Successful staff engineer will be inquisitive, innovative, collaborative, influential, and hands on to ensure seamless platform operations and continued evolution of the services over time.

Key Responsibilities

Snowflake Platform Administration & Cost Intelligence

  • Own RBAC and security posture across AWS Snowflake accounts; ensure policy‑driven access aligned to least privilege
  • Govern schema, warehouse, and database configurations for sustained performance and reliability
  • Set and enforce Time Travel retention and replication/failover policies across environments
  • Establish cost intelligence: implement auto‑suspend/scale rules, credit‑usage dashboards, and anomaly alerts; drive ongoing cost/perf optimization
  • Orchestrate enterprise DR drills for PROD/DR; ensure controlled failover and rapid, verifiable recovery

Performance & Optimization

  • Instrument and tune query performance; eliminate systemic bottlenecks and publish platform tuning patterns
  • Right‑size compute and qualify/migrate critical workloads to improved configurations; document measurable cost/performance outcomes

Change Management, Security & Compliance

  • Design and maintain automated, auditable change pipelines (Git‑based workflows, CI/CD, approval gates) for Snowflake releases
  • Lead quarterly SOX access reviews; enforce RBAC, segregation of duties, and environment isolation (PROD vs. Non‑PROD)
  • Enforce encryption policies, IP/network controls, and zero‑trust‑aligned guardrails.

Cross‑Functional Collaboration & Enablement

  • Partner with application and analytics teams (e.g., Glue, DBT, Databricks, Power BI, Looker) to deliver secure, performant integrations and reliable data products
  • Engage InfoSec and Audit on controls, evidence, and remediation plans
  • Lead incident & problem management for connectivity, driver, and upstream/downstream integration issues; deliver durable root‑cause fixes and prevention playbooks
  • Mentor junior DBA and data engineers through patterns, runbooks, and design reviews

Platform Evolution

  • Set platform direction, evangelize best practices, and influence roadmaps across teams; translate complex technical concepts into clear recommendations for both executives and engineers, building consensus and momentum
  • Anticipate risks and solve incidents/problems proactively, and institutionalize innovations as standards to unlock performance, resilience, and cost efficiencies
  • Champion targeted POCs for advanced Snowflake capabilities—including Cortex for AI/semantic layers, ML pipelines, dbt native projects, Snowpark, Container Services, and Native Apps

Required Skills

  • Strong expertise in Snowflake architecture, SQL, and performance tuning
  • Deep understanding of analytical platforms or database concepts and familiarity with industry trends
  • Familiarity with role-based security models and SOX compliance
  • Scripting skills (Python, Shell) for automation
  • Excellent problem-solving and communication skills

Preferred Qualifications

  • 8+ years in analytical data platform administration with at least 3 years on Snowflake.
  • Knowledge of ETL tools (DBT, Databricks, DataStage etc..) and BI platforms (Power BI, Looker)
  • Experience in disaster recovery planning and audit processes
  • Exposure to cloud security best practices
