Proficiency in banking systems, data flows, and associated risks is a strong asset. Your core responsibilities revolve around three key pillars: business rule validation and alignment, where you ensure technical solutions meet organizational goals; test strategy and execution, designing robust frameworks for system reliability and process optimization, leveraging technology to streamline workflows.

  • Curate feature-specific test data sets that align with distinct business logic, workflows, and use cases to enable comprehensive functional and regression testing across all system modules.
  • Design and generate synthetic, anonymized, or masked test data to validate system functionality, reports, and business rules, ensuring test data covers edge cases, compliance scenarios, and performance requirements.
  • Gain understanding of upstream applications and the data provided, interfacing with other app teams and architects as needed to document dataflows.
  • Implement data masking techniques to protect sensitive information in non-production environments.
  • Design and evaluate system solutions that meet business objectives, including assessing existing systems and recommending improvements or replacements, while creating system diagrams and technical specifications to guide implementation.
  • Identify inefficiencies in existing systems (e.g., legacy core banking platforms) and recommend improvements.
  • Value Stream Analysis: Identifying bottlenecks and opportunities for automation or data-driven improvements.
  • In this role, you will communicate and interact frequently with RBC partners and/or employees located across Canada and/or worldwide.

  • SQL: Advanced proficiency to extract, transform, and analyze data from relational databases (e.g., Oracle, SQL Server). DB2, legacy systems and big data platforms (e.g., Snowflake, Hadoop) are big assets.
  • Test Data Management: Skills in generating synthetic data, data masking, or subset extraction to support testing (e.g., using tools or custom scripts).
