What you'll be doing

You’ll be joining CIBC’s Client Account Management (CAM) Technology team within Distribution & Cards Technology (DCT). As a Sr. Consultant, Data Developer, you’ll be a senior technical leader in CAM’s technology transformation, modernizing the collections, recovery and insolvency platforms that support CIBC Retail, Small Business and Simplii clients. You’ll own the end-to-end data solution for CAM, setting the technical direction and leading the design, development, testing and implementation of the CAM data layer, including ETL pipelines, an operational data store (ODS) and large-scale data migration. You’ll do this across a cross-functional, multi-platform, multi-vendor SaaS/PaaS ecosystem built on Microsoft Azure, Databricks, Python, Azure Data Factory and DevOps (GitHub), and you’ll act as the key technical point of contact for business partners, architecture and vendors.

At CIBC we enable the work environment most optimal for you to thrive in your role. Details on your work arrangement (proportion of on-site and remote work) will be discussed at the time of your interview.

How you'll succeed

• Technical direction and architecture: Define and own the target-state data architecture, design patterns and engineering standards for the CAM data layer. Partner with Enterprise Architecture, Data Governance and Information Security to secure design approvals and make sound trade-off decisions on scalability, resilience, cost and risk.
• Engineering delivery: Lead and contribute to the development of complex, high-volume data engineering solutions, including metadata-driven ETL pipelines that transform inbound product partner files into vendor-standard formats. Set code quality, testing, performance tuning and CI/CD standards, and remain hands-on for the most critical components.
• Product ownership: Act as the accountable technical owner for CAM data applications, driving the roadmap, delivery planning, estimates, production stability and continuous improvement, and representing the platform in governance and steering forums.
• Systems integration and vendor oversight: Lead the technical design and integration of cross-functional, multi-platform systems, including batch file and API integrations between CIBC host systems, the CAM data layer and external vendors. Hold vendors accountable to technical requirements, SLAs and delivery commitments.
• Data migration and quality: Own the data migration strategy and approach, including mapping, profiling, transformation, reconciliation, mock conversions, cutover and post-implementation verification, and define data quality controls and sign-off criteria.
• Stakeholder leadership: Influence CAM business partners, technology lines of business, business systems analysts, QA, vendors, Information Security and governance teams. Translate business needs into technical solutions, proactively raise risks, issues and dependencies, and drive decisions to meet risk and compliance standards.
• Team leadership and mentorship: Provide technical leadership to developers and contract resources, assign and review work, conduct code reviews, coach team members, and lead production readiness, incident resolution and Day 2 operations.
