In this role, you will use advanced SQL and Python to analyze large-scale datasets, model cloud consumption behaviors, and create data-driven insights for Snowflake customers.
Snowflake platform expertise and FinOps skills are not required — we will train you.
What matters most is your ability to work with complex data, derive insights, think in unit economics, and clearly communicate findings to business and technical stakeholders.

• Strong SQL skills — ability to query, aggregate, model, and interpret large datasets.
• Strong Python skills (pandas, numpy, data modeling, exploratory analysis).
• Solid understanding of statistics, experimentation, time series, optimization techniques, or benchmarking.
• Experience working with large-scale datasets from data warehouses, cloud environments, or analytics platforms.
• Ability to translate complex data into simple unit economics and business insights.
• Experience preparing clear executive-level narratives, dashboards, or insights reports.
• Strong critical thinking and structured problem solving.
• Experience presenting findings to non-technical stakeholders.
• Ability to break complex concepts into simple explanations.
• Strong ownership mentality, curiosity, and willingness to learn specialized Snowflake tooling.

• Translate quantitative findings into clear, actionable insights that help customers reduce waste and improve ROI.
• Develop reusable analytical frameworks for consumption modeling and workload optimization.
• Partner with account teams, Sales Engineers, and Value Engineers to support customer conversations with data-backed recommendations.
