Role Summary We are seeking skilled Data Engineers with strong expertise in Snowflake, data-pipeline development, orchestration, ETL/ELT, cloud data platforms, and modern data-engineering practices. The role will design, build, orchestrate, and optimize scalable pipelines and data products that support analytics, reporting, AI/ML, and operational needs. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with Snowflake, Azure Data Factory, and modern transformation and data-management tooling, including Coalesce Transform, Catalog, and Quality. The successful candidate will collaborate with Product, Analytics, Architecture, and Business teams to deliver reliable, secure, observable, and high-performing data solutions.
Key Responsibilities Pipeline Engineering and Orchestration: Design, develop, and maintain scalable batch, near-real-time, and real-time data pipelines. Build reusable ingestion, transformation, orchestration, scheduling, and data-delivery components. Implement dependency management, retries, monitoring, alerting, logging, and operational recovery. Optimize pipelines for performance, reliability, maintainability, and cost. Snowflake Development: Build Snowflake databases, schemas, tables, views, Dynamic Tables, Tasks, Streams, Snowpipe processes, and stored procedures. Implement data models supporting reporting, analytics, semantic layers, and AI use cases. Apply query tuning, workload optimization, clustering, and cost-management practices. Transformation and Data Management: Develop modular transformation workflows using Coalesce Transform. Support metadata discovery, documentation, and lineage using Coalesce Catalog. Implement automated validation and quality controls using Coalesce Quality. Orchestrate ingestion and integration workflows using Azure Data Factory. Integration and Modernization: Integrate data from enterprise applications, APIs, databases, files, and third-party systems. Modernize legacy ETL processes for cloud-native Snowflake architectures. Support API-based and event-driven integration patterns where appropriate. Data Quality, Governance, and Delivery: Implement validation, reconciliation, exception handling, observability, lineage, and auditability. Follow enterprise security, privacy, and governance standards. Participate in Agile delivery, technical design, production support, and continuous improvement.
