- Optimize Snowflake performance (Clustering, Warehouses, Query tuning).
- Implement and follow data access controls and security practices for regulated financial data.
- Help automate workflows using Airflow, Snowflake Tasks or TWS.
- Monitor pipeline executions, investigate failures, and support issue resolution.
- Support end users and downstream data consumers

- Understanding of MCP and AI Agents.
Education & Experience
