Strong knowledge of security practices, including RBAC and data compliance standards. Experience with Terraform, Git, and CI/CD methodologies. Familiarity with data ingestion pipelines and monitoring tools is a plus. This role is not focused on BI development or data engineering; instead, you will own the core infrastructure aspects of Snowflake. Our offices are located in Atlanta, GA; Boston, MA; Morristown, NJ; Plano, TX; St. Louis, MO; St. Petersburg, FL; and Hyderabad, India, and we support a hybrid and remote-friendly culture.
