• Advanced knowledge of Snowflake query profiling, performance tuning, clustering, warehouse sizing, and cost optimization.
• Solid experience with dbt, including:
  • Data modeling
  • Incremental models
  • Materializations
  • Testing
  • Documentation
• Strong experience developing, maintaining, and refactoring Apache Airflow pipelines.
• Advanced knowledge of Python and SQL.
• Proven experience working with large-scale data warehouses and production data platforms.
• Experience with data deduplication, consolidation, and safe warehouse refactoring.
• Strong understanding of data quality, reliability, and data integrity principles.
• Experience troubleshooting and resolving complex issues in production environments.
• Ability to take end-to-end ownership of technical solutions and deliver complex initiatives independently.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Upper-Intermediate to Advanced English proficiency (B2+/C1).

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, maintain, and optimize data pipelines and data warehouse solutions.
• Develop and refactor Apache Airflow DAGs and data pipelines.
• Build and maintain scalable data models using dbt.
• Develop efficient and maintainable Python and SQL solutions.
• Optimize Snowflake workloads through query performance tuning, clustering strategies, warehouse sizing, and cost optimization.
• Analyze query execution and identify opportunities to improve performance and resource utilization.
• Perform safe deduplication, consolidation, and refactoring of production data warehouses.
• Troubleshoot complex data platform issues and ensure reliable production operations.
• Ensure data pipelines and transformations meet established standards for quality, consistency, and reliability.
• Take ownership of technical solutions from design and implementation through production deployment and troubleshooting.
• Collaborate with other engineering and technical stakeholders to improve the overall data platform.
• Contribute to the continuous evolution, scalability, and efficiency of the data infrastructure.

What We Offer

• Fully remote work environment.
• Opportunity to work on a modern, high-scale data platform.
