* Implement advanced data transformations and models (star / snowflake schemas, SCDs, time-travel) using SQL, dbt, and Python.
* Collaborate with analytics, business intelligence, and data science teams to deliver trustworthy, scalable, and business-aligned data assets.
* Drive the adoption of software engineering best practices in the data lifecycle: CI / CD pipelines, modularization, versioning, testing, and documentation.
* Ensure end-to-end data governance, security, privacy, and lineage tracking are implemented across the Snowflake ecosystem.
* Contribute to the data architecture roadmap, influencing choices on tooling, modularity, and long-term scalability.
* Provide technical mentorship to junior engineers and participate in the selection and onboarding of future team members.

* Strong proficiency in Snowflake dialect, query tuning, UDFs, stored procedures, dbt, and Python.
* Optional but valued: JavaScript, Scala, or Shell scripting.
* Proven experience with Snowflake-specific capabilities such as Roles & RBAC, resource monitors, data sharing, materialized views, zero-copy cloning, dynamic masking, time travel, tasks, and streams.
* Deep understanding of data warehousing principles, data modeling (3NF, dimensional, data vault), and ELT / ETL architecture patterns.
* Expertise in CI / CD for data environments and familiarity with orchestration frameworks (e.g., Airflow, Prefect, Dagster) and monitoring tools.
* Familiarity with modern data catalogs, governance tools, and data quality frameworks.
Leadership Potential:
* Demonstrated ability to lead technical initiatives, mentor teams, and influence architectural decisions.
* Capable of translating strategic business needs into scalable, production-ready data solutions.
