Key Skills & Competencies:

• 5-8 years of experience as a Snowflake data engineer, developing and maintaining Snowflake data warehouse and lakehouse components, including databases, schemas, tables, views, stages, file formats, and secure data access patterns.
• Substantial hands-on experience delivering production-grade Snowflake platforms and complex data engineering solutions at enterprise scale.
• Advanced SQL expertise, including complex transformations, query profiling, performance diagnosis, and optimization of high-volume workloads.
• Strong Python engineering skills for reusable data-processing components, automation, API integration, testing, and operational tooling.
• Demonstrated experience designing and operating ELT/ETL and orchestration solutions using tools such as dbt, Airflow, Informatica, Matillion, Fivetran, Talend, Azure Data Factory, or AWS Glue.
• Strong experience with at least one cloud ecosystem: AWS (S3, Glue, Lambda, EMR), Azure (ADLS Gen2, ADF, Synapse, Databricks), or GCP (GCS, Dataflow, Dataproc, Pub/Sub).
• Experience implementing CI/CD, automated testing, Git-based development workflows, infrastructure as code, and secure cloud engineering practices.
• Ability to lead technical discussions, make architecture trade-offs explicit, communicate risks, and guide engineers through complex delivery challenges.
• Experience with Snowflake cost governance, resource monitors, workload isolation, account-level controls, and platform usage analytics.
• Exposure to Snowflake performance features and advanced platform patterns, including dynamic data refresh, secure sharing, and cross-environment promotion.
• Own the technical design and implementation of complex Snowflake data solutions, including ingestion patterns, transformation layers, data models, workload design, and platform integration.
• Design robust batch, incremental, and near-real-time ELT/ETL pipelines for structured and semi-structured data using Snowflake, SQL, Python, and enterprise integration/orchestration tools.
• Select and implement appropriate Snowflake capabilities-including Snowpipe, Streams and Tasks, Dynamic Tables, External Tables, Time Travel, Zero-Copy Cloning, and secure Data Sharing-based on workload and architectural requirements.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in computer science, engineering, information systems, or a related discipline.
• Relevant professional experience demonstrates both hands-on technical depth and ownership of complex data engineering outcomes.

Success Metrics:

• Strong experience with at least one cloud ecosystem: AWS (S3, Glue, Lambda, EMR), Azure (ADLS Gen2, ADF, Synapse, Databricks), or GCP (GCS, Dataflow, Dataproc, Pub/Sub).
• Lead code reviews, technical design reviews, testing strategy, CI/CD implementation, and infrastructure-as-code practices using Git and tools such as Terraform.
• Design robust batch, incremental, and near-real-time ELT/ETL pipelines for structured and semi-structured data using Snowflake, SQL, Python, and enterprise integration/orchestration tools.
• Advanced SQL expertise, including complex transformations, query profiling, performance diagnosis, and optimization of high-volume workloads.
• Strong Python engineering skills for reusable data-processing components, automation, API integration, testing, and operational tooling.
• Demonstrated experience designing and operating ELT/ETL and orchestration solutions using tools such as dbt, Airflow, Informatica, Matillion, Fivetran, Talend, Azure Data Factory, or AWS Glue.
