Responsibilities

Define the architecture and design principles for Snowflake's internal data platform, taking ownership of data flows, governance, and access across Finance, Sales, HR, and other essential functions.
Lead cross-functional data programs from problem framing through delivery, coordinating Engineering, Analytics, and Business Systems stakeholders on scope and rationale.

Promote AI-enabled data workflows by integrating LLM-powered tools, Cortex Agents, and automation into the data engineering practice.
Establish scalable dbt standards, including modeling conventions, testing frameworks, and CI/CD practices for the entire data team.
Influence multiple teams through architecture documentation, technical specifications, and stakeholder-oriented materials to align efforts and accelerate delivery.
Identify and mitigate systemic data quality, performance, and reliability challenges, elevating the definition of done for the platform.

Requirements

Deep expertise with Snowflake, including advanced data modeling, RBAC design, performance optimization, and the broader feature set (Cortex, Dynamic Tables, Streams, Tasks).
Expert-level dbt skills (dbt Core and/or dbt Platform), including macro development, testing frameworks, CI/CD integration, and large-scale project management.
Strong proficiency with AI development tools, including LLM-powered workflows, agent frameworks (Cortex Agents, Claude Code, Cortex Code), and prompt engineering for data use cases.
Experience designing and implementing RBAC frameworks at scale, including row access policies, masking policies, and role hierarchies in Snowflake or similar platforms.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a track record of producing clear technical specs, architecture documents, and stakeholder-facing materials.
