- Automate deployment of Snowflake TASK objects (scheduled/stream processing) and ensure safe migration strategies for production workloads.
- Implement security controls using least-privilege RBAC, object-level grants, and secrets management (HashiCorp Vault, cloud secret stores).
- Collaborate with data engineering teams to onboard pipelines (Snowpipe, ingestion stages, external tables) and ensure Terraform models match runtime needs
- Monitor, tune, and cost-optimize Snowflake compute usage and storage; implement resource monitors and alerting
- Build tests and validations for Terraform (unit/integration testing with Terratest or similar) and implement automated checks (policy-as-code / sentinel / OPA)
- Mentor teammates on Snowflake best practices, IaC patterns, and secure deployment workflows
- Automate deployment of data models, warehouses, and data sharing processes.
- Develop ETL/ELT solutions to ingest, transform, and load structured/unstructured data.
- Monitor performance, troubleshoot issues, and fine-tune queries, tasks, and stored procedures.
- Ensure compliance with data governance, access control, and audit requirements.
Required Skills & Experience

- Hands-on experience deploying Snowflake resources programmatically using Terraform or equivalent IaC tools

- Familiarity with Snowflake features: Tasks, Streams, Snowpipe, Time Travel, Fail-safe, Data Sharing, Secure Views, and user/role management
- Experience with Terraform best practices: modules, workspaces, remote state, versioning, and secret handling
- Experience integrating IaC into CI/CD pipelines and implementing automated testing and policy checks
- Experience with at least one public cloud (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and the associated networking, storage, and IAM concepts
- Proficiency in scripting (Python, Bash, or similar) for automation and tooling.
