• Coordinate with product teams and vendors to monitor roadmaps and feature sets for Snowflake and Databricks while aligning platform capabilities with product needs

Here is what will qualify you for the role:

• Strong experience managing a Databricks infrastructure at scale
• Proven track record delivering reliability and observability for high‑scale SaaS, including SLOs, alerts, and incident response
• Advanced Python and SQL skills

What will make you stand out:

• Snowflake experience, including warehouse tuning, governance, and terraform/ddl provisioning
• Experience designing and operating a hybrid data platform that integrates Databricks and Snowflake
• Strong Spark skills for tuning, partitioning knowledge, and improving performance of large jobs
• Knowledge of security and governance best practices on both platforms
• Delta Lake and lakehouse expertise: experience with table formats, CDC, compaction, and storage layout optimizations that improve performance and enable efficient interoperability between Databricks and Snowflake
