• Experience with S3 External Stages and secure AWS-to-Snowflake data movement.
• Knowledge of AWS KMS encryption and high-volume Snowflake ingestion patterns.
• Understanding of MuleSoft data consumption and integration architectures.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience.
• 5+ years of data engineering experience, with strong proficiency in Python and SQL.
• Hands-on production experience with Snowflake; SnowPro Core certification preferred.
• Experience with dbt and modern ELT/ETL pipeline design and orchestration.
