Implement and maintain disaster recovery, replication, backup, and archival strategies across platforms.
Collaborate with data engineers, data scientists, BI teams, and architects to support scalable data models, integrations, and reporting.
Provide production support, incident response, and root-cause analysis for data platform issues.

Required Skills/Experience
Hands-on Snowflake administration: warehouse management, query tuning, clustering, caching, cost governance, Time Travel, and replication.
