Sr. Data Engineer - Snowflake
About The Position
Data Ideology is seeking a Sr. Snowflake Data Engineer to join our growing team in a client-facing, consultative role that blends solution design with hands-on delivery. You will work directly with clients and our internal teams to design, implement, and optimize modern data platforms in Snowflake. This role is ideal for experienced data engineers who want to expand their impact by engaging with clients early in the process to understand requirements, shape solutions, and then lead the delivery of high-quality implementations. While you will occasionally support the scoping of new projects, this is not a sales role — your primary focus will be on technical execution, solution architecture, and delivery leadership.

- Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and modern data tooling (Airflow, Fivetran, Power BI, Looker, Informatica, etc.).
- Prior experience in a consulting or client-facing delivery role.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across technical and business stakeholders.
- SnowPro Core Certification required (or willingness to obtain upon hire)
Nice To Haves
- advanced Snowflake certifications preferred.
Responsibilities
- Design and build scalable, secure, and cost-effective data solutions in Snowflake.
- Develop and optimize data pipelines using tools such as dbt, Python, CloverDX, and cloud-native services.
- Participate in discovery sessions with clients to gather requirements and translate them into solution designs and project plans.
- Collaborate with engagement managers and account teams to help scope work and provide technical input for Statements of Work (SOWs).
- Serve as a Snowflake subject matter expert, guiding best practices in performance tuning, cost optimization, access control, and workload management.
- Lead modernization and migration initiatives to move clients from legacy systems into Snowflake.
- Integrate Snowflake with BI tools, governance platforms, and AI/ML frameworks.

- Mentor junior engineers and support knowledge sharing across the team.
