Work you'll do

The Audit AI & Automation Associate will support the assessment and mapping of the data, systems, and interface environment underpinning CIP, working across Databricks and/or Palantir Foundry ecosystems. This role acts as a junior architect, building a clear picture of how data moves, where it lives, and how systems connect — laying the groundwork for scalable, well-governed solutions. As a Data Engineer II on the AI & Data team, you will be responsible for:

• Map and document existing data flows, pipelines, and integration points across Databricks and/or Palantir Foundry environments.
• Assess current-state data architecture, including source systems, interfaces, and dependencies, to identify gaps, redundancies, and risks.
• Catalog data sources, transformation logic, and downstream consumers to establish clear data lineage.
• Evaluate existing ETL/ELT patterns (e.g., PySpark, SQL) for structure, quality, and alignment with governance standards, without owning day-to-day build work.
• Partner with technical managers, analysts, and business stakeholders to gather requirements and translate them into architecture diagrams, system maps, and interface documentation.
• Review data pipelines and system configurations to flag issues, gaps in data quality, and reliability concerns for remediation by build teams.
• Support the design, documentation, and monitoring of data governance standards for financial data under GDA programs.
• Prepare clear architectural assessments, findings, and recommendations for leadership, including current-state vs. target-state comparisons.
• Maintain strict adherence to security protocols when handling GDA-related financial information and system access.

A successful candidate would possess these skills:

• Ability to work independently and collaborate as part of a team
• Effective written and verbal communication skills
• Meticulous attention to detail and quality of work product
• Ability to build and sustain professional relationships
• Ability to lead projects or workstreams
• Ability to manage and prioritize multiple tasks in a fast-paced and dynamic environment
• Strong interpersonal skills and professional demeanor
