This position is on-site in Hunt Valley, MD. Candidates must be local or willing to commute. Responsibilities Snowflake Engineering & Data Pipeline Development
- Design, build, test, deploy, and maintain production-grade data pipelines using Snowflake-native capabilities including Snowpipe, streams, tasks, stored procedures, and functions.
- Build scalable ELT patterns and bronze/silver/gold data models that make enterprise data reliable, reusable, and easy to consume.
- Develop SQL and Python solutions for transformation, automation, orchestration, validation, and operational workflows.
- Troubleshoot production issues, perform root-cause analysis, and implement durable, maintainable fixes.
- Build, configure, operate, and troubleshoot Snowflake Openflow pipelines and connectors for enterprise data ingestion and replication.
- Develop and support integrations from relational databases, Oracle environments, traffic and operational systems, CRM platforms, and other enterprise sources.
- Implement API-based and vendor integrations using secure stages, external access integrations, authentication, and appropriate Snowflake ingestion patterns.
- Modernize legacy ETL by moving appropriate workloads to Openflow and Snowflake-native ELT patterns that improve reliability, maintainability, and efficiency.
- Build data quality and validation controls covering completeness, accuracy, freshness, reconciliation, and integration health.
- Develop monitoring and observability for ingestion, pipeline execution, data freshness, failures, and other operational conditions.
- Design pipelines for resilience, restartability, traceability, and maintainability, with clear operational ownership and documentation.
- Work deeply with Snowflake databases, schemas, warehouses, stages, integrations, roles, and other platform objects required to deliver production data solutions.
- Optimize queries, pipelines, warehouses, and data structures for performance and cost using actual workload and usage patterns.
- Apply appropriate access controls, environment separation, data protection, auditability, and governance practices in partnership with Security and data owners.
- Identify technical debt, reliability risks, unnecessary spend, and opportunities to simplify or standardize solutions.
- Build governed data foundations for enterprise reporting, analytics, operational workflows, and emerging AI and data-product use cases.
- Develop reusable data assets that support analytics applications, semantic layers, agents, and other consumption patterns without duplicating business logic.
- Participate in technical design, code reviews, releases, production support, and continuous improvement; use Git, automated deployment, testing, and documentation practices.
- Collaborate with Data Engineering, BI, Data Science, Security, Infrastructure, Finance, and business stakeholders to deliver practical, supportable solutions.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field; equivalent relevant experience will be considered.
- Approximately five or more years of progressive experience in data engineering, analytics engineering, or a closely related discipline.
- Deep, hands-on Snowflake experience building and supporting production data solutions in an enterprise environment.
- Strong SQL skills with experience in data modeling, ELT/ETL development, query optimization, and production troubleshooting.
- Hands-on experience with Snowflake-native capabilities such as Snowpipe, streams, tasks, stored procedures, and related engineering patterns.
- Experience building production integrations across multiple source systems and business domains, plus strong Python skills for engineering, automation, APIs, or Snowflake development.
- Experience with data quality, monitoring, observability, access controls, and governance in a production environment.
- Experience with Git-based source control, code review, deployment practices, and modern software engineering approaches; strong problem-solving, communication, documentation, and ownership skills.
- Experience with Snowflake Openflow and NiFi-based connectors for enterprise data replication and integration.
- Snowflake certification such as SnowPro Core, Advanced Data Engineer, or Advanced Administrator.
- Experience modernizing legacy ETL platforms into Snowflake-native and Openflow architectures.
- Experience with Snowflake performance tuning, warehouse sizing, workload optimization, resource monitoring, cost management, data sharing, or secure data distribution.
- Experience with external access integrations, OAuth, API integrations, notification patterns, or data quality/operational observability solutions.
- Experience with enterprise financial, customer, CRM, advertising, traffic, media, audience, or operational data; familiarity with Snowflake Cortex or Snowflake Intelligence is a plus.
