Job description
Overview

The Fintech Principal Data Engineer bridges data needs between data producers (Fintech product teams) and data consumers spanning compliance, finance, analytics, risk, and marketing. The role sits on the central Fintech Data team and carries both sides of its charter: keeping today's data estate delivering while building the target state — certified, canonically modeled domain data published once and consumed everywhere, served on a modern unified store, and made AI-ready through a financial-domain ontology.
Responsibilities
Understand how data is produced by product microservices; suggest and contribute application changes (event design, correlation IDs, data contracts)
Canonical data modeling for Fintech domain data — profile and transactional entities, cross-domain concepts, and the certified model that serves as the single source of truth
Understand how AI agents consume data and ontology concepts; contribute to the Fintech data ontology so agents reason over stated business meaning rather than inferring it from raw schemas
Understand and solve for select use-case-specific needs of data consumers in areas like finance, compliance, marketing, and risk — including owning semantic views for consumers without their own engineering
Build self-serve mechanisms and paved paths: contract tooling, certification infrastructure, and standards that let domain teams produce and publish quality data without a central bottleneck
Design and build durable cross-domain data products consumed by multiple teams
Evaluate and adopt modern data-serving technology (HTAP, online-OLAP, on-read materialization) to replace pipeline-heavy architectures — with SOX-grade consistency and lineage by construction
Partner with data stewards across Fintech domains: drive standards adoption, review models, and steward changes so producers see their consumers before a change ships
Balance tactical delivery with strategic build-out — and know when each takes priority
Understanding of Intuit products (QBO and TT) and how Fintech offerings connect to them
Qualifications
10+ years in data engineering or data architecture, with hands‑on ownership of large‑scale production data systems
Deep data modeling skill: canonical/domain modeling, schema design for both transactional and analytical consumption, and experience establishing a source of truth across many producers
Strong distributed‑systems foundations: event streaming (Kafka), CDC, microservice data patterns, and modern stores (HTAP, online‑OLAP, lakehouse); SQL mastery
Experience operating in regulated environments — SOX or equivalent controls, data lineage, auditability
Demonstrated influence without authority: setting standards other teams adopt, working across product, analytics, risk, and compliance stakeholders
Communicates at both altitudes — precise with engineers, crisp with executives
Nice to have: fintech/payments domain experience; knowledge graphs or ontologies (FIBO or similar); experience enabling AI/agentic data consumption; Python/Java
