Must have skills : Data Engineering, Snowflake Data Warehouse

Good to have skills : Machine Learning (ML)

Minimum 12 Year(s) Of Experience Is Required

Educational Qualification : 15 years full time education

Summary

Lead the architecture, strategy, and delivery of enterprise-scale data platforms on Snowflake. Own

technical direction for data modeling, ingestion, performance, security, governance, and developer

experience. Mentor engineers and collaborate with stakeholders to deliver robust, scalable, and

secure data solutions for analytics, AI/ML, and operational use cases.

Roles and responsibilities:

Architecture & Strategy

Define target data platform architecture (multi-environment, multi-account, integration

patterns).

Establish technical standards for ELT, dbt/Snowpark, data contracts, and lifecycle

management.

Lead make/buy/standardize decisions for connectors, CDC/integration tools, orchestration,

catalog, and observability.

Design and Implement CI/CD pipelines for data engineering workflows

Design and Implement Streaming data architectures and Micro-service based architectures

Design and implement reliable ingestion and transformation pipelines (batch/streaming) using

Snowflake features (Snowpipe, Streams & Tasks, external stages) and orchestration tools

(Airflow/ADF).

Drive data modeling best practices (dimensional, data vault, wide tables) with versioning,

testing, and documentation.

Enable CI/CD, environment promotion, automated data quality checks (dbt tests, Great

Expectations), and blue-green deployments.

Performance,



Reliability & Cost

Lead workload management, query optimization, clustering, and caching strategies.

Implement resource monitors, autosuspend policies, and cost observability dashboards.

Own SLA/SLOs for key data products, incident runbooks, lineage-aware impact analysis, and

post-incident reviews.

Security, Compliance & Sharing

Define and enforce RBAC/ABAC, row/column-level security, masking policies, and secrets

management.

Partner with Security/GRC on auditing, data retention, PII/PHI protection, and regulatory

compliance (GDPR/CCPA).

Operationalize secure data sharing and cleanroom patterns for internal/external collaboration.

Leadership & Influence

Serve as principal technical authority for Snowflake mentor engineers and elevate team

capability.

Collaborate with Product, Analytics, and ML teams to deliver scalable, reusable data products.

Author architecture decision records (ADRs), roadmaps, and executive-level technical

narratives.

Technical experience & Professional attributes:

12+ years in data engineering/architecture 6+ years designing and operating Snowflake at scale

(multi-TB warehouses, 1000s of daily jobs).

Expert SQL and deep knowledge of Snowflake internals: virtual warehouses, micropartitions,

clustering, Query Profile, caching, Time Travel, Failsafe.

Hands-on with Snowflake workloads & features: Snowpipe, Streams & Tasks, stages/external

tables, materialized views, Secure Data Sharing.





Experience with at least one transformation framework (dbt strongly preferred) and

programming language (Python, Snowpark, UDFs).

Experience with orchestration (Airflow/ADF/Argo), CI/CD (Jenkins/GitHub Actions/GitLab/Azure

DevOps), and IaC (Terraform).

Fluency with cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP), object storage (S3/ADLS/GCS), networking

(VPC/VNet, PrivateLink/Private Endpoints).

Solid grounding in data governance (catalog/lineage tools), privacy & security controls, and

observability (logs/metrics/traces for pipelines).

Experience in Fivetran and streaming tools Kafka, Pulsar or other equivalent.

Performance tuning at scale: warehouse sizing, task concurrency, pruning/clustering, cost

optimization.

Excellent communication able to present architecture tradeoffs to engineers and executives.

Preferred Skills

SnowPro Advanced: Architect or Advanced: Data Engineer certification.

Data quality frameworks ,data contracts, and contract-testing patterns.
