Lead make/buy/standardize decisions for connectors, CDC/integration tools, orchestration,
catalog, and observability.
Design and Implement CI/CD pipelines for data engineering workflows
Design and Implement Streaming data architectures and Micro-service based architectures
Design and implement reliable ingestion and transformation pipelines (batch/streaming) using
Snowflake features (Snowpipe, Streams & Tasks, external stages) and orchestration tools
(Airflow/ADF).
Drive data modeling best practices (dimensional, data vault, wide tables) with versioning,
testing, and documentation.
Enable CI/CD, environment promotion, automated data quality checks (dbt tests, Great
Expectations), and blue-green deployments.
Performance, Reliability & Cost
Lead workload management, query optimization, clustering, and caching strategies.
Implement resource monitors, autosuspend policies, and cost observability dashboards.
Own SLA/SLOs for key data products, incident runbooks, lineage-aware impact analysis, and
post-incident reviews.
Security, Compliance & Sharing
Define and enforce RBAC/ABAC, row/column-level security, masking policies, and secrets
management.
Partner with Security/GRC on auditing, data retention, PII/PHI protection, and regulatory

tables, materialized views, Secure Data Sharing.
Experience with at least one transformation framework (dbt strongly preferred) and
programming language (Python, Snowpark, UDFs).
Experience with orchestration (Airflow/ADF/Argo), CI/CD (Jenkins/GitHub Actions/GitLab/Azure
DevOps), and IaC (Terraform).
Fluency with cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP), object storage (S3/ADLS/GCS), networking
(VPC/VNet, PrivateLink/Private Endpoints).
Solid grounding in data governance (catalog/lineage tools), privacy & security controls, and
observability (logs/metrics/traces for pipelines).
Experience in Fivetran and streaming tools Kafka, Pulsar or other equivalent.
Performance tuning at scale: warehouse sizing, task concurrency, pruning/clustering, cost
optimization.
Excellent communication able to present architecture tradeoffs to engineers and executives.
Preferred Skills
SnowPro Advanced: Architect or Advanced: Data Engineer certification.
Data quality frameworks ,data contracts, and contract-testing patterns.
