Citi is looking for a ETL Developer to design and deliver enterprise-scale data integration solutions that keep critical reporting and analytics capabilities running reliably across a global financial institution.

This is a high-impact position for a technical specialist who wants to solve meaningful data challenges at scale within a collaborative, performance-driven environment.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and tune highly scalable ETL processes using Ab Initio — including GDE, EME, Co>Operating System, Conduct>IT, and Continuous Flows — to ensure reliable and efficient data integration across the organization.

• Write and tune advanced SQL and PL/SQL queries against Oracle and relational databases to support accurate and performant data processing.
• Drive data governance and data quality best practices across the integration landscape, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and reliability of data assets.
• Oversee code migration, version control, and environment infrastructure setups including private and public sandboxes and EME permissions management.
• Translate functional requirements from business stakeholders, data architects, and project managers into clear and implementable technical specifications.
• Investigate, analyse, and resolve L2 production issues, maintaining the stability and continuity of live data pipelines.
• Manage the full data application development lifecycle — from technical planning and feasibility assessment through to testing, implementation, and ongoing production support.

• * Core Ab Initio Expertise: 6+ years of hands-on experience with Ab Initio GDE, Co>Operating System, Express>It, Conduct>It, and EME.

  * Data Warehousing Concepts: Deep understanding of dimensional modeling, star/snowflake schemas, and enterprise data warehouse architectures.

  * Problem Solving: Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot job failures, resolve performance bottlenecks, and manage root-cause analysis in high-volume production environments.

• Familiarity with CI/CD tools, version control (Git), and agile software development methodologies.

Beneficial skills & qualifications

• Expertise in Large Language Models (LLMs) including OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, Llama, and local/open source models
