Senior Snowflake Engineer

Position :
Snowflake Engineer

Full time - Hybrid / Remote work mode

Role overview

Own the design and delivery of data + GenAI solutions where Snowflake is the primary platform. Expect a practical split of 60% data engineering/Snowflake optimization and 40% GenAI/Cortex work (good to have).

What you'll do

• Build and product ionize data pipelines in Snowflake (Snowflake SQL, Tasks/Streams, Snowpark/Python) with strong SLAs, cost controls, and monitoring
• Use Snowflake Cortex (LLM functions, vector search, model inference) to ship RAG/analytics assistants, summarization, and workflow automation
• Prototype quickly, then harden to production with CI/CD, logging, alerting, and access controls
• Integrate external LLM services or vector stores when Snowflake-native features aren't the best fit, keeping data gravity in Snowflake
• Apply governance and security best practices (RBAC, masking, tags, row-level/column-level security)
• Collaborate with data product owners and analysts to scope use cases, estimate effort, and measure impact
• Document patterns and coach teammates on Snowflake/Cortex usage

Must-have qualifications

• 6-8 years in data engineering/analytics (or equivalent impact), including 1+ year building in Snowflake in production.
• Strong SQL and Python; hands-on with Snowpark and UDFs (Python preferred).
• Practical experience with at least one Snowflake AI capability: Cortex LLM functions, vector search, or model inference (POCs are fine)
• Proven ability to ship: from prototype production with quality, cost, and performance in mind
• Working knowledge of data security/governance and performance tuning in Snowflake

Nice to have

• Snowflake certifications (Snow Pro Core/Advanced/Data Engineering)
• Experience with RAG architectures, embeddings, Lang Chain/Llama Index, or ML lifecycle tools (MLflow)
• dbt, Git-based CI/CD, Docker; basic observability for data/LLM systems
• Data viz (e.g., Power BI/Tableau) or building simple REST/Streamlit apps for demos.
• Prior work with Azure OpenAI, GCP Vertex AI, Databricks, or other cloud AI stack
