  • Develop and maintain integrations between AWS services (S3, Redshift, Lambda, SQL DBs), Snowflake, and other enterprise systems.
  • Cloud-First Strategy :

  • Drive the migration of legacy systems to cloud platforms, ensuring high availability, security, and performance.
  • Optimize data storage and processing in AWS and Snowflake environments.
  • Governance & Compliance :

  • Ensure solutions meet enterprise requirements for scalability, security, performance, and compliance.
  • Maintain architecture artifacts, solution diagrams, and integration documentation.

  • Hands-on experience with data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI).
  • Certifications in AWS, Snowflake, or Salesforce.
  • Soft Skills :

  • Strong leadership and communication skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels.
  • Problem-solving mindset with a focus on delivering scalable, innovative solutions.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
  • Why Join Us?
