Hands-On Development :

  • Develop, test, and deploy Snowflake SQL scripts, stored procedures, tasks, streams, and materialized views to implement business requirements.
  • Build robust, scalable ETL / ELT pipelines using Snowflake and transformation frameworks such as DBT.
  • Create and maintain data ingestion workflows integrating sources like Fivetran, Azure Blob Storage, CRM, ERP, and Marketing systems.
  • Perform performance tuning, query optimization, and troubleshoot data issues in Snowflake environments.

    • Platform Leadership & Collaboration :

  • Drive architectural standards for Snowflake development, data ingestion, transformation, and consumption.
  • Collaborate with data engineering teams to implement the best practices and maintain data pipeline reliability.
  • Provide technical guidance, mentorship, and code reviews for developers and engineers working on the platform.

    • Governance & Security :

  • Define and implement data governance, security, and access control strategies leveraging Snowflake RBAC, masking policies, and data sharing capabilities.
  • Ensure compliance with data privacy, lineage, and regulatory requirements.

    • Performance & Optimization :

  • Continuously monitor Snowflake usage and recommend improvements for warehouse sizing, query performance, credit usage, and storage efficiency.

    • Innovation & Roadmap :

  • Stay current with Snowflake features, cloud data trends, and marketplace offerings to drive innovation.
  • Contribute to the overall data platform roadmap including AI / ML readiness and real-time analytics enablement.

    • Required Qualifications :

  • 8+ years in data architecture, engineering, or developer roles.
  • 4+ years of hands-on experience architecting, developing, and optimizing Snowflake solutions.
  • Strong SQL proficiency with experience writing complex queries, stored procedures, and performance tuning.
  • Expertise in ELT / ETL frameworks (DBT) and data ingestion tools like Fivetran.
  • Experience with orchestration tools such as Dagster, Airflow, or Prefect.
  • Familiarity with Azure cloud services including Azure Blob Storage and Azure Data Factory.
  • Deep understanding of modern data architecture principles (Medallion architecture, Data Vault, Data Mesh).
  • Proven ability to implement data governance and security controls on Snowflake platforms.

    • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Snowflake Certification
  • Experience with CI / CD for data platforms (Git, Terraform, dbt Cloud).
  • Knowledge of Power BI integration with Snowflake.
  • Exposure to AI / ML data pipelines and analytics enablement.
