• Develop reusable data transformation components and UDFs.
• Support architectural decisions related to connectivity, platform configuration, and workload design.
• Optimize pipelines and Snowflake workloads for performance, reliability, and cost.
• Deliver prioritized use cases through iterative Design, Build, Business Testing, Operational Testing, and Production cycles.
• Support UAT, production readiness, deployment, rollback, recovery, and business continuity procedures.
• Help establish reusable platform capabilities so that subsequent use cases can be delivered more efficiently.

Must Have:

• Hands-on experience with Snowflake, including data modeling, performance optimization, access controls, and scalable warehouse/lakehouse patterns.
• Functional understanding of transactional data systems, such as a Trading or ERP system.
• Working knowledge of AWS services such as S3, Glue, Lambda, Athena, EMR, Redshift, and cloud-based data architectures.
