Introduction to the Team
- Data Ops Services’ mission is to ensure adequate servicing of all data interfaces supported by our data platform. It covers a large spectrum of interfaces, from very critical order processing to more regular analytical systems.
- The Data Ops team is supporting global systems serving the entire group worldwide.
- As our platform and data landscape evolve, we would like to strengthen our team with a skilled Data Engineer specialised in Talend and enterprise‑grade ETL / ESB integrations.
As the technological landscape continues to evolve, our integration framework is modernising likewise. Microservices, API gateway management and Kafka are all technologies at the centre of this team.

Main Responsibilities
- Design, implement and maintain ETL/ELT data pipelines (batch and near real time) using Qlik Talend and related integration components.
- Develop and operate ESB‑style integrations between core banking systems, data platforms and downstream applications, ensuring robustness, scalability and reusability.
- Take operational ownership of Talend (change management, data quality management, SLA monitoring, SOPs and runbooks).
- Monitor and ensure the smooth operation of critical data pipelines, including incident analysis, root cause identification and implementation of preventive measures.
- Apply CI/CD practices using the existing framework to automate and streamline deployments and configuration changes.
- Implement controls using the observability framework, ensuring service continuity and accuracy.
- Create, maintain and improve documentation and operational procedures for the data integrations under your ownership.
- Collaborate with cross‑functional teams (application owners, architects, business analysts, data consumers) to design integration patterns and improve governance around data flows.
