Role purpose

Lead the engineering and implementation of enterprise-scale cloud data platforms using AWS and Snowflake. The role combines deep hands-on data engineering with technical leadership: translating architecture and business requirements into production-grade solutions that are scalable, secure, performant, supportable and cost-efficient.

Life Sciences / Pharma / Biotech / MedTech experience is preferred, particularly in regulated, high-volume or analytics-intensive data environments.

What you will own

• Design, build and optimize enterprise-scale data pipelines across AWS and Snowflake, spanning ingestion, transformation, consumption and operational monitoring.
• Engineer batch, near-real-time and streaming patterns for structured,



semi-structured and unstructured data; translate solution architecture into detailed engineering designs and deployable components.
• Build reusable frameworks, utilities and engineering patterns rather than one-off pipelines; design for scalability, resilience, maintainability and operational support.
• Own technical delivery across design, build, testing, migration, deployment and production stabilization.

Core engineering accountabilities

Snowflake engineering — Build and optimize databases, schemas, tables, views, warehouses and data-sharing patterns; use Snowpipe, Streams & Tasks, Energetic Tables and Snowpark where appropriate; optimize SQL, compute, concurrency, storage and cost; implement RBAC, masking and access policies.

AWS data engineering — Engineer solutions using relevant services such as S3, Glue, Lambda, Step Functions, DMS, Kinesis, IAM and CloudWatch; integrate cloud, SaaS, API, enterprise and on
