Data warehousing (Snowflake)
Drive platform roadmaps and adoption of modern data engineering patterns.
Evaluate and recommend platform enhancements, tooling upgrades, and new capabilities.

Cyber Security (data protection, access controls, audits)
Cloud Infrastructure (AWS services, scalability, resiliency)
DevOps (CI/CD, environment management, automation)

Technical Leadership
Provide technical leadership and guidance to data engineers using the platform.
Establish and enforce dbt standards, including:
Project structure and layering
Naming conventions and documentation
Testing, freshness, and data quality practices
Guide solution designs to ensure efficient, secure, and scalable use of Snowflake and dbt.
Promote software engineering and DevOps best practices for analytics engineering.

DevOps & Automation
Lead implementation of CI/CD pipelines for data platforms, including dbt deployments.
Integrate Git‐based workflows, automated testing, and controlled promotion across environments.
Partner with DevOps teams to improve reliability, repeatability, and release confidence.

Operational Excellence
Ensure platform reliability, performance, and cost optimization.
Define monitoring, alerting, and support models for platform services.
Support compliance, audit, and risk remediation activities.
Maintain platform documentation, runbooks, and onboarding materials.

Required Technical Skills
Strong experience managing and operating enterprise data platforms, including:
Snowflake (architecture, administration, performance, security)
Informatica (PowerCenter and/or Informatica Cloud)
dbt (core concepts, modeling patterns, tests, documentation, environments)
AWS (foundational services supporting data platforms)

Hands‐on experience with DevOps and CI/CD, including:
Git / GitHub (branching and version control)
Jenkins (or equivalent CI/CD tools)

Strong understanding of:
Data modeling and transformation best practices
Cloud security and access controls
Platform scalability, reliability, and cost management

Communication & Leadership Skills
Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
Proven ability to work across multiple teams with differing priorities.
Comfortable leading design reviews, architecture discussions, and platform governance forums.
Ability to influence without direct authority and drive adoption of standards.

Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
+ years of experience in data engineering or data platform engineering.
+ years in a technical lead, platform lead, or principal‐level role.
Experience in large enterprise or regulated environments preferred.
