-architecture-as-a-key-element-in-building-trading-systems-for-global-finance-markets) - [Kubernetes and Microservices with Multi-Model Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/382-kubernetes-and-microservices-with-multi-model-databases) - [How to Benchmark Your Apache Kafka](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/76-how-to-benchmark-your-apache-kafka) - [Modern Data Architectures need Software Engineering](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1030-modern-data-architectures-need-software-engineering) - [Fault Tolerance and Consistency at Scale: Harnessing the Power of Distributed SQL Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1146-fault-tolerance-and-consistency-at-scale-harnessing-the-power-of-distributed-sql-databases) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Why Event-Driven Architecture Isn’t About Speed (and When You Actually Need It)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/745-why-event-driven-architecture-isn-t-about-speed-and-when-you-actually-need-it) - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou - Making AI understandable for all in production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/475-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou-making-ai-understandable-for-all-in-production) - [Data Analyst Salary in the UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/278-data-analyst-salary-in-the-uk) - [Data Analyst Salary in Switzerland](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/276-data-analyst-salary-in-switzerland) - [Top Big Data Technologies That You Need to Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/108-top-big-data-technologies-that-you-need-to-know)
