- Spearhead migrations from legacy data environments (on-prem databases, Hadoop, traditional ETL) to Snowflake
- Build high-performance, scalable data pipelines and warehouse models optimized for analytics, reporting, and advanced workloads
- Collaborate with technical and business stakeholders to define solution blueprints and deliver measurable value
- Integrate Snowflake with a broader tech ecosystem — ingestion tools, orchestration frameworks, BI platforms, and data governance tools
- Implement and promote Snowflake best practices around security, data sharing, performance tuning, and cost optimization
- Support RFPs, build solution architecture decks, and define implementation roadmaps for client engagements
- Contribute to accelerator and framework development, including partner-aligned GTM initiatives with Snowflake and others
- Coach and mentor junior architects and engineers across global delivery teams
- Be the voice of thought leadership — internally and externally — for modern cloud data platforms

- 20+ years of experience in data architecture, engineering, or analytics
- 5+ years of hands-on experience implementing Snowflake solutions in large-scale enterprise settings
- Snowflake certification (Architect, Advanced, or equivalent practical expertise)
- Strong understanding of ELT/ETL design, SQL optimization, and dimensional modeling
- Experience with data ingestion tools like Fivetran, Matillion, or Informatica; and orchestration with Airflow, dbt, or similar
- Familiarity with data governance, security, role-based access control (RBAC), and compliance frameworks
- Working knowledge of at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
- Ability to work seamlessly across distributed global teams (onshore, offshore, nearshore
