trade volume patterns, and rebalancing activity signals.
Flink Analytics Architecture: Architect the Apache Flink deployment downstream
of Gold topics for real-time cross-client aggregations - windowed rollups (5-
min/hourly/daily), complex event processing (unusual trading activity patterns), and
streaming joins across entity types.
Federated ML Architecture: Design the architecture for federated ML models using
federated learning frameworks - local training on each client ODS, gradient
aggregation in confidential enclaves, differential privacy on gradient updates to
prevent gradient inversion attacks. Define use cases: cross-client anomaly
detection, industry-wide risk signal models, shared compliance patterns.
Feature Store Architecture: Architect the Feature Store (Hopsworks/Feast)
integration - how Flink-computed features (sliding window calculations) are served
for both batch training and real-time inference at sub-millisecond latency.
Confidential Compute Vendor Evaluation: Lead the technical evaluation of Azure
Confidential Clean Rooms vs. Opaque Systems. Define evaluation criteria, run pilot
architectures for both, and make a vendor recommendation based on maturity,
financial services fit, and long-term strategic alignment.
Privacy Budget Management: Design the privacy budget framework - how epsilon
budgets are allocated across query types, time windows, and clients. Ensure that
cumulative privacy loss remains within acceptable bounds over time.
Regulatory Architecture: Ensure the aggregated analytics architecture supports
GDPR right-to-erasure, DORA ICT risk monitoring, and BCBS 239 risk data
aggregation reporting. Design consent management integration for cross-client data
participation.
Standards & Governance: Establish data modelling standards, privacy review
processes, and architecture review gates for all Aggregated Analytical Warehouse
development.
Requirements
Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering,
Mathematics, Statistics, or a related technical field. Advanced degree preferred.
Experience: 8+ years of experience in data architecture or data engineering, with at
least 3 years in a data architect role. Experience with multi-party or crossinstitutional data architectures.
Privacy Technologies: Strong understanding of differential privacy (epsilon-DP),
confidential computing (AMD SEV-SNP, Intel SGX), and federated learning/analytics
concepts. Ability to design systems that provide formal privacy guarantees.
Microsoft Fabric / Azure: Deep experience with Microsoft Fabric, Azure Synapse, or
equivalent cloud ana
