Internal Audit communicates on the effectiveness of governance, risk management and controls, raises awareness of control risk, assesses control culture and conduct risk, and monitors management’s implementation of control measures.\nData Strategy and Analytics (DSA) partners with audit teams to translate data needs into durable, reusable capabilities. The team designs data products, engineering patterns and AI-ready data foundations that improve the efficiency, consistency and insight of audit work.\nYOUR IMPACT\nAs an Associate in DSA, you will design and implement production-grade pipelines, models and data products for the third line of defence. You will work closely with audit teams and data owners to source, transform and curate data, turning complex requirements into reliable solutions that can be reused across audit coverage.\nRESPONSIBILITIES\nDesign, build, test and support production-grade ETL/ELT pipelines that source, transform and curate data for Internal Audit. \nDevelop maintainable Python solutions using Pandas, Polars and PySpark, selecting fit-for-purpose approaches based on scale, performance and operational needs. \nWrite advanced SQL for data transformation, reconciliation, profiling and analysis across OLTP and analytical data platforms. \nDesign data models for operational and analytical use cases, including dimensional modelling, slowly changing dimensions, lakehouse and data-lake patterns. \nWork with platforms such as Snowflake and relational databases including DB2 and PostgreSQL, applying sound principles for schema design, performance and data movement. \nImplement data-quality checks, controls, lineage, observability, documentation and automated tests to improve trust and supportability. \nContribute to AI-ready data products and semantic layers that provide consistent business meaning and governed access to data. \nPartner with audit teams and data owners to understand requirements, resolve data discrepancies and deliver reusable solutions. \nParticipate in design reviews, code reviews, version-control and CI/CD practices, and provide effective production support. \nCommunicate progress, issues and technical decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. \nBASIC QUALIFICATIONS\n3+ years of relevant data engineering, software engineering or data-platform experience. \nBachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience in computer science, engineering or a related quantitative discipline. A master’s degree is welcome. \nHands-on proficiency in Python, including Pandas, Polars and PySpark, with experience writing testable and maintainable code. \nStrong SQL proficiency and practical understanding of OLTP databases, relational design and query performance. \nStrong understanding of data modelling, data warehousing, dimensional modelling and slowly changing dimensions. \nExperience designing and implementing ETL/ELT pipelines and working with data-lake, lakehouse or cloud data\nStrong data analytics and problem-solving skills, including the ability to profile, interpret and analyse data \nClear written and verbal communication and the ability to collaborate across technical and non-technical teams. \nPREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS\nExperience with Snowflake and data integration from DB2, PostgreSQL or comparable enterprise platforms. \nExposure to Spark-based processing, orchestration frameworks, CI/CD, containers and cloud data services. \nFamiliarity with semantic layers, metadata management and development of governed, AI-ready data products. \nUnderstanding of data governance, privacy, security, lineage and retention expectations. \nExperience in financial services, audit, risk or controls is helpful but not required. \nWHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE\nPipelines and data products are reliable, testable, supportable and delivered with clear documentation.  Data issues are identified early, investigated rigorously and resolved through sustainable engineering solutions.  Audit stakeholders can use consistent, trusted data more efficiently.\nABOUT GOLDMAN SACHS\nAt Goldman Sachs, we commit our people, capital and ideas to help our clients, shareholders and the communities we serve to grow.
