  • Architect scalable solutions for high-volume and high-velocity data using distributed Big Data technologies.
  • Design batch, near-real-time, and streaming data pipelines supporting fraud detection, monitoring, analytics, and decisioning.
  • Define conceptual, logical, and physical data models across customer and fraud domains.
  • Establish integration patterns across legacy systems, enterprise data platforms, APIs, messaging, and distributed data environments.
  • Review existing data platforms and identify opportunities to simplify data movement, eliminate duplication, improve accessibility, and establish trusted data sources.
  • Partner with Fraud, Data, Engineering, AI/ML, Risk, and Architecture teams to translate business requirements into implementable technical solutions.
  • Ensure appropriate data quality, lineage, metadata, security, privacy, traceability, and governance controls.
  • Support data consumption for fraud analytics, AI/ML models, operational workflows, investigations, and real-time decisioning.
  • Provide technical leadership through design, development, implementation, performance tuning, and production rollout.
Required Experience
  • Strong experience as a hands-on Data Architect / Lead Data Engineer / Data Solution Architect within large-scale financial services or enterprise environments.
  • Strong experience working with customer, account, transaction, payment, and relationship data.
  • Deep understanding of Big Data and distributed data processing architectures.
  • Hands-on experience with technologies such as Hadoop, Spark, Kafka, and related distributed data technologies.
  • Strong experience with SQL, data modeling, data transformations, and large-scale data processing.
  • Experience designing high-volume batch and real-time / event-driven data architectures.
  • Strong understanding of ETL/ELT, APIs, messaging, data ingestion, transformation, and integration patterns.
  • Experience integrating data across legacy platforms, relational databases, distributed data platforms, and enterprise applications.
  • Strong conceptual, logical, and physical data modeling experience.
  • Understanding of data governance, lineage, metadata, data quality, security, and privacy within regulated environments.
  • Ability to move beyond architecture diagrams and work directly with engineering teams to validate designs, solve implementation issues, and drive solutions through delivery.
Preferred Experience
  • Experience within Fraud, Payments, Retail Banking, Cards, Financial Crime, or Customer Data domains.
  • Understanding of fraud use cases including transaction monitoring, behavioral analytics, customer identity, device intelligence, fraud detection, and investigation.
  • Experience creating Customer 360 / unified customer data architectures across complex enterprise environments.
  • Exposure to data architectures supporting AI/ML, feature engineering, model execution, and real-time decisioning.
  • Experience with large-scale data modernization, platform consolidation, or data transformation programs.
