• Manage the Snowflake environment, including warehouses, roles, resource monitors, platform performance, cost management, reliability, scheduling, dependencies, and failure resolution.
• Protect PHI, PII, and other sensitive data by implementing RBAC, least-privilege access, masking, row-access policies, audit logging, lineage, and governance controls.
