About the role

We file this job under Data Engineer, by the work the posting describes.

Data engineers build and run the pipelines that copy data out of apps and outside services into a warehouse or lake, and fix them when a source changes or a load fails.

Expect SQL, Python, a cloud platform, a scheduler such as Airflow, and often tools for large data such as Spark or Kafka.

An analytics engineer works one step later, turning the raw data a data engineer lands into clean tables people can query.

  • Ensure delivery of scalable, resilient, and high-performing master data systems

  • Drive observability, data quality monitoring, and lineage tracking

Master & Reference Data Implementation

  • Implement end-to-end master data lifecycle flows (ingest → standardise → match → publish)

  • Apply event-driven and API-based integration patterns for data synchronisation

  • Ensure alignment to enterprise canonical data models and ACORD/industry standards where applicable

  • Enforce config-driven / metadata-driven processing (e.g., YAML-based mappings and rules)

  • Promote reusable ingestion, matching, and publishing patterns across domains

  • Contribute to establishing the “golden path” for domain onboarding into MDM

  • Work closely with governance tools (e.g., Collibra) to ensure metadata, lineage, and quality visibility

Data Governance, Quality & Standards

  • Embed data quality rules, validation frameworks, and exception handling into pipelines

  • Define and enforce data stewardship workflows and ownership models

  • Support implementation of reference data management (hierarchies, code sets, taxonomies)

  • Ensure auditability, traceability, and compliance across master data processes

What we’re looking for?

We are searching for an experienced lead or a senior engineer ready to step into a leadership role, with:

  • 5+ years of relevant professional experience

  • Hands-on experience with Reltio (preferred), Informatica MDM, Profisee, SAP MDM, or similar MDM platforms

  • AWS experience preferred (S3, ECS, Glue, Aurora/Postgres), though strong MDM candidates with experience on other cloud platforms will also be considered

  • Ability to write and review code in Java, Python, or another modern programming language

  • Strong understanding of:

    • Master Data Management concepts (golden record, survivorship, hierarchy management)

    • Data modelling (canonical models, 3NF, domain-driven design)

    • Data quality, data governance, and stewardship models

    • Integration patterns (API, event streaming, CDC)

  • Experience building scalable, domain-oriented data platforms

  • Ability to define reusable frameworks and “factory model” onboarding patterns

  • Strong problem-solving, communication, and stakeholder management skills

  • Experience working in large-scale transformation programmes

Nice to Have:

  • Experience with insurance data domains (Customer, Policy, Risk, Product, Supplier)

  • Knowledge of ACORD data standards

  • Experience with metadata/catalogue tools (e.g., Collibra) and data modelling tools (e.g., Erwin)
