Snowflake Data Engineer

Build and scale cloud data products on Snowflake supporting institutional trading, risk, and regulatory reporting. This is a hands‑on build role — you will own pipelines end‑to‑end from ingestion through curated, governed consumption layers used by front‑office, risk, and control functions. Key Responsibilities: Design, develop, and optimize Snowflake data models (staging → integration → semantic/consumption layers) for institutional trade, position, reference, and market data. Build ingestion pipelines using Snowpipe / Snowpipe Streaming, Streams & Tasks, Dynamic Tables, and external stages against S3. Develop transformation logic in SQL and dbt with version control, CI/CD, and automated testing. Tune performance and cost: warehouse right-sizing, clustering keys, micro‑partition pruning, query profiling, result caching, resource monitors, and credit‑consumption reporting. Implement data security and entitlements: RBAC hierarchy, dynamic data masking, row access policies, secure views, and secure data sharing across LOBs. Migrate legacy Oracle / Teradata / Sybase / Hadoop workloads to Snowflake, including reconciliation and parallel‑run validation. Partner with data governance on lineage, cataloging, data quality rules, and audit/regulatory evidence. Support production: incident triage, root‑cause analysis, SLA adherence, and on‑call rotation for critical batch cycles. Work in Agile squads with BAs, QA, and platform engineering; participate in design reviews and code reviews. Required Qualifications 7+ years in data engineering; 4+ years hands‑on Snowflake in a production environment. Expert SQL — window functions, CTEs, complex joins, query optimization, execution plan analysis. dbt (Core or Cloud) — models, macros, snapshots, tests, exposures. Orchestration: Airflow, Control-M, or Autosys. AWS: S3, IAM, Glue, Lambda, Secrets Manager. CI/CD and IaC: Git, Jenkins/GitHub Actions, Terraform or Schema change for Snowflake object deployment. Dimensional and Data Vault modeling; slowly changing dimensions; late‑arriving data handling. Demonstrated Snowflake cost-governance ownership (not just development). Preferred / Differentiators SnowPro Core / Advanced Data Engineer certification. #J-18808-Ljbffr Gandiv Insights LLC
