• File Transfer Oversight: Monitor FTP/SFTP and managed file transfer pipelines, ensuring scheduled data deliveries execute reliably and completely.
• IT Office Support: Provide basic IT setup and user support as needed in the office

2. Failure Identification & Resolution

Includes (but is not limited to) the following tasks:

• Root Cause Analysis: Diagnose failures in API connections, automated pipelines, and data flows, tracing issues to their root cause and documenting findings.
• Issue Resolution: Resolve integration failures in a timely manner, working with internal technical teams and external counterparties as required.
• Incident Logging: Maintain accurate records of incidents, resolutions, and workarounds to support knowledge transfer and recurring issue prevention.

3. Process Automation within Azure

Includes (but is not limited to) the following tasks:

• Automation Contribution: Contribute to the design and implementation of automated workflows within Microsoft Azure, reducing manual touchpoints across investment operations.
• Azure Services: Work with Azure Logic Apps, Function Apps, and related services to build or maintain integration and automation solutions.
• Process Identification: Identify operational processes that are candidates for automation and propose practical solutions aligned with existing infrastructure.

4. Technical Documentation

Includes (but is not limited to) the following tasks:

• Documentation Maintenance: Maintain and expand the technical documentation library for existing integrations, including runbooks, data flow maps, and configuration records.
• Handover Notes: Keep handover documentation current to ensure continuity across the team and support onboarding of new team members.
• Standards Compliance: Ensure that documentation standards are applied consistently across all integration workstreams.

5. Collaboration with Internal Teams & Clients

Includes (but is not limited to) the following tasks:

• Internal Collaboration: Work closely with operations, data, and reporting teams to understand integration requirements and ensure technical solutions meet business needs.
• Client-Facing Support: Interact directly with clients on technical requests relating to their connections and data feeds, providing clear and responsive communication.
• Requirements Translation: Translate operational and client requirements into integration specifications that can be implemented or escalated to senior developers.

6. Development Best Practices & Continuous Improvement

Includes (but is not limited to) the following tasks:

• Code Quality: Write clean, maintainable code in SQL and C#, following team standards for version control and peer review.
• AI-Assisted Development: Actively use AI development tools — such as GitHub Copilot and Claude — to accelerate problem solving, improve code quality, and reduce resolution time on integration issues.
• Process Improvement: Continuously identify opportunities to improve integration reliability, reduce manual effort, and improve data quality across the Catalyst platform.
• Tooling Awareness: Stay current on relevant Azure services, API patterns, and automation tooling — including emerging AI capabilities — to contribute informed input to the team's technical direction.
