  • Troubleshoot and resolve database issues in both on-premises and cloud environments
  • Maintain clear documentation for database processes, migration strategies, and coding standards

Data Engineering / Cloud — Evolving Scope

  • Design and build scalable data pipelines for ingestion, transformation, and integration
  • Integrate data from Oracle, SQL Server, and external systems into Snowflake
  • Develop and maintain ELT/ETL processes using Python, SQL, and cloud-native tools
  • Support and extend Fivetran ingestion and identify coverage gaps
  • Design and maintain data models in Snowflake using SQL and dbt (facts, dimensions, metrics)
  • Support BI tools such as Tableau and Power BI with performant, well-documented datasets
  • Implement monitoring, alerting, data testing, and validation across pipelines
  • Contribute to data governance, semantic layer development, and architectural decisions
