- Look for root causes, improve the platform continuously, and address issues with candor and practical problem-solving.
- Work as one team by partnering across technical and business groups, sharing context, and building trust.
- Balance speed and control so the platform remains useful, safe, and maintainable as demand grows.
- Use clear documentation and disciplined operating practices to support consistency and handoffs.
Qualifications

- 3-6 years of experience in data engineering, data platform engineering, or a closely related role.
- Hands-on experience with Snowflake and modern cloud data platform concepts.
- Strong SQL skills for data manipulation, validation, and troubleshooting.
- Experience building or supporting data pipelines, transformations, or analytics data models.
- Working knowledge of data governance, secure access, and data quality practices.
- Experience collaborating with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Strong documentation, communication, and problem-solving skills.
Nice to Have
- Experience with Posit (RStudio), Python, or other analytics development environments.
- Exposure to Azure Data Factory, Fivetran, Snowpark, dbt, or Airflow.
- Experience supporting workforce analytics or other business intelligence environments.
- Familiarity with CI/CD practices, Git, or Azure DevOps.
