Engineer 5 - Contingent

Genesis10 is currently seeking a Senior Data Modeler / Domain Model Lead for a contract position with a Global Financial Institution located in Charlotte, NC. This is a 7+ month contract opportunity.

Our client is seeking a Senior Data Modeler to serve as the internal enterprise owner for a cross asset Common Domain Model (CDM) supporting capital markets and investment banking. This role is responsible for defining and governing canonical business semantics for products, trades, lifecycle events, parties, agreements, reference data, and related domains enabling interoperability across front office, risk, finance, operations, regulatory reporting, and analytics platforms. The successful candidate will combine deep capital markets domain knowledge with strong modeling discipline and a control-minded approach to governance, schema versioning, lineage, and adoption.

Responsibilities:

• Own the enterprise CDM vision, scope, and roadmap for capital markets domains (cross-asset; end-to-end lifecycle)
• Maintain a clear domain decomposition (bounded contexts) and ensure consistent semantics across lines of business and platforms
• Establish model north star principles: canonical semantics first, implementation-agnostic logical model, interoperability, and auditability
• Design and maintain conceptual/logical/canonical models for products, trades, positions, events/lifecycle states, parties, and reference data
• Normalize identifiers and hierarchies to support interoperability and reconciliation
• Provide model patterns for event-driven and state-based lifecycles to support downstream processing consistency
• Establish operating model for CDM governance in a regulated environment
• Manage schema/model versioning and controlled release processes for a shared enterprise model
• Maintain canonical-to-physical implementation patterns (e.g., lakehouse tables, event schemas, API contracts)
• Drive adoption by producing and maintaining mapping templates, canonical transformation patterns, and reference examples
• Partner with engineering, architecture, and platform teams to ensure the CDM is implementable and consistently consumed
• Ensure the CDM supports AI/ML and LLM use cases by designing AI-ready canonical datasets and enabling semantic layers
• Collaborate with AI governance / model risk partners to ensure CDM usage supports reproducibility, explainability, and auditability

Requirements:

• 7+ years of Engineering experience, or equivalent demonstrated through one or a combination of the following: work or consulting experience, training, military experience, education
• 5+ years of hands-on data modeling experience within an investment bank, broker-dealer, or capital markets technology organization, supporting front-to-back workflows
• Demonstrated experience building, governing, or materially contributing to a canonical / enterprise Common Domain Model (CDM) in a capital markets environment
• Proven ability to lead working sessions with stakeholders across Trading, Risk, Operations, Finance, and Regulatory Reporting to drive consensus on canonical semantics
• Experience defining canonical entities and relationships for core capital markets domains (trades, positions, parties, etc)
• Demonstrated experience delivering enterprise adoption of a canonical model
• Direct experience performing data element mapping and harmonization across heterogeneous trading and post-trade platforms
• Experience supporting risk and regulatory use cases that rely on consistent canonical semantics

Desired skills:

• Hands-on familiarity with ISDA CDM concepts and lifecycle representation patterns
• Experience performing alignment mapping from internal models to ISDA CDM and defining extensions
• Familiarity with FINOS ecosystem practices relevant to domain models
• Experience integrating canonical models into streaming/event schemas, lakehouse/warehouse physical models, and API/message contracts
• Exposure to AI/LLM enablement patterns in regulated environments
• Cross asset canonical modeling and semantic rigor
• Control mindset: auditability, lineage, reconciliation, and quality enablement
• Governance leadership: facilitation, decision-making, and change management
• Versioning discipline: compatibility, deprecation, consumer migration
• Ability to translate between business semantics and implementable patterns
• Communication: crisp definitions, defensible rationale, and clear documentation

Pay range: $86.09 - $94.09 per hour
