- Experience integrating AI/ML workflows (RAG, embeddings, vector search, model deployment) with cloud data platforms
- Proven ability to work independently and drive technical decisions with minimal oversight
Key Responsibilities
Platform Architecture
- Own end-to-end architecture of the Snowflake data platform: data modeling, ingestion, transformation, storage, and consumption layers.
- Architect solutions using Snowpark (Python/Java/Scala), Streams Tasks, Dynamic Tables, Iceberg Tables, External Tables, and Data Sharing/Marketplace.

Performance, Cost Security
- Define standards for performance optimization, warehouse sizing, and auto-suspend/scaling policies.
- Own cost optimization recommendations and monitor credit usage across the platform.
- Set data security standards - RBAC, masking, row-access policies, encryption - and monitor platform SLAs for availability, performance, and data freshness.
AI/ML Integration
- Lead adoption of Snowflake Cortex (LLM functions, Cortex Analyst, Cortex Search) for natural-language analytics and AI-powered applications.
- Design and build Cortex Agents and Snowflake Intelligence agents to orchestrate multi-step reasoning across structured and unstructured data.
- Define and maintain Semantic Views to provide governed, business-friendly data models for natural-language querying and agentic consumption.
- Architect Snowpark ML pipelines for feature engineering, model training, and inference.
- Guide integration of external AI/LLM services (eg , Anthropic, OpenAI, Azure OpenAI) via APIs, vector embeddings, and RAG patterns.
- Evaluate and implement vector/semantic search for unstructured data use cases.
- Partner with data science teams to operationalize ML models and ensure MLOps best practices within the Snowflake ecosystem.
Technical Leadership Delivery
- Act as the final technical authority on Snowflake-related design decisions; lead architecture review sessions.
- Provide technical guidance and code/design review to engineers working within the platform.
- Own project scoping, technical planning, and delivery of major architecture initiatives.
- Partner with product, analytics, security, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into scalable technical solutions.
- Produce architecture documentation, runbooks, and knowledge-transfer materials to ensure continuity of the platform.
Stakeholder Management
- Collaborate with business and technology stakeholders to define data platform and AI roadmaps.
- Conduct demos, training sessions, and enablement workshops on Snowflake and AI/ML capabilities.
- Mentor junior engineers and support proposal/pre-sales activities where applicable.
- Manage project deliverables, risks, and client/stakeholder communications.
