Role Overview :

We are looking for an experienced Snowflake Data Engineer with solid expertise in Snowflake, SQL, Python, dbt, and Snowflake CoCo (Cortex Code), along with hands-on experience building agentic workflows that automate the data engineering lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities :

- Design, develop, and maintain agentic data engineering workflows using Snowflake CoCo/Cortex Code.
- Build workflows that automate stages of the data engineering lifecycle, including discovery, impact analysis, development, testing, validation, and deployment.
- Integrate LLMs, Snowflake Cortex AI capabilities, agentic logic, and orchestration workflows into enterprise data engineering processes.
- Build Specification-Driven Development (SDD) capabilities using machine-readable specifications and instructions for data products.
- Work with Data Engineers and Architects to identify repetitive engineering activities and convert them into reusable agentic patterns and workflows.
- Develop and maintain high-quality Snowflake data pipelines, data models, transformations, and enterprise data products.
- Build and maintain dbt models, SQL stored procedures, and DataOps.Live orchestration workflows.
- Support automated engineering workflows covering data ingestion, transformation, testing, validation, and deployment.
- Apply enterprise data architecture patterns such as Bronze, Silver, and Gold layers to build scalable data products.
- Ensure data products are optimized for enterprise consumption, performance, reliability, and maintainability.
- Implement RAG-based workflows, tool integrations, and context-aware agent patterns where applicable.
- Work with Model Context Protocol (MCP) and related agent integration patterns to connect AI agents with enterprise tools and data sources.




- Ensure agentic workflows and generated engineering outputs comply with data governance, security, quality, and development standards.
- Monitor and improve automation quality, accuracy, reliability, and engineering efficiency.
- Collaborate with Data Engineering, Architecture, DevOps, Product, and business teams to drive adoption of AI-assisted engineering practices.
