Role & Responsibilities

Data Architecture & Engineering

• Design and implement scalable, secure Snowflake data warehouses (multi-environment, role-based access, RBAC/ABAC, masking/row access).
• Architect ELT pipelines using Fivetran/Stitch/Singer; extend with custom connectors when required.
• Build and maintain dbt-based transformation layers (staging → marts → semantic models) with modular, test-driven designs.
• Implement orchestration using Airflow/Prefect/Dagster for scheduling, dependencies, and retries.
  
  

Data Modeling & Optimization

• Apply dimensional modeling, Data Vault, and star schema best practices for analytics at scale.
• Optimize Snowflake performance: warehouse sizing, clustering/partitioning strategies, query tuning, caching, and cost controls (Resource Monitors, Query Acceleration).
• Leverage advanced Snowflake features (Tasks, Streams, Time Travel, Data Sharing, External Tables/Iceberg, Snowpipe, object tagging).
  
  

Quality, Governance & Documentation

• Implement robust testing (dbt tests, Great Expectations) and proactive data validation frameworks.
• Establish and enforce governance: data lineage, cataloging, PII classification, policies, RBAC, auditability.
• Maintain documentation and lineage in tools like Alation/Collibra/DataHub; automate as part of CI/CD.
  
  

DevOps & Automation

• Set up CI/CD for dbt and data artifacts (Git-based workflows, environments, automated tests, PR checks).
• Build Python utilities for ELT automation, data processing, backfills, and metadata operations.
• Implement observability using Monte Carlo/Datafold (freshness, volume, schema change, anomaly monitoring).
  
  

Collaboration & Enablement

• Partner with analytics/data science teams to enable governed self-service (semantic/metric layers, certified datasets).
• Translate stakeholder requirements into scalable data models and SLAs.
• Champion DataOps and best practices across teams; conduct knowledge sessions.
  
  

Must Have

To be considered for this role, you must meet the following essential qualifications:

• Education: A Bachelors or Master’s degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related technical field is typically required.
• 4–7 years in data engineering/analytics engineering with cloud data warehousing focus.
• Deep expertise in Snowflake: architecture, security (RBAC, masking, row access), performance tuning, cost optimization, and workload management.
• Advanced dbt: macros, packages, refactoring layered models, exposures, tests (unique/not_null/relationships/custom), and best practices.
• Strong ELT experience with Fivetran/Stitch/Singer; ability to build custom connectors if needed.
• Excellent SQL and data modeling (dimensional modeling, star schema, Data Vault).
• Proficient in Python for data processing, scripting, and automation.
• Experience with Airflow/Prefect/Dagster for orchestration.
• Solid CI/CD knowledge: Git workflows, environment promotion, automated testing.
• Experience on at least one cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure) and their native data services (e.g., S3/GCS/ADLS, IAM, secrets).
• Data governance, lineage, and data quality practices (Great Expectations/dbt tests).
• Familiarity with BI tools (Tableau/Looker/Power BI) and how models feed them.
  
  

Good to Have

• Reverse ETL: Census, Hightouch, Polytomic.
• Streaming platforms: Kafka, Kinesis, Pub/Sub; CDC patterns.
• Data catalog: Alation, Collibra, DataHub.
• Observability: Monte Carlo, Datafold (diffs, lineage impacts, anomaly detection).
• Containerization & deployment: Docker, Kubernetes.
• Concepts: DataOps, analytics engineering, data mesh, metric layer/semantic modeling.
• Additional warehouses: BigQuery; transformation Dataform.
