Build and own global underwriting (UW) data tables and pipelines to support scoring, real-time decisioning, monitoring, and regulatory reporting. Design agent- and human-friendly schemas, canonical events, consistent IDs, metric definitions, and machine-readable data contracts with clear SLAs for freshness, completeness, accuracy and lineage. Implement and operate batch and streaming pipelines (PySpark, Airflow, Kafka, Redshift on AWS), plus observability, alerts, audits and incident reviews. Collaborate closely with credit, policy, modeling, treasury and finance teams to deliver production-grade data products for underwriting and reporting.
