What You’ll Do
Own recurring credit bureau furnishing operations, including data preparation, validation, submissions, bureau feedback, exception resolution, and reconciliation
Build, maintain, and debug SQL transformations, Python scripts, and data pipelines that produce credit reporting data
Trace discrepancies from account activity and source records through transformation logic to furnished outputs; identify root causes and implement lasting fixes
Investigate escalations from Customer Service, explain what happened to account data and what should be reported under approved policies, and provide evidence to support their dispute responses
Identify all accounts affected by reporting defects, implement corrections and controlled reprocessing, and verify the resulting reporting outcomes
Develop automated tests, reconciliations, monitoring, and alerts to catch inaccurate, incomplete, duplicate, or unexpected reporting before submission
Partner with Engineering on defects in production services or the consumer app, providing reproducible examples, affected-account analysis, and clear requirements; validate fixes through the reporting pipeline
Work with Compliance to translate approved reporting requirements into technical rules and escalate ambiguous reporting scenarios
Document reporting logic, data lineage, procedures, and incident resolutions so the process is repeatable and can be supported by others
What We Look For
Degree in computer science, engineering, data science, or a related quantitative discipline
5+ years of relevant experience in data engineering or software engineering, including hands-on ownership of production data pipelines and operational workflows
Advanced SQL skills, including complex joins, account-level reconciliation, data profiling, and troubleshooting transformation logic
Strong Python skills, including the ability to read unfamiliar code, debug existing scripts, and implement maintainable fixes
Demonstrated ability to independently investigate ambiguous problems, prioritize recurring operations and incidents, and carry issues through to verified resolution
Experience with version control, code review, automated testing, monitoring, and safe deployment and reprocessing of data workflows
Excellent problem-solving skills, with a track record of tracing data defects across systems and preventing recurrence
Strong business judgment and communication skills; able to explain technical findings to Customer Service and Compliance and work effectively with Engineering
