They are seeking a Senior Data Engineer who will design and implement data architectures, lead the development of data pipelines, and ensure data security and compliance standards are met.ResponsibilitiesDesign and Implement Snowflake-Native Data ArchitecturesLead the creation and optimization of modern data architectures on Snowflake, including multi-layer pipelines (bronze/silver/gold), real-time streaming ingestion, and governed analytics layersEnsure that the architecture supports high-volume data workloads, near-real-time freshness requirements, and integrates seamlessly with upstream operational systems and downstream analytics consumersLead the Development of Complex, End-to-End Data Pipelines Using Native Snowflake ServicesArchitect and build data pipelines using Dynamic Tables for declarative SQL-based transformations with automated dependency management and incremental refreshImplement real-time and near-real-time ingestion using Snowpipe and Snowpipe StreamingDesign event-driven and procedural pipeline logic using Streams and Tasks for complex orchestration scenarios (MERGE, SCD patterns, external function calls)Leverage Snowpark (Python) for advanced transformations that require procedural logic beyond SQLCollaborate with Data Scientists, Analysts, and Other StakeholdersWork closely with analytics and data science teams to understand data requirements and translate them into scalable, performant Snowflake solutionsBuild and maintain Semantic Views and governed consumption layers that provide self-service access to curated dataProvide technical guidance on Snowflake best practices for data usage, cost optimization, and warehouse sizingEnsure Data Security, Governance, and Compliance Standards Are MetImplement and manage Snowflake data governance features including Dynamic Data Masking, Row Access Policies, Object Tagging, and Data ClassificationEstablish and maintain data governance frameworks ensuring data quality and compliance with relevant regulations (SOX, GDPR, HIPAA)Manage role-based access control (RBAC), data sharing, and cross-account governance using Snowflake's native security modelLead the Technical Design of New ProjectsResponsible for making critical decisions regarding Snowflake architecture patterns, product direction, and delivery tradeoffs, including when to use Dynamic Tables, Streams/Tasks, Materialized Views, and external orchestration based on business requirements and user needsDevelop and enforce best practices for pipeline development, testing, deployment, and monitoring within the teamDesign and document data contracts and SLAs for pipeline freshness (TARGET_LAG), data quality, and availabilityMentor and Develop Junior EngineersProvide technical leadership and mentorship to junior and mid-level engineers, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvementLead code reviews, pair programming sessions, and technical workshops focused on Snowflake-native development patterns and engineering best practicesCreate reusable patterns, templates, and documentation for common pipeline scenarios (CDC ingestion, SCD management, real-time aggregations)Operate as a Product Minded Data Engineering LeaderPartner with business stakeholders, analytics teams, and engineering leaders to shape the roadmap for data products and platform capabilities based on business value, user needs, and operational prioritiesTranslate ambiguous business problems into clearly defined product requirements, success metrics, delivery plans, and prioritized engineering workOwn the lifecycle of key data products and shared platform services, including intake, prioritization, stakeholder alignment, adoption, and continuous improvementContinuously Evaluate and Improve Existing SystemsRegularly review current data systems to identify opportunities for migration to modern patterns (for example, migrating legacy Streams/Tasks to Dynamic Tables where appropriate)Monitor pipeline health, refresh performance, and cost efficiency using Snowflake's INFORMATION_SCHEMA, ACCOUNT_USAGE, and alerting capabilitiesImplement optimizations including incremental refresh tuning, warehouse right-sizing, and query performance improvementsSkillsDesign and Implement Snowflake-Native Data ArchitecturesLead
