This role requires a strong understanding of how securities and other investment assets are identified, classified, priced, and mastered. The Senior Engineer traces information through connected systems, diagnoses why data did not flow or transform correctly, and coordinates durable solutions with business teams, engineers, Technology, and external data providers. The role combines investment data expertise with analytics engineering and applied statistical methods. The Senior Engineer uses SQL and Python, works within Git-based development practices, and uses established CI/CD pipelines to test and promote changes. This person must be able to learn unfamiliar tools, understand how they fit into SWIB's data environment, and apply technology to a range of business and data problems. The position also provides technical guidance and mentoring to other analysts but does not have direct staff-management responsibility. Investment Data Mastering and Pricing * Serve as a subject matter expert for security master, entity master, reference data, pricing, holdings, and related investment data. * Interpret identifiers, classifications, instrument and issuer relationships, currencies, market conventions, corporate actions, price sources, valuation timing, and other attributes that affect investment processes. * Define and maintain source-selection, golden-source, and match and master rules for assigned data domains. Data Troubleshooting * Trace data from external providers through ingestion, mastering, transformation, validation, and downstream consumption. * Investigate securities, prices, identifiers, classifications, holdings, and other records that are missing, stale, duplicated, incorrectly mapped, or rejected. * Assess the business impact of data issues and coordinate resolution across Investment Management, Operations, Risk, ETL Engineering, Technology, and external providers. * Participate as needed in after hours on call rotation in case of critical data delivery failures * Identify recurring failure patterns and implement monitoring, validation, automation, or exception-handling improvements that reduce manual intervention. Analytics Engineering and Automation * Develop and optimize SQL and Python transformations, data models, reconciliations, validation routines, and analytics-ready datasets. * Use Git for branching, commits, pull requests, code reviews, and merge conflict resolution. * Use established CI/CD pipelines to execute tests, review results, promote approved changes, and validate deployments. * Apply peer review, automated testing, controlled deployment, observability, and documentation practices to analytics workflows. * Evaluate technologies and new AI capabilities based on the problem being solved and learn new tools as SWIB's data environment evolves. Statistical Monitoring and Applied Data Science * Analyze historical patterns, distributions, relationships, and time-series behavior in investment and reference data. * Design rule-based and statistical monitors for missing, stale, unusual, or inconsistent securities, prices, holdings, classifications, and other data. * Establish thresholds and tolerances that reflect asset-class characteristics, market conditions, source behavior, and normal variation. * Back-test proposed controls and monitors against historical data before implementation. * Evaluate false positives, false negatives, detection rates, and exception volumes and adjust monitoring logic to improve its operational usefulness. * Evaluate advanced statistical or machine-learning techniques when they provide a measurable advantage over deterministic rules. * Explain statistical findings and automated alerts in practical business terms so that results remain understandable and auditable. Data Quality and Governance * Implement preventive and detective controls for timeliness, completeness, accuracy, validity, consistency, uniqueness, and referential integrity. * Monitor data-quality measures, investigate exceptions, perform impact analysis, and coordinate remediation. Solution Delivery and Technical Leadership * Lead complex initiatives and translate investment and operational needs into data models, transformation rules, validation requirements, test plans, and technical specifications. * Identify gaps in data architecture, controls, integration patterns, and support processes and recommend practical solutions. * Review solution designs, data models, SQL, Python, test plans, and documentation and provide clear, actionable feedback. * Mentor engineers in investment data, security mastering, pricing, statistical monitoring, troubleshooting, and engineering practices. * Lead discussions with key stakeholders across multiple business functions ## Related Videos - [GitOps for the people](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/461-gitops-for-the-people) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [Git for Code Reviews](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/429-git-for-code-reviews) - [Modern Data Architectures need Software Engineering](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1030-modern-data-architectures-need-software-engineering) ## Related Articles - [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) - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [Data Analyst Salary Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/277-data-analyst-salary-germany) - [Making Data Warehouses Fast: A Developer’s Story](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/107-making-data-warehouses-fast-a-developer-s-story) - [Top Big Data Technologies That You Need to Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/108-top-big-data-technologies-that-you-need-to-know)
