The Snowflake Platform DevOps Engineer will own the reliability, security, and cost efficiency of our Snowflake on AWS estate. You will design and automate the platform's day-to-day operations, environments, CI / CD, observability, access, networking, and data movement so product and analytics teams can ship governed, performant data products with confidence. You will collaborate across Data Engineering, InfoSec, and Business / Analytics to keep the platform compliant, resilient, and fast.

What you will do :

  • Lead the design and implementation of robust and secure Snowflake platforms and pipelines, spanning a wide range of technologies and complexity
  • Stand up and manage Snowflake accounts / environments (dev / test / prod), databases, schemas, virtual warehouses, and resource monitors; enable auto-suspend / auto-resume and multi-cluster where needed
  • Implement and operate ingestion and orchestration patterns using Streams / Tasks, Snowpipe / Kafka Connector, and external stages (S3)
  • Enforce security, compliance, and access governance, including RBAC role hierarchies, tag-based masking, row access policies, network policies, and session parameters (SSO / SCIM with Okta / Entra ID)
  • Manage Snowflake objects and configurations as code (Terraform Snowflake provider and / or Snowflake CLI) and build Git-based promotion workflows with pre-merge checks (grant diffs, policy linting, contract tests)
  • Build observability dashboards and alerts for utilization, query performance, task / pipe health, failures, and data freshness / volume anomalies; tune performance and drive SLOs for latency, concurrency, and reliability
  • Implement cost optimization guardrails including warehouse rightsizing, auto-suspend targets, query tagging, and chargeback / showback with unit-economics KPIs and variance reviews
  • Operate secure integrations with AWS (S3, IAM / KMS, PrivateLink / VPC endpoints), catalogs (Collibra), and BI tools (Tableau / Qlik / BOBJ)
  • Provide Level-3 support, lead incident response and postmortems with clear RCAs and fixes, and maintain / validate resiliency strategies and runbooks (including game days)
  • Work independently on assignments in a GitOps-driven environment, collaborating with development teams to automate processes and increase productivity
  • What you will bring

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field (or equivalent experience)
  • At least 5 years of experience in platform or systems engineering, including designing, building, and operating large-scale applications
  • 3+ years of hands-on Snowflake administration operating in cloud environments (AWS preferred)
  • Snowflake expertise across RBAC design, masking and row access policies, object tags, Streams / Tasks, Snowpipe / Kafka Connector, search optimization, materialized views, and replication / failover
  • Expert understanding of AWS infrastructure components, including EKS, EC2, RDS, S3, VPC, and others
  • Production experience managing Infrastructure as Code frameworks such as Terraform and CloudFormation
  • Proficiency with CI / CD tooling (GitHub and / or Azure DevOps), Git-based workflows, SQL, and one scripting language (Python, Go, Bash, or shell) for automation
  • Strong grasp of Internet and cloud fundamentals (DNS, TLS, routing, SSH, HTTP / S), Linux / Windows administration basics, and IAM / KMS
  • Expert knowledge in one or more DevOps disciplines such as code, CI, CD, operations, infrastructure, etc.
  • AWS, Kubernetes, or relevant certifications
  • What will set you apart :

  • Production experience with Kubernetes clusters, with EKS and Istio service mesh experience preferred
  • Experience with observability stacks (CloudWatch, Datadog, Splunk), including Snowflake log exports and ACCOUNT_USAGE views
  • Experience with BI / admin and data ecosystem integrations, including Tableau / Qlik / BOBJ, SAS / Alteryx connectivity to Snowflake, and Collibra integration for metadata / tag propagation
  • Experience building high-availability and cost-efficient data platforms, including incident management and on-call rotations
  • Customer-service mindset with crisp written and verbal communication, including explaining technical issues to non-technical partners
  • Bias for automation and documentation, with comfort managing multiple priorities with accuracy and urgency
