• Design and optimize SQL stored procedures, functions, views, and tables for data aggregation, tagging (e.g., GOCs, Transaction Types), and validation in a multi-zone data warehouse architecture.
• Implement and troubleshoot scheduled ETL workflows using Control-M, ensuring seamless data flow to the Munich IO Hub and handling on-demand processes via Appian UI.
• Collaborate on data modeling, SCD Type 2 changes, hash-based change detection, and aggregation for IFRS17 financial reporting compliance.
• Build and optimize pipelines on Databricks for large-scale financial and actuarial data processing, integrating with Azure SQL Server and Oracle systems to support IFRS17 reporting.
• Support incident resolution, monitoring (via Dynatrace), and deployment across Dev, QA, UAT, and Prod environments, including version control with TFS and integration testing.
• Enhance reporting interfaces using Power BI and Appian for business users, including aggregation approvals and status monitoring.
• Manage security and access via Active Directory groups, linked servers, and IAM provisioning.

Your Profile:

• University degree preferably in Computer engineering / IT or similar qualification
• 3+ of experience of delivering results in a fast paced, global and regulated business environment, preferably in application release management, change management or project management
• Background in financial/actuarial data processing (e.g., IFRS17 standards) and regulatory compliance, with proven hands-on IFRS17 reporting implementation experience.
• Proficiency in T-SQL, SQL Server (including stored procedures, functions, and performance tuning) and Azure SQL Server for data warehousing.
• Strong experience with SSIS for ETL development, including package execution, error handling, and integration with linked servers.
• Hands-on experience with Databricks (PySpark/SQL) for advanced data transformations and large-scale processing.
• Strong understanding of Oracle databases, including querying, performance optimization, and integration with ETL workflows.
• Knowledge of data warehouse concepts (e.g., SCD Type 2, hashing for change detection, RI checks, and aggregation by GOC).
• Familiarity with scheduling tools like Control-M and monitoring tools like Dynatrace for job execution and alerts.
• Experience with Appian for UI development (e.g., job triggering, approvals) and Power BI for reporting and dashboards.
