• Integrating data from internal applications, SaaS platforms, and third-party sources through APIs and file-based feeds.
• Optimizing Snowflake performance and costs via warehouse sizing, query optimization, and monitoring usage patterns.
• Implementing data quality checks, monitoring, and alerting processes to proactively identify and resolve pipeline failures or data quality issues.
• Applying data security and governance standards, including role-based access controls and data masking.
• Collaborating with application development teams on .NET-based systems, supporting data sourcing and building integrated solutions.
• Documenting data flows, models, and pipeline processes as well as engaging in code reviews to ensure best practices.

Essential Skills, Experience

• 5-7+ years of data engineering experience with proven results in designing, building, and maintaining complex data pipelines.
• Strong, hands-on expertise working with Snowflake, including data modeling, advanced SQL development, and performance tuning.
• Production experience using AWS data services (S3, Glue, Lambda, Step Functions) to build and support scalable data solutions.
• Deep understanding of data warehousing concepts, such as dimensional modeling and ELT patterns.
• Competence with advanced SQL; able to write optimized, maintainable, and scalable queries.
• Ability to read, support, and build data integrations with .NET applications (familiarity with C#/.NET).
• Experience with version control (Git) and CI/CD best practices for data engineering pipelines.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to collaborate closely with both technical and business stakeholders.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
