• Experience with Argo Workflows on Kubernetes or similar orchestration tools.
• Python or other data-engineering language for automation and tooling.
• Understanding of data modeling, pipeline dependencies, schema evolution, and data quality.
• Observability, logging, alerting, and incident-management for production data platforms.
• Ability to lead complex incidents and perform root-cause analysis.
• Strong decision-making, estimation, and cross-functional collaboration.
• Mentor engineers and coordinate with Cloud/DevOps, Analytics, Security, Governance, and business stakeholders.

• Operate Snowflake production and non-production environments, including sizing, monitoring, and changes.
• Administer data access with least-privilege controls and audit-ready practices.
• Manage data ingestion across Fivetran, HVR, and custom pipelines with scheduling and schema-change coordination.
• Design and maintain pipelines and dbt models across RAW, CURATED, and CONSUMPTION layers with testing and CI/CD.
• Support AWS S3 data-lake workflows, retention controls, and downstream Snowflake workloads.
• Coordinate Argo Workflows/Kubernetes data workloads with Cloud/DevOps teams, including deployment and recovery.
• Define data quality and observability standards; implement freshness, row-count, and schema-drift checks.
• Expand end-to-end monitoring and lineage with tools like dbt, Splunk, and alerting stacks.
• Lead or support major data incidents, perform post-incident reviews and preventive actions.
• Participate in Tableau Cloud operations when upstream data or connectivity requires investigation.
• Drive standardization, automation, reliability, performance, and cost improvements.
• Operate via service-management workflows; create runbooks and knowledge-transfer materials.

- 5+ years of professional experience in Data Engineering or Data Platform Engineering.

- Strong hands-on experience operating and developing solutions on Snowflake , including data-layer design, warehouse performance, access patterns, and production troubleshooting.

- Advanced SQL skills and strong experience with dbt for transformation, testing, documentation, lineage, and controlled deployment.

- Experience operating managed ingestion tools such as Fivetran or HVR and supporting custom data-ingestion pipelines.

- Hands-on experience with AWS data services , particularly S3 and event-driven or file-based ingestion patterns.

- Experience orchestrating and troubleshooting data workloads with Argo Workflows on Kubernetes , or comparable workflow-orchestration technologies.

- Proficiency in Python or a comparable language for data engineering, automation, and operational tooling.

- Strong understanding of data modeling, pipeline dependencies, schema evolution, backfills, data validation, and production data quality.

- Experience with observability, logging, alerting, and incident-management practices for production data platforms.

- Demonstrated ability to lead complex incident resolution, perform root-cause analysis, and convert findings into preventive improvements.

- Ability to make well-reasoned technical decisions, identify tradeoffs, estimate work, and guide improvements across a complex platform.

- Experience mentoring engineers and collaborating effectively with Cloud / DevOps, Analytics, Security, Governance, and business stakeholders.

- Strong written and verbal English communication skills, with the ability to work directly with client stakeholders.

- Full availability to work from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM Pacific Time and participate in an agreed on-call rotation.

NICE TO HAVES

- Hands-on experience with a data-specific observability platform.

- Experience supporting Tableau Cloud administration, data-source connectivity, extracts, scheduled refreshes, or production dashboard dependencies.

- Familiarity with Snowflake cost optimization, audit logging, tasks, stored procedures, and environment rationalization.

- Experience migrating legacy ingestion or orchestration patterns such as Boomi or AWS Data Pipeline to modern managed or Kubernetes-based solutions.

- Experience with Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, and Infrastructure as Code practices supporting data platforms.

- Experience with service-management and change-control tools such as Freshservice and Jira.

- Familiarity with HIPAA, GDPR, FDA-related controls, least-privilege access, separation of duties, and audit-ready operational practices.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

- Provide senior technical ownership for the Data Platform service tower during the LatAm coverage window, including day-to-day operations, complex troubleshooting, and L2/L3 escalation.

- Operate and improve Snowflake production and non-production environments, including warehouse configuration and sizing, performance and consumption monitoring, object lifecycle, environment hygiene, and support for production changes.

- Administer data access within established controls, including users, roles, service accounts, secrets, and credential rotation, while maintaining least-privilege and audit-ready practices.
