Responsibilities: Design overall data structure, ensuring that Snowflake's features (e.g., data sharing, scalability, secure data exchange, etc.) are fully utilized to meet the business requirements. Create a blueprint for how data will be stored, processed, and accessed within the Snowflake platform. Perform optimization of data pipelines and workflows for performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency. Design ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) or ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) processes, and optimize queries and data storage strategies. Integrate with other cloud services (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP), third-party tools, and on-premises data systems. Designs and implements strategies to control access to sensitive data, applying encryption, role-based access control, and data masking as necessary. Work closely with data engineers, data scientists, business analysts, and other stakeholders to understand their requirements and ensure the Snowflake environment meets those needs. Monitor the performance of the Snowflake environment, identifying bottlenecks, and ensuring optimal query performance. Automate administrative tasks using Snowflake SQL and scripting languages like Python or Shell scripting. Preform data loading methods (bulk loading using COPY INTO, Snowpipe for real-time ingestion, and External tables). Perform Snowflake cloning capabilities for databases and schemas. Perform configuration and management of Snowflake Virtual Warehouses including scaling, resizing and auto-suspend/resume settings. Implement roles and privileges for managing secure access utilizing Snowflake RBAC (Role-Based Access Control). Integrate Snowflake SSO (Single Sign-On) and SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) for secure access and identity management. Configure alerts and monitor data pipeline failures, resource spikes, and cost thresholds.
