• Hybrid:
• Requires 3-days/week in-office
• $70-75/hour
• PURPOSE:
• The
• Surveillance/Data Analyst
• conducts moderate-to-high complexity analysis of automated surveillance systems that detect potential violations of regulatory rules.

This role is responsible for understanding, validating, enhancing, and supporting surveillance patterns across multiple asset classes and regulatory domains. The Surveillance/Data Analyst serves as the bridge between regulatory requirements and the technical implementation of surveillance logic, ensuring patterns produce accurate, complete, and defensible results. The Surveillance/Data Analyst is expected to actively leverage generative AI tools to accelerate analysis, documentation, and automation

• serving as the domain expert who directs AI capabilities while ensuring regulatory accuracy and completeness of all outputs.
• CORE FUNCTIONS
• + •Surveillance Pattern Analysis & Knowledge Management•+ Reverse-engineers surveillance pattern source code to build comprehensive knowledge documentation covering data pipelines, business rules, exception logic, and output schemas + Maintains a knowledge base of surveillance patterns across multiple regulatory domains + Performs requirements-vs-code gap analysis to identify discrepancies between documented business requirements and implemented logic, flagging risks to surveillance coverage + •UAT & Release Validation•+ Validates new surveillance pattern releases by comparing production vs.

UAT outputs, analyzing exception counts, volumes, and firm-level impacts

+ Builds local testing environments to execute query scripts against sample data, enabling independent verification of pattern logic before production deployment

+ Designs multi-scenario test cases covering edge cases to ensure comprehensive test coverage

+ Packages release artifacts (scripts, QC results, requirements documentation) following standardized release structures +

• Ad-Hoc Data Analysis & Investigation Support
• + Writes complex queries to support analyst investigations into surveillance exceptions + Performs firm-level statistical analysis and produces reports for management review + Maintains reference data sets used by downstream surveillance patterns + Assesses data incident impacts by cross-referencing affected data sources against the surveillance pattern dependency map +
• Process Automation & Tooling
• + Develops automation tools for ticket management, release documentation, and workflow optimization + Builds local testing frameworks that replicate production environments for rapid pattern testing and iteration + Creates data visualization and comparison reports with interactive views, summary statistics, and color-coded differentials +
• Generative AI Integration & Prompt Engineering
• + Leverages AI coding assistants as a force multiplier
• directing AI agents to reverse-engineer source code, build knowledge documentation, generate test frameworks, and produce data comparison reports + Designs structured AI workflows including pattern study pipelines, workflow assistants, and automated documentation generation + Maintains a curated AI project workspace with standing instructions, conventions, and context files that enable consistent, high-quality AI-assisted output + Coordinates multi-step analytical tasks through AI•from reading source code and drafting requirements, to generating test harnesses and producing comparison reports•reducing turnaround from days to hours + Evaluates and validates AI-generated outputs for regulatory accuracy before use in production workflows + •Project Management Support•+ Manages work across project tracking boards, tracking enhancement tickets, bug fixes, and new pattern development + Drafts and updates Business Requirements Documents (BRDs) for surveillance pattern enhancements + Coordinates release activities including documentation, QC, and UAT sign-off tracking •
