Job description

What you will be part of:
 

The Financial Data Application (FDA) team within the Group IT Division, Data & AI is responsible for the central, group-wide finance data hub, calculation engines and posting platform of Helvetia. We run and continuously develop four core SAS-based applications:

  • CDS (Common Data Store): A central finance data hub that consolidates, validates, and stores all relevant finance data from market units. It distributes this data to calculation engines and BAT, while also receiving and managing the calculated results.

    BAT (Baloise Accounting Transactions): A group-wide posting engine that generates accounting documents for SAP based on validated input from local units and calculation engines, and posts them directly into SAP.

    RIVA9: A solution that calculates IFRS 9 Expected Credit Losses (ECL) based on validated data from CDS, and returns the results to the respective source systems.

    SOLE (Solvency Processing Engine): A system that determines how assets should be assigned to accounts and in what amounts within the Extended Ledger for Solvency. It then generates transaction records, which are posted into SAP via BAT.

Role Purpose: 

We are looking for an experienced SAS Developer to take a key role in maintaining and evolving critical solutions such as BAT, RIVA9, CDS, and SOLE.

This position offers a unique opportunity to step into a well-established environment and working closely with long-standing experts to ensure a smooth and effective knowledge transfer, while quickly becoming a driving force behind upcoming transformations. You will contribute to both the stability and future development of these services, supporting daily operations while also leading improvements, including the redesign of SAP interfaces and enhancing system performance and scalability to meet growing data demands. The role combines hands-on development with impactful optimization work, making it ideal for someone who enjoys both maintaining reliable systems and shaping their future evolution in a dynamic environment.

  • Improve performance and further parallelize processing in line with increased data volumes.
  • Act as the bridge between Business Analysts / accounting business teams and technical implementation in an agile setup.
  • Take real ownership, proactively, precisely and reliably ensure that this business-critical service does not “stand still”.

Your Skills:

  • At least 3 years of professional experience in SAS implementation, ideally on financial data / accounting platforms.
  • Expert in SAS 9.4: SAS Foundation, SAS Macro Language, SAS DI Studio, SAS Enterprise Guide, SAS Studio.
  • Solid SQL and database experience (DB2, Oracle).

  • Familiarity with version control (Git / Subversion), Jira, Confluence.
