The posting

The Data Engineering Lead is a senior-level position responsible for establishing and implementing new or revised application systems and programs in coordination with the Technology team. With a specific focus on SQL development, this role leads complex database engineering, application systems analysis, and programming activities — building scalable, high-performance data solutions that power Citi's global banking operations.

Key Responsibilities

  • Partner with multiple management teams to ensure appropriate integration of functions to meet goals; identify and define necessary system enhancements to deploy new products and drive process improvements across enterprise platforms.
  • Develop, optimize, and maintain complex SQL/PL/SQL stored procedures, functions, packages, and triggers to automate high-impact data operations, entitlements, and business workflows on large-scale relational databases.
  • Resolve high-impact problems and projects through in-depth evaluation of complex business processes, system processes, and industry standards — translating ambiguous requirements into precise, scalable database solutions.
  • Provide expertise and advanced knowledge of applications programming; ensure application design and database architecture adheres to the overall enterprise blueprint, coding standards, and security policies.
  • Utilize advanced knowledge of system flow to develop and enforce standards for coding, testing, debugging, and implementation across the SQL and application development lifecycle.
  • Build interactive BI dashboards and develop ETL integration pipelines between Oracle/SQL databases and enterprise data platforms, ensuring data quality and governance compliance.
  • Provide in-depth analysis with interpretive thinking to define technical issues and develop innovative solutions; serve as an advisor and coach to mid-level developers and analysts, allocating work as appropriate.
  • Appropriately assess risk when business decisions are made, demonstrating consideration for the firm's reputation and safeguarding Citigroup, its clients and assets, by driving compliance with applicable laws, rules, regulations, and escalating control issues with transparency.

Recommended Qualifications

  • 6+ years of relevant experience in SQL/PL/SQL engineering across enterprise relational databases (Oracle, PostgreSQL).
  • Extensive experience in system analysis and programming of software applications, with a proven track record in high-performance SQL query tuning, indexing, and ETL pipeline optimization on multi-terabyte datasets.
  • Demonstrated experience managing and implementing successful projects end-to-end — from requirements gathering and FSD/TSD documentation through UAT, STG, and PROD deployment.
  • Subject Matter Expert (SME) in at least one area of Applications Development — ideally in PL/SQL database engineering, data entitlement frameworks, or enterprise BI analytics (Power BI, Tableau, Cognos).
  • Strong Agile/Scrum leadership skills — ability to serve as Scrum Master or Product Owner, lead sprint planning, author user stories in JIRA / Azure DevOps, and manage cross-functional delivery teams.
  • Ability to adjust priorities quickly as circumstances dictate — demonstrated leadership and project management skills across global, multi-stakeholder programs with competing priorities.
  • Consistently demonstrates clear and concise written and verbal communication — capable of presenting complex technical concepts to executive leadership and non-technical stakeholders.

Education:

  • Bachelor’s degree/University degree or equivalent experience
  • Master’s degree preferred

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
