Experience with Azure SQL and related Azure services is a plus. The team’s technology needs evolve, so a willingness to learn and adopt new tools is essential. 

Responsibilities:
 

• Manage andoptimize Snowflake and Databricks environments, including performance tuning, cost controls, workload isolation, and scaling; provide secondary support for Azure SQL and Azure Data Factory. 
• Build andmaintain data pipelines using Databricks, Snowflake Streams/Tasks, and Azure Data Factory.

• Tune queries and workloads using native tools such as Snowflake Query Profile,Databricks SQL Analytics, and Azure Monitor. 
• Implement andmaintain disaster recovery, replication, backup, and archival strategies across platforms. 
• Collaborate with data engineers, data scientists, BI teams, and architects to support scalable data models, integrations, and reporting.
• Provide production support, incident response, and root-cause analysis for data platform issues.
• Evaluate and adopt new platform features (e.g., Snowflake Native Apps, Databricks Unity Catalog) to improve governance and automation.

Qualifications

• Hands-on Snowflake administration: warehouse management, query tuning, clustering, caching, cost governance, Time Travel, and replication.

• Experience with backup, recovery, and DR strategies including Snowflake replication and Time Travel.
• Proven production support skills with ability to resolve complex, cross-platform incidents.
• Familiarity with CI/CD and DevOps practices for data platform deployments.
• Solid documentation skills — SOPs, runbooks, architecture diagrams, and DR plans.
• Clear communicator who works well with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Awareness of AI services relevant to platform administration.
