Develop, configure, and maintain SimCorp GAIN Security Master solutions using GAIN Studio and Data Browser.
Build and enhance data integrations from multiple upstream sources, including Bloomberg, BlackRock Aladdin, and internal systems.
Develop and modify complex data transformation, normalization, cleansing, derivation, and validation rules.
Investigate and reverse-engineer existing configurations to understand data flows and highly customized processing logic.
Diagnose and resolve complex technical issues, including feed failures, transformation errors, and inconsistent security master data.
Configure source-specific processing logic and maintain the integrity of instrument, issuer, attribute, and reference data.
Build, configure, and maintain GAIN environments, including testing, production, and disaster recovery infrastructure.
Support upstream and downstream integration changes as the wider investment technology transformation progresses.
Collaborate with investment technology teams to deliver reliable and scalable Security Master capabilities.
Provide hands-on technical leadership through engineering, troubleshooting, knowledge sharing, and support for internal team development.
Help establish stronger internal technical capabilities and reduce reliance on external specialist consultants.

Proven experience developing and maintaining upstream data feeds and integrations within GAIN.
Strong understanding of end-to-end security data processing, including ingestion, parsing, normalization, cleansing, custom business rules, derivations, and downstream distribution.

Practical experience configuring or establishing GAIN environments and supporting their ongoing operation.
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and troubleshooting skills, with the ability to work independently on challenging technical issues.
Willingness to remain actively involved in development, configuration, and hands-on engineering rather than focusing solely on project management or high-level architecture.
