  • Partner with executive stakeholders and cross-functional teams.
  • Lead and mentor junior data engineers.
  • Drive delivery across multi-stakeholder enterprise environments.
  • Demonstrate measurable ROI through cost savings, performance gains, or SLA improvements.

Required Qualifications

  • 7–10 years of relevant data engineering experience (minimum 5 years for exceptional candidates).
  • Expert-level SQL proficiency.
  • Expert-level Snowflake experience.
  • Strong Python skills in a data engineering context.
  • Experience with Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud Platform cloud platforms.

  • Large-scale ETL/ELT pipeline implementation.
  • Data migration project leadership experience.
  • Experience mentoring or leading engineering teams.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related technical field.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Snowflake SnowPro Core certification (strongly preferred).
  • Snowflake SnowPro Advanced Architect certification.
  • Microsoft Azure Data or Solutions Architect certification.
  • dbt certification.
  • Master’s degree (MBA, M.S. in Data Science, Information Science, or related field).
  • Experience in Financial Services, Healthcare, Manufacturing, or Fortune 500 enterprises.
  • Demonstrated 30–90% performance optimization improvements.
