Original job description

The Lead Data Engineer owns the Navanta data backbone - public Call Report data in the early build, and secure ingestion from bank cores into lakehouses as each client’s on-premises environment is stood up. Working under the SVP of Technology and Commercial AI and in close partnership with the AI/ML, security, and platform teams, this role builds the architecturally clean, well-modeled, reconcilable data foundation that makes it possible for the Navanta AI platforms to give numbers a banker will act on.

Key Responsibilities

· Design the lakehouse: Apache Iceberg (or similar technology) on object storage, a catalog for table management and per-bank isolation, dbt models, and a query engine · Build secure, least-privilege ingestion from bank systems - log-based CDC where permitted, with query-based and batch/SFTP fallbacks, plus an in-bank collector pattern · Own data modeling for the semantic and metric layer (deposits, concentration, uninsured exposure, asset quality, and peer groups) · Handle schema drift, data quality, and reconciliation; make ingestion observable and recoverable · Partner with the AI/ML team on the structured-query path and with Security on PII classification at landing, in alignment with regulatory data-handling requirements · Document data lineage, transformation logic, and access controls to support audit and exam readiness · Define and enforce data contracts, quality thresholds, and alerting for pipeline failures Core Competencies · End-to-end ownership of ingestion-through-serving pipelines, with a bias toward reliability and observability · Rigorous data modeling for analytics - semantic layers, metric definitions, and reconcilable outputs · Security and compliance mindset: PII handling, least-privilege access, and data governance aligned to regulatory guidance · Cross-functional partnership with AI/ML and platform engineering to deliver governed, queryable data products Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) · Data freshness and pipeline reliability - SLAs met for data ingestion and bank-core feeds · Data quality score across key metrics versus source reconciliation · Time to onboard a new bank’s data environment, from kickoff to queryable lakehouse · PII classification coverage at landing and zero unauthorized data-access incidents · Semantic layer adoption - percentage of assistant queries resolved via governed metrics versus ad hoc SQL
