About the Role

We’re looking for a Snowflake Solution Architect to join an agile and highly technical team responsible for defining, building, and owning our next-generation data platform.

• Define the data platform roadmap, standards, and best practices as part of a lean, high-ownership team.  
• Partner with data engineers, analytics engineers, data scientists, and business groups to convert requirements into scalable Snowflake solutions.  
• Lead design sessions, perform technical reviews, and guide decisions related to warehousing, pipelines, orchestration, and governance.  
• Evaluate and integrate relevant tools (e.g., dbt, Airflow, Fivetran, Matillion, Azure/AWS services).  
• Implement strong data security, privacy, and access management controls within Snowflake.  
• Troubleshoot and optimize warehouse performance, cost efficiency, and query execution.  
• Mentor teammates and contribute to a culture of engineering excellence and continuous improvement.

Who You Are  

• 5 years of experience in data architecture and data engineering, with at least 3 years hands-on in Snowflake.  
• Deep expertise in Snowflake features (Warehouses, Streams/Tasks, Time Travel, RBAC, Clustering, Stages etc.).  
• Strong SQL skills and familiarity with Python.  
• Experience with cloud platforms (specifically Azure) and modern ELT tooling.  
• Strong understanding of data modeling (star, vault, wide tables), CI/CD for data, and scalable architecture patterns.  
• Comfortable working in a growing team with high ownership and the ability to set direction.  
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate across technical and non-technical groups.

Nice to Have  

• Experience with healthcare data and standards like HL7 and FHIR.  
• Experience with dbt for transformations.  
• Background in building event-driven or real-time data pipelines.  
• Prior experience designing greenfield data platforms.
