About the role

- Configure and maintain SAS Viya environments supporting customer risk scoring, including managing the backend data model and enabling reliable scoring workflows.
- Build and support platform integrations (REST/SOAP APIs), including publishing sanctioned/screening, risk scoring, and GRC outputs to an enterprise Data Lake using out-of-the-box platform APIs where available.
- Configure and administer RSA Archer GRC, including extending applications, questionnaires, workflows, and data models to meet business and regulatory needs; deliver enhancements from user stories across risk, compliance, and audit.
- Support Finastra FCRM / Fiserv transaction monitoring and SAR filing, including configuration and tuning of detection scenarios, case management workflows, production issue resolution, and ensuring reporting timelines and data quality standards are maintained.
