This role is responsible for leading the engineering and delivery of a cloud-native Master & Reference Data platform (MDM/RDM), enabling consistent, high-quality data across core business domains such as Customer, Product, Supplier and other master entities across Aviva.
You will lead a cross-functional engineering team to build scalable, event-driven data pipelines, mastering workflows, and API-driven data services using Kafka (MSK), AWS services, and containerised microservices (Spring Boot / Python). This is a hands-on leadership role focused on delivering high-quality engineering outcomes while embedding strong governance, data quality, and standardisation practices.
What will you be doing?
You will be responsible for:
Technical Leadership & Team Guidance
Lead and mentor a team of data and backend engineers aligned to MDM/RDM delivery
Translate enterprise data architecture and domain models into implementable designs
Drive engineering best practices including coding standards, CI/CD, and quality assurance
Act as the primary technical escalation point for MDM platform delivery
MDM/RDM Platform Engineering & Delivery
Guide the development of:
Mastering and matching workflows (e.g., survivorship, deduplication, golden record creation)
Kafka / MSK-based event-driven data pipelines for master data ingestion and distribution
AWS Glue ETL jobs (Python/PySpark) for data standardisation and enrichment
Containerised microservices for master data services (ECS, Spring Boot / Python)
Ensure delivery of scalable, resilient, and high-performing master data systems
Drive observability, data quality monitoring, and lineage tracking
Master & Reference Data Implementation
Implement end-to-end master data lifecycle flows (ingest → standardise → match → publish)
Apply event-driven and API-based integration patterns for data synchronisation
Ensure alignment to enterprise canonical data models and ACORD/industry standards where applicable
Enforce config-driven / metadata-driven processing (e.g., YAML-based mappings and rules)
Promote reusable ingestion, matching, and publishing patterns across domains
Contribute to establishing the “golden path” for domain onboarding into MDM
Work closely with governance tools (e.g., Collibra) to ensure metadata, lineage, and quality visibility
Data Governance, Quality & Standards
Embed data quality rules, validation frameworks, and exception handling into pipelines
Define and enforce data stewardship workflows and ownership models
Support implementation of reference data management (hierarchies, code sets, taxonomies)
Ensure auditability, traceability, and compliance across master data processes
What we’re looking for?
We are searching for an experienced engineer (5+ years) with a proven expertise in:
Master Data Management (MDM) and/or Reference Data platforms (e.g., Reltio or any modern MDM platforms)
Kafka / event-driven architectures (MSK preferred)
AWS data stack (Glue, S3, ECS, Aurora/Postgres)
Java (Spring Boot) and/or Python
Strong understanding of:
Master Data Management concepts (golden record, survivorship, hierarchy management)
Data modelling (canonical models, 3NF, domain-driven design)
Data quality, data governance, and stewardship models
Integration patterns (API, event streaming, CDC)
Hands-on experience leading engineers and driving platform delivery
Experience building scalable, domain-oriented data platforms
Ability to define reusable frameworks and “factory model” onboarding patterns
Strong problem-solving, communication, and stakeholder management skills
Experience working in large-scale transformation programmes
Nice to Have:
Experience with insurance data domains (Customer, Policy, Risk, Product, Supplier)
Knowledge of ACORD data standards
Experience with metadata/catalogue tools (e.g., Collibra) and data modelling tools (e.g., Erwin)
