- Support data governance: implement and maintain retention policies, data lifecycle management, compliance-aligned controls, and auditing;
- Respond to and troubleshoot Snowflake incidents: identify root causes, implement long-term fixes, and prevent recurrence;
- Establish and maintain operational standards for Snowflake: runbooks, documentation, and change management processes;
- Collaborate with Architects, Data, and Analytics teams on best practices for data modeling, ingestion patterns, and Snowflake usage;
- Support integrations with Snowflake (ETL/ELT tools, BI tools, data pipelines) from a platform reliability and performance perspective;
- Be proactive and advocate for Snowflake best practices across teams in the company;
We expect:
- Strong hands-on experience with Snowflake administration and operations;
- We expect hands-on experience with Snowflake management via Terraform;
- Solid understanding of data warehouse concepts: compute vs storage, concurrency, workload patterns;
- Experience with access control and governance (RBAC, auditing, security best practices);
- Ability to analyze performance and cost drivers (queries, warehouses, clustering, caching behavior);
- Practical SQL expertise and ability to read/interpret complex workloads;
- Experience with automation (SQL scripting) is a strong plus;
- Strong communication skills for cross-team work (Engineering/Data/Finance/Security);

- Experience working in an Agile environment and operating production-grade platforms.
- Any SnowPro certification (Core or Advanced) is a strong plus.
