The ideal candidate will evolve into a Snowflake Technical Lead within 1–2 years, guiding a high-performance engineering team and influencing enterprise-wide data architecture decisions.

Your responsibilities:

1. Architect, design, and develop high-performance, maintainable, and secure Snowflake-based data platforms.
2. Build and optimize robust data pipelines, including batch and near-real-time ingestion frameworks using best-in-class tools (e.g., dbt, Snowpipe, Streams & Tasks).
3. Implement advanced data transformations and models (star / snowflake schemas, SCDs, time-travel) using SQL, dbt, and Python.
4. Collaborate with analytics, business intelligence, and data science teams to deliver trustworthy, scalable, and business-aligned data assets.
5. Drive the adoption of software engineering best practices in the data lifecycle: CI / CD pipelines, modularization, versioning, testing, and documentation.
6. Ensure end-to-end data governance, security, privacy, and lineage tracking are implemented across the Snowflake ecosystem.
7. Contribute to the data architecture roadmap, influencing choices on tooling, modularity, and long-term scalability.
8. Provide technical mentorship to junior engineers and participate in the selection and onboarding of future team members.

Required Experience & Skills:

• Minimum 10 years of experience in data engineering, with at least 6 years in Snowflake development in enterprise-scale environments.
• Strong proficiency in Snowflake dialect, query tuning, UDFs, stored procedures, dbt, and Python.
• Optional but valued: JavaScript, Scala, or Shell scripting.
• Proven experience with Snowflake-specific capabilities such as Roles & RBAC, resource monitors, data sharing, materialized views, zero-copy cloning, dynamic masking, time travel, tasks, and streams.
• Deep understanding of data warehousing principles, data modeling (3NF, dimensional, data vault), and ELT / ETL architecture patterns.
• Expertise in CI / CD for data environments and familiarity with orchestration frameworks (e.g., Airflow, Prefect, Dagster) and monitoring tools.
• Familiarity with modern data catalogs, governance tools, and data quality frameworks.

Leadership Potential:

• Demonstrated ability to lead technical initiatives, mentor teams, and influence architectural decisions.
• Capable of translating strategic business needs into scalable, production-ready data solutions.

Educational Background & Certifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or other STEM disciplines.
• Strong foundation in algorithms, distributed computing, and database theory.
• Preferred certifications: Snowflake SnowPro Core (required), SnowPro Advanced Architect or Data Engineer (highly desirable), certifications in dbt, AWS / GCP / Azure Data Engineering, or equivalent.
• Continuous learner mindset with a commitment to staying current with modern data technologies.

What We Offer:

• A key role in shaping the future of Fluidra’s data platform architecture.
• Collaborative, diverse, and innovative environment focused on impact and learning.
