- Guide conversion of Hive, Spark, Python and shell workloads to Snowflake SQL and Snowpark, using AI-assisted tools with clear review controls.
- Set the validation approach: reconciliation, data-quality rules, parallel runs, cutover and rollback.
- Work with client architecture, security and governance teams on access, retention and compliance decisions.
- Identify new growth opportunities within the account, such as further migration domains, data platform and AI-enabled consumption initiatives, by building relationships with client architects and business stakeholders.
- Recommend solutions and shape proposals for these opportunities, working with Altimetrik account, sales and delivery leadership on scope, approach, estimates and commercials.
- Mentor engineers and support estimates, scope and risk management.
What You Bring
- 12+ years in data engineering and architecture, with 4+ years of hands-on Snowflake experience.

- Strong SQL, Python and Spark; working knowledge of Snowpark, orchestration and CI/CD for data pipelines.
- Experience with data modeling, lineage and reconciliation in a regulated environment.
- Experience leading distributed teams and presenting to senior client stakeholders.
- Track record of solutioning and proposal development, including identifying client needs, framing solutions and contributing to winning new work.
- Preferred: financial services background, generative AI tooling for code conversion, SnowPro Advanced Architect certification.
